Pop Culture Time Capsule: TV Memorabilia & Vintage Toys
Lot 193:
Description
This lot comprises twenty-one vintage Marvel action figures manufactured by Toy Biz during the early to mid-1990s. The collection features a diverse array of characters primarily from The Uncanny X-Men, X-Force, and Maximum Carnage lines. Included are multiple examples of key characters: four Mr. Sinister figures, four Carnage figures from the Maximum Carnage series, and three Professor X figures with hoverchairs. The assortment is rounded out by two Trevor Fitzroy figures with Crystal Battle Armor, and single figures of Archangel, Sauron, Kylun, Bonebreaker, Banshee, Silver Surfer with action surfboard, Shatterstar (2nd Edition), and Sabretooth. Each figure is constructed of molded vinyl and plastic, presented on its original illustrated cardboard cardback with a clear plastic blister. These figures are iconic representations of the 1990s comic book boom and the associated animated television series. Card dimensions are approximately 11 inches by 8 inches.
Condition: All twenty-one figures remain in their original factory-sealed blister packs. The packaging exhibits various degrees of shelf wear and age-related distress. Common issues include corner softening, edge fraying, and surface creasing on the cardbacks. Notably, one Professor X cardback has a pronounced vertical crease. Several items retain original retail price stickers or adhesive residue on the card surfaces and plastic bubbles. The plastic blisters remain largely intact, though minor surface scuffing is present across the lot.
