Default What's the rarest figure you own?

Dave's recent shot of the Viper Pilot got me to thinking about rare figures. What would you consider to be the rarest figure you own? For me, off the top of my head, it's perhaps this year's con Bullhorn or Hotwire, there doesn't seem to be many of them about (and I certainly had to pay through the nose to get them). I should also mention the 2003 con Firefly two-set. The Black Firefly is awesome!

I'd have to say my Cobra Mortal fig from the con set a few years ago is likely the more rare figure I have.

I suppose last year's con figures. These are the only convention exclusives I own. Then I also have a SMB Leatherneck.

Not counting any of my foreign joes I'd probably say either my 2002 Convention Paratrooper Dusty or my Steel Brigade version B or 1983 Silver pads Grand Slam

Yeah, I meant regular US release figures.

I dunno...everytime I think something is rare, I pay through the nose for it and it ends up costing about 1/2 what I paid. Some rare figures I have are;


Listen N Fun Tripwire
StarDuster V1
The Special Missions Brazil Team
Pimp Daddy Destro (25th)
The Fridge
Sgt Slaughter V1
Many of the 80's vehicle drivers (Wild Card, Hot Seat, Steamroller, payload and hardtop, etc)
Night Force
Sky Patrol
(Just wish I had got all the Sky Patrol and Night Force Vehicles!!)



I know some I don't have but would kill to get;

Roddy Piper
GrandSlam and StarDuster from the 2007 con
Pimp Daddy Destro V 1
Steeler and Rip-it from the 2007 Con

I got a 82-83 mail-in hooded Cobra Commander, but I don't think he's that rare.

I think the convention figures I've. Two Skull Squad Troopers, 1 Headhunter Guard, 1 Headhunter Stormtrooper and Gristle (the last 3 con figures I've to thank Craig). I could add here the Headhunter v1, not that rare, but with high orices at eBay.
