Your average price is about $1.10 per figure, so that makes it a good score! They are each worth more than that. Even though some are from the early 90's. For example, the green figure on the bottom row(forth one) is a Firefly from that part of the run. The second to last figure on the second to last row is the last version of Major Blood(also 90's.)

Here's the direct link to YoJoe's WHOBIT, the link on their website doesn't always work...
YOJOE.COM | WHOBIT (Accessory Identification) Also 3DJoes.com is nice, each figure is displayed on a single page, no links to click.... 3DJOES - Home I need to find one of those Sonic orange Lampreys. .

It looks like you may have a variant Serpentor's cobra as well, unfortunately the tail is broken

Here;s the thing about replacement o-rings, most of the 80's joes are going to require them sooner or later. I don't think that it detracts from the value of the figure at all. Great score BTW, $50 is well worth what you got for your first purchase. You have figures in there that I don't have yet...and I have a butt ton of figures.

Very nice. Good haul and some great figures.
Like most others I too always refer to YoJoe.com and sometimes cool toy review for other lines.

Thank you for all of the help! Thanks for pointing out the Corps figure. This lot included about 10 of those and about 9 other broken Joes. I want to buy some replacement rubber bands for a few of the figures. Do collectors look down on figures with replacement bands? I'm just worried that if I ever trade any in the future that people don't want figs with replacement bands. Thanks for all of the help!

no collector can make an issue about the rubber band (size 9 oring) because hasbro used basic plumbing/automotive orings, and yes they do break all the time. So I would say you did very well. When buying lots of joes (I buy lots of toys for a living) I always follow the cobra trooper rule= $3 a figure for any army builder/cobra trooper figure. In your lot there, I calculated $57 as my offer price. So I would say you did very good IMHO. I would also give an extra $3 for the headman figure, because I know a lot of collectors that like that figure to customize tomax/xamot in their business suits. (I also throw in $5 for snake eyes/storm shadow/zartan complete/any original 13 complete). YOJOE.COM is great, also there is a reference book by Mark Bellomo that I call my bible
To the OP: The lot you got is worth way more than $50, that's for sure! Here are some of the complete/near complete figures that I like: Alley Viper 1989 - He just needs his rifle, which can be found cheap. Very popular figure and goes for $10-15 complete. Night Viper 1989 - Extremely popular. You have his monocle, which is easily lost. You just need his rifle which is cheap. Also goes for about $10-15 complete. B.A.T. 1991 - The '90s figures aren't so popular, but you've got this guy complete and he isn't too bad. Worth about $10. Metal-Head 1990 - I believe you have all of his accessories. And the best part is that the pegs on his legs are intact! They've got to be one of the most commonly broken pieces. Probably worth $15. There are some other good pieces, but you've already made your money back on those 4! So it's definitely a good purchase. |

50 seems very reasonable for that score.
As far as rubber bands go, I hate replacing mine because they all seem to go at once. The collectors club has "Original Hasbro O-Rings for 3 3/4 figures" if you are looking for official replacements but you can find non-official ones on the Bay.
