my ship ported in Almeria, Spain in the early 90's, and i found a bonafide comic store. on the counter were two large clear plastic containers, both filled with PVC figures. all loose, and no plastic bags, there was a lot of friction, paint rubbing off, etc. but i searched through those buckets for the figures in the best condition.
off the top of my head, here's what i got:
- Aquaman (it looks like yours, but i don't remember the left foot base)
- Hal Jordan Green Lantern
- Starfire
- Green Arrow
- Hawkman
- Superman
- Batman
- Flash
- Wolverine (two versions: gold & silver claws)
- Spider Woman (two verions: classic & blue/red paint scheme)
- Thor
- Spiderman
- Hulk
- She-Hulk
- Iron Man
- Silver Surfer
- Punisher
- Daredevil
- Dr. Doom
- Conan
- T2 Terminator
i know there's more, just can't remember. these are great looking figures, with superb detail for the time (scales on Aquaman's shirt, for example). they appear to be hand painted, and look awesome except for the facial features. i'll work on getting some pics.
these were the first PVC figs i bought, and i was hooked... i have hundreds now, more than i can display. but these from Spain are my favorites.
over the years i've seen them going for some decent $ on that auction site.
