    Thanks for being so awesome - I finally joined!

    Hey everyone,

    I've been reading the boards for about a year now but finally decided to get taptalk up and running so I could join.

    Like I'd imagine most of you I started collecting when I was a kid but, tragically, my parents gave all my MOTU away when I was in my teens without letting me know, they've never heard the end of it!

    I was in a great vintage toy store called The Toy Society in Cambridge Ontario about a year ago and saw a vintage Moss Man on the card and decided to pick it up. Since then I've been hunting around trying to collect my favorites in the line, picked up some MOTUC stuff as well along the way . I tend to favor the villains in the line. Hordak is my all time favorite.

    I'm hoping the marketplace on the boards here will be a good resource. I'm picking up a few things from aoiddr as I type this. Some eBay sellers seem to be a bit unreasonable in their pricing but I've seen lots of fair stuff in the marketplace so far.

    Anyway, I'm excited to join the conversation. Nice to talk, listen and learn from such a knowledge group of people!

    Here's a pic of a Skeletor I picked up yesterday in Cambridge for 5 bucks, no Havoc Staff or sword but I gave him a good clean and a polish and he turned out pretty sweet!



    What do you find is the best way to clean up a real dirty figure?

    Welcome to the forums!

    I know they have some tips and tricks in various older threads in the Custom Creations section for cleaning and repairing figures.
    Hope to see you at Power-Con, America's Mightiest Toy Convention!
