This is crazy cool. Hang on to it. I don't know how much it's worth money-wise, but in nerd value...it's got both the Man From U.N.C.L.E. logo
and it's from Ideal Toys Corp, so I'd price it fairly high. Wish I had one.
biggrin
Nice, looks like you know your stuff. I never heard of that show so I wiki'd it and it sounds very retro cool
cool
Also I found out that this gun was sold in a package with a stock, silencer, and holster. Wish toys were that cool nowadays
smile
Ha, ha. Thanks. I only know about the show cause my dad tends to tell long, rambling stories about this or that tv show....
That is cool.
surprised
Most of the toy guns I buy I get online for like a buck and then steampunk them up. When I first get them, they're all silly looking and brightly colored. -_-
You found a real gem.
smile
Thanks! and thats very cool. Do you mean you buy those neon colored cap and "light and sound" guns from like walmart and paint them to look cool? That is sick! Can I see pics?
biggrin
Yeah. Most folks I know buy Nerf but I find the cheap-o ones work nicely and I like the lights and ray gun sounds, plus they're affordable so when I sell them, I can offer really competitive prices. Now that I think about it, I actually don't have any good, close up pics. Just ones taken from too far away or on on my phone...I'd take some but I live in the dorms at my university and all my good guns are in my workshop back home. (That sounds sooo strange...)
Hah thats okay. I really would like to do this myself too (not to this gun, other guns). any tips? and is spray paint okay?
Oh, yeah, spray paint's the best thing to use. Depending on the look I'm going for I'll use a red, black, blue or brown base coat, usally in a matte finish. Once the base coat's done, I do a top coat in the color or shade I want in a glossier finish, then I spray a little paint close-range into a cup and use a brush for the little details. For age and wear, I use Rub-n-Buff. It's your bff when you're dong guns. You can use it for the detailing too.
