 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
It's so funny that so many Superman knock-offs look like Jerry Seinfeld.

 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
I'ev never heard of those! Pretty great looking, I need to scope them out. At first I thought it was a bootleg Super Natrual figure.

 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
yeah, they pretty much disappeared. here's an cut-n-paste i took from a blog i found about them that explains why better than i could explain it:
The Interfaceables had faces which change from man to beast. When you extend the upper portion of the body, air would inflate and deflate the face completing the transformation - much better than Transformers, in my opinion. Unfortunately, the faces were made of thin rubber which easily tore or degraded, so not many have survived. Each figure was 6" tall and were packaged with exclusive weapons, as well as a belt, which was the same for all figures.
i'm usually not on of those figure collectors anal about MOC, but for the reason mentioned above, i find that i have to go that route with this line.

 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
Looks like Obama totally ripped them off too with the tagline "Mystic Warriors of Change" Actually I'd prefer if that was his, or anyone's, campaign slogan. I might even believe something they said. The "Mystic" part to be exact.

 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
Infaceables...pretty sweet!
But that reminds me: de-card or not de-card? My instinct has always been to de-card...but I gotta admit, for pricier stuff, I feel real nervous about it!
How do the rest of you guys roll?

 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
If the packaging is great and enhances the figure w/o hiding any of it's positives I keep it carded. Most toys DON'T do that so I open most.

They really are tough to collect because of the the common face damage. I will only not open a toy if it seems so rare I would feel too guilty, so almost everything gets opened. It seems like a lot of action figure collectors of rare (or rarer) lines like this seem to feel a lot more strongly about the issue of opening toys than sofubi collectors unbagging things.

 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
i the package artwork is awesome, and there isn't any visually annoying creases or yellow, i'll keep it carded. i open everything else. and it doesn't always have to do with the value aspect. for example, i have a set of video command figures MOC. the packages are flawless, so i kept them in intact. this figure line is pretty much worthless. i have been picking up already opened ones for next to nothing so i can view them both ways.

 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
I guess I very rarely buy vintage carded toys. Vinyl comes bagged, and I've got no qualms about opening them (since you're really just removing staples in the header). And, obviously, most vintage diecast come in boxes that are easy to open. But de-carding a vintage action figure devalues it a TON on the market...which makes me really hesitant. I don't really collect too many of 'em, so I don't worry too much about it. And the few carded figures I buy are from such obscure lines, there's just no demand...so no value... Oh, but here's a good example: a while back I picked up Sucklord's Starstak. The fucking card glows in the dark! I just couldn't choose...so I ended up buying two: de-carded one, kept the other for display!
