Soren, those above are Polish bootlegs and extremly hard to find. The cardbacks pop up on Ebay every now and then, but I never seen the figures on there. As for the Force knock offs, haven't got into those. SW is about the only thing I got knock offs for. I couldn't afford to collect everything out there. As for what I am into, heres a small list

SW, G.I. Joe, MOTU, Battlestar Gallactica, Clash of the Titans, Black Hole, Buck Rogers, Marvel comics figures, Lone Ranger, and a few others. I got a full set of BSG loose figures and Clash of the titans I'm missing one. I haven't bought anything in a long time for any of those lines. And yhea, if I had everything out on display (instead of packed up in the closet) it would look like a toy shop.

Hi Chris

That is nice little list of toys you collect . I have a little bit of Black Hole paper work that you might wanna look at .


About the card backs. In Norway , Sweden , Findland and Denmark. GI Joe was sold as Action Force. So your cards can be from europe.

I have never seen the figs you got there before. But the are cool

Well Louise noticed i picked up the Optimus Prime a few weeks back so she got me this today. I cant believe how complete and detailed it is!

Thats cool as hell Jay. I've been eyeing the new Transformers for awhile but haven't made the plung yet.

Cool Trans former Jay . And nice girl who gives you toys

Chris this is a nordic GI Joe / Action Force moc like i was talking about . And he is new aswell

Thats a sweet piece, Soren. I love the international pieces. One day down the line when I have the extra cash I'll start diving into those. But as for the two cardbacks I got, they are Polish versions of them and your lucky to find them under $50. I got a killer deal on all the pieces I got in one big lot.

1 year revival of an old thread: YEAH BABY

Nice protos AJ. That 12" is just freaky.

I agree. That thing looks like it'll knife you in your sleep.

Ok posting here as well as requested might as well add some info at the same time.

This is not Star Wars but I wanted to share it anyway since there are some GI Joe fans here.

These are Medecins Sans Frontieres by Berchet(France) in 1988. They are not well known and are rare. Not very expensive though since there are no real market for them.
They have similar body construction to Disney The Black Hole figures and GI Joe(I would say a lot more like the Black Hole figures), but I guess they can be classified as GI Joe knock offs.
The little sick black kid is more like a Star Wars figure.

They are not the same plastic as GI Joe and appear to be very fragile. The accessories that look really handy are in fact very impractical and most of them don't work even with the figures that it came with. All figures have a sticker on them which with age easily falls off, especially from the cloth.

I can imagine these are diminishing slowly because people can't find loose figures, so they buy mocs and open them.

Overall I love the line

I bought a complete figure set and a vehicle and this guy was awesomely fast with shipping. Not a member here though.








The box had a serious amount of stamps, it sucks the post office placed their sticker ontop of them. I don't collect but would have loved seeing all of these lol.

Thanks for posting Claes.

Here's the history: Medicins Sans Frontiers (Doctors without borders) was formed in 1971 by French doctors working to help the population in war-torn Nigeria at the time. Following this they grew as an organisation and continued to go around the world to places where war, famine and natural disasters had struck. They still exist today and continue to work for humanitarian causes.

The figures you have were made to raise money for the cause - in particular for vaccines - the idea being that each figure sold equalled one vaccination. The themes of the figures were medical/rescue and featured black as well as white characters to probably reflect the different regions of the world the organisation worked in.

The company that made them - Berchet - were originally a French plastic toy company. They also still exist and today make toys for babies, a bit like the Early Learning Centre brand.

So, for me, the toys you have here are very very special! A rare chance to see toys made with some humanitarian intentions instead of just profit.

Congrats on a great set

Claes, I do collect stamps and it is a shame how the post offices destroy another piece of history like they do. Bad enough they take a marker and destroy them, but to place an oversized stamp/label like that over it, its sad to see.

Oh by the way, awesome looking set. And nice background story on them Paul. It is good to see something like that, as you said, for a cause and not pure profit. What does a set like that run and is it a complete set?

I don't really know any more info on them. It looks like they released just the eight figures Claes showed and a vehicle - The backs of the mocs show eight characters and their names but not the vehicle.
