Wow. Someone dug up some good old stuff here. Very good discussion. When I began to start collecting again a few years ago, I never intended to just buy toys, stand them up on a shelf and leave them either. I planned on posing them and taking photographs with them like I used to back when I was a kid. My motivation was those Harryhausen movies, with King Kong, and the Skeletons fighting Jason, etc. I had an 8mm camera back then that my friends and I used to do animation with them. Then I discovered this site which absolutely flabbergasted me! I am not alone! There are people out there who share the same interest! And that added another dimension of enjoyment for me.
Good to read/see The Elders again, btw. The beloved Outrider.
But also the good guys from way back when...Death, Sonneilon, Ender...
All gone now...
