19 years ago I bought these figures… today I took them out of the package. McFarlane Beatles Yellow Submarine Action Figures from 1999. I bought them at Rubber Chicken Comics, I remember they ordered them for me, I took them home in the box they were shipped in. I then moved them to my first house, then to my second then to the studio. Today I was looking for something else and came across them, still in that original shipping box, still in their packages. A quick check online to see they are worth about what they were 19 years ago, 1 minute later, 4 opened packages and John Paul George and Ringo are under the lights and posing. These things suck to stand, top heavy, awkward feet, George was the only one to cooperate, in the dailypic he is actually offering enough support to keep all the rest from falling backwards. Not sure what my end goal was when I bought them, I am smart enough to know I will never get rich collecting toys, but you think I would have ripped open those boxes sooner. I think this leaves me with one “toy” left in original packaging, a first wave Lego dual pack of Slave 1 and a Land Cruiser. I am one slow weekend from cracking those open too.
