Hello, I'm a long-time reader, first-time poster on the Non-Jakks board. I usually collect Jakks, but I also have an LJN, Hasbro and Charapro (Japan) collection. This afternoon, I decided to visit into a comics store in downtown Montreal that sold used LJN and Hasbro figures. It just happened to be my day, when I noticed several figures on display that were out of sync with their usual stock. From my past browsing through the figure database, I recognized they were eight Kelian AAA figures. They're in great condition, except for some small paint scuffs from being played with. Here are the pics:  Mascara Sagrada, Octagon, La Parka & Fuerza Guerrera  Perro Aguayo, El Hijo Del Santo, Blue Panther & Cien Caras I haggled the store owner to sell them to me for $1 Canadian each (about 85 cents US). I convinced him that they were knock-off wrestlers from Mexico, sold at dollar stores. Unfortunately, I couldn't find Rey Misterio Jr., Konnan, Psicosis or Heavy Metal. Still, a great addition to my collection... Please let me know what you think. Thanks for looking! |

Mascara Sagrada and Fuerza Guerrera are extremely hard to find and worth a great deal. The others are less hard to find, but still worth $ 15 easily. One of the best buys I have seen on this board... congratulations. ==== Side note: a few months back I sold a loose Mascara Sagrada on eBay and it made me $ 72 (a loose Rey and Psicosis made me $ 160 each). Here was the auction for Sacrada: cgi.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260034481465 |

I never knew the Kelian AAA's were that large. Congrats on the find, and thanks for the pics.

i think you need vampiro too Close...Vampiro (Canadiense) was part of the CMLL line made by OSFTM. It wasn't part of this set. Thanks for the compliments, guys. Hey STOM, thanks for posting your completed eBay auction. I really feel good about my pickup now. |

That Vampiro kinda sucked. I got the whole set when I was little from a Dollar Store. I still kick myself for not hanging on to those. The only good figure from the set was Ultimo Dragon, IMO.
