Star Wars Vintage Collection
Strategies For Promoting Action Figures
I have been an avid collector of action figures all my life and today I am a proud owner of 1700 figures dating from 1975 to 2008. That’s almost 33 years or three decades of collecting action figure toys. After all, owning rare and original figures of my favorite comic books’ characters, TV series characters, and movie characters is an old hobby, and one I must admit, that is highly cherished. Besides, I also know many people who have crossed the 40 year mark, and still love to collect figures!
But every once in a while I must create space for new inclusions in my selection as well as for i need to market a few. If you are also thinking of selling some of your figures, old and new, then you will need a little help. The important things to know are:
- At what price you can sell your action figures
- How or where you can find buyers for them.
Here is an insight into the process of selling your action figures.
Price of your Action Figure
Pricing of your action figure will depend on several factors such as:
Year of manufacture: You can’t sell your 1989 figure for the same price as your 2006 figure unless it falls in the vintage category. A quick Google search for a particular figure should show the various details about the manufacturer and the date the figure was manufactured. You can also visit popular auction websites and action figure stores to find out the market prices for new and old action figures. This will provide you with a rough estimate of the kind of price that you need to quote.
Condition of action figure: Whether it is a brand new figure, a vintage series, a used figure or a packed one; you need to check the following before you can sell them:
- They should not be torn or creased in any way
- They should not have cracks on the plastic
- They should not be warped in any manner
- The plastic should not be discolored
- The action figures should not have any scratches or even minor damages
What you need to understand is that your action figures will be worth much more if they are in good condition.
Hot sellers: You should search over the internet for action figures that are considered to be hot sellers. You can find several lists with some common names like GI Joe, Star Wars, Spiderman, Wolverine, etc. If you have a hot product then you can get a good price for it. So start by selling those action figures, which are more in demand.

Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out $12.95 Adam Koford’s The Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out is a hilarious and charming mash-up of LOLcats (those ubiquitous online photos of cats, captioned humorously and ungrammatically) with the stylings of early 20th-century American comics, such as Walt Kelly’s Pogo and George Herriman’s Krazy Kat. These single-panel comic strips, drawn on “vintage” off-white paper and purportedly created around 1912 by Koford’s great-grandfather, Aloysius “Gorilla” Koford, allow familiar jokes, plus references to Proust, Star Wars, Lovecraft, classical mythology, and everything in between, to transcend their origins in a fresh, inventive way.The Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out presents the very best of Koford’s online archives, alongside 30 new comics produced exclusively for this collection. An introduction by bestselling author and Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, whose “700 Hoboes” project inspired Koford to create The Laugh-Out- Loud Cats, frames the strips for both the longtime fan and the LOLinitiate. |
