Been a while since these have been talked about on here, so why not toss up a thread.
A few weeks ago I got crazy lucky and came upon an Iron Sheik pencil topper, the torso-only piece with a hole in the bottom to stick onto a pencil. I believe I've only seen 1 or 2 of those in the past 20 years, so being able to finally get one as close to "in the wild" as today's standard are likely to allow, was awesome. It's cool on its own, but the fact that it differs from the regular Sheik eraser (1 arm down, like the LJN) makes it so much better.
If that wasn't enough, I got lucky enough to catch a recent auction for a group of MOC figures. While I didn't care to have the common figures, nor did I need the Richter that was included, it had the rare Piper. I had a MOC Piper years ago, and sold it when I found a loose example. The MOC one has since made its way into a famous collection. I was happy w/my loose one and actually picked this up to help move it to a deserving home, but it's not looking too promising since I didn't get this for peanuts in the first place. Sooo for now he sits with the rest of my collection, pictured below. I don't need a loose and MOC piece, but I'm not upset by it either. Time will tell.
Anyway, here's everything together, along with an old shoebox (empty) that came along w/the latest purchase and has some cool artwork. I have literally nowhere to put that thing, so if anyone is interested please say so
