The other day I showed you some great vintage toys up for bid in Hake’s current auction, but there were also a bunch of action figures that caught my eye. Sometimes, it’s just easier to buy an entire collection than to build one piece by piece. So, if you have some cash burning a hole in your wallet and are looking to expand your action figure empire, take a look at these…

Any words of wisdom on navigating/browsing their site specifically for action figures? Appears to be pretty eclectic.

The best way is probably to browse the categories and then click on “Action Figures.” http://www.hakes.com/#browse

OMG! I might need to try and pick up that Super Powers Collection. Wouldn’t mind the Battlestar Galactica figures either. This is an aweseome find.
Brian says
Good luck! I think Hakes had a Super Powers set in one of their recent auctions, and the final price was pretty good.
