Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw these two little beauties. Not in perfect shape, but they haven't been mangled, still have all their fingers....with a little cleaning up and some fresh paint they'll be a great addition to the LJN collection.  |

Wow!
Congrats on the score. If it were me I'd leave them unrestored. If you want better examples, sell those for what you can and look for mint ones later (or vice versa). At $5 each you're ahead enough that you could pay the difference for a near mint one once you include the profit you get from selling these. Just my opinion of course :-)

clean them nice, but don't put any paint on them. They're far from beat. If you really want to restore them, I'm sure you could sell these and buy beat ones that still have all their limbs and no chips in the rubber and still make a profit. most of the stray marks on Warrior and on Bossman's arms will scrub right off.

Just my opinion of course :-) Worth considering for sure...except for the fact I really enjoy the restoration process. We'll see, but good thoughts. I understand. It's just that those are in quite good shape as it is, someone out there would love to have them as-is to fill a gap in their collection at an easier price than great/mint shape figures go for. Beat up figures sell all the time, you could pick one up for much less than you could sell these for, and restore those. Again just a thought, so few of these are out there it's always on the minds of some to retain their originality when possible. Still, such an awesome score. I can't imagine the rush to have found them, not because of the money really but just the idea that these would be sitting at a place like that in this day and age! |

Excellent stuff. Great to see that things like this are still possible! feels like the "eBay" in people takes over and it's not possible to get stuff at these prices anymore. :/
