Border Patrol: Custom Painted Vintage Masters of the Universe Snake Mountain

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!

I normally publish new Border Patrol posts on Tuesday, but this auction I saw on Fwoosh’s Facebook fan page is going to close this coming Monday.

Custom-Painted Vintage Mattel MOTU Snake Mountain – I’m pretty sure any Masters of the Universe Classics or vintage collector would love a Snake Mountain playset that’s been repainted by a professional painter – NECA’s Geoff Trapp painted this vintage set for the Masters of the Universe 30th Anniversary art show that ran during New York Comic Con a couple months back, and now it’s available to the highest bidder – ends Dec 10, 2012 17:41:58 PST

McFarlane Halo, DC Universe Young Justice, and More On Sale with Friday Doorbusters at Toys R Us

Toys R Us has an online deal today only for an extra 10% off, including already discounted figures. It’s a mish-mash of stuff, as usual, but there are some Halo and Young Justice figures on sale. I haven’t actually seen the new Halo stuff in stores, but got confused by the “6-inch” designation on the new stuff. Are the new Halo figures truly in the 6-inch scale? If so I might have to check them out.

McFarlane and NECA Terminator Quick Pics

I’m a huge fan of the Terminator movie franchise – well, to be more accurate, I’m a huge fan of the first two movies in the franchise – and the action figures from McFarlane and NECA are great representations of the characters. But I’m out of space in the toy room, so I snapped some quick pictures of these figures before I list them for auction.

I didn’t start picking these up until NECA got the license. The T-850 with coffin and the T-X were part of my father-in-law’s collection – he was very fond of women who kick ass, and Kristanna Loken’s Terminatrix fit the bill. I ended up picking up a McFarlane endoskeleton on eBay before NECA made their own. I’d probably have a lot more of the NECA figures but had trouble finding them at retail.
