It does make me wary to see these as listed in C10 shape. They are custom figures after all, I am pretty sure that none of them qualify for C-10 even as they came out of our hands and were placed directly by Mike into the box. - 

Then the same figures that you buy mint on card in stores don't qualify as C-10 neither as the figures are hand manipulated by workers several times before making their way into their packaging. I think there should be a line drawn between "played with" and "manipulated". I'm sure that the Canadian Con set items were just "manipulated", therefore deserving to preserve their C-10 status.

As for the figures, factory made or not, debate what you think, I believe it's pointless anyway, as that the majority of its process involved factory work, therefore it's not only factory-made because of this, but also "made in Canada" just for anyone's information.

But there had to be some machine work involved right?  I mean the HATE wasn't done by hand right?

Look at my chromed fingers and ask that question again!

First of all, keep you chrome fetish to yourself!!! 

Second, wow.  Great work, I look at my HATE and could swear it was done using a machine.   JUDOS!!!  (better than Kudos).

Just joking. I had nothing to do with the HATE toy.

Box - Factory Made
Foam Insert - Factory Made
Comic Book - Factory Made
Weapons - Factory Made
Stickers - Factory Made
Chroming of Tanks - Factory done.


Just sayin'.


And I wish Mark the best of luck in the sale of his con set. He purchased one just like everyone else and is free to do with it what he wants. I know the reason he's selling, so I personally hope it reaches the highest price yet for the set. ;-)

I agree with all of this, and you did a great job with all of it - but I was thinking more of the figures. I just can't see a customized figure being considered c10.

Agreed.  It's like a baseball card with autograph on it.  The autograph ruins the condition of the card.

As a card, but it opens it up to a whole new market as a collectible.

Agreed.  Look at Realboss's recent Rowdy Roddy Piper auction.  It sold for over $300 and it was autographed by Roddy himself.  Where the previous few auctions of that figure never made it to $300.  An autograph, especially from someone well loved, or rarely signed usually only increases the value of an item.

Just to chime in, I ran into some financial trouble and had to resell the second autographed set I had managed to buy to a private collector for $600 (not through eBay).  I think it was set #83.  I still have set #66 with everyone's autographs on the front of the box.

Is it just me, or does anybody else have a Frostback trooper that has a non glossy head? Mine from my #22 set came like this. I only noticed the difference when I saw everybody else's pics of Frostback and realized that mine may be unique. I also acquired set #75 before deciding to break it, and this time Frostback in there has a glossy head.

It's pretty even. They weren't all painted the same day.
