Please please do something funny with those hobo's though. Using lots of hobo's somewhere in a picture or story will likely be very hillarious.  :lol:

That hobo (how un-PC :P) comes with a very distinctive collar - brown if Im not mistaken - doesnt he? I bet it's a pain to find one of those, if you're a completist like me?

Thats why we call them "bums" around here  ;) It can be a pain to find any part of that bum in the US, or at least for a reasonable price. If you look at auction history you can see how expensive they can get  8}
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

There's certain rare-ish figures that sometimes come half-complete and you think 'ill buy that and complete him later' but it never works - there are some parts that are just too rare. like the yellow feather from the highwayman. half of those 3633s you see on ebay don't have the correct  feather - and they still go for a lot of money. Funnily enough i thought of you yesterday ras - i was browsing a masters of the universe forum and a good 90 % of the (US) members were moaning about the price of the figures - that made me think of you  :P

wow! is this from the auction of the vietnam vet's collection from that live auction company? i didn't bid on any of that but was very curious. i really was shocked that the lots didn't go higher. i thought perhaps the photos didn't do the collection justice and maybe the war vet component of their marketing hurt rather than helped the sale. that said, i feel like there was at least 1 lot that seemed to be misrepresented. can't remember now which. congratulations!

Awesome lot of figures! I lost the yellow flower from my hobo's hat in about 2 weeks after purchase (I was young  :))
