TRON Overview
Released in 1982 by TOMY, the TRON toy line was based on the Disney film of the same name. It consisted of only 4 action figures and 2 Light Cycle vehicles. The figures consisted of translucent blue or red plastic with white paint apps to mimic the digital look of the characters in the film. While originally only mildly successful, the line has gained a devoted cult following due to being a very easy to collect and contained toy line. The figures were reissued by NECA in 2002.



Clash of the Titans Overview
The Clash of the Titans toy line was a small, contained toy line released in 1980 by Mattel. This also consisted of 4 action figures and 2 creatures (Pegasus and the Kraken). Unfortunately for Mattel, the line wasn't much of a success. Many years later, the line has gained a small cult following. The Kraken has become a holy grail to collectors as finding a sealed or unbroken figures has proved very rare.

There was no box, but the figure itself was complete with all 4 arms and tail, the 2 fins shown in the picture are in 1 of 6 bins haha so we haven't gone through them all. I will keep you in mind on the clash of the titans figures. I want to sort everything, clean up figures and then take pictures and find home for all the stuff, once this is said and done I will pm anybody interested and try to work out reasonable prices, with regular shipping costs applied.

Least I can do man, buddy has no use for the toys, he no longer collects, this is all just stuff from his child hood. So if I can help him sell the figures and make a big chunk of change I get a small chunk of change lol. But I mean the guy has sooo much vintage stuff, gi joe, heman, wrestling,transforrms,clash of the titans, tron, muscle men, he's got a gi joe fighter pilot jet still in the box and still has the figure with the parachute attatched! terror dome is awesome! castle of greyskull with about a C8 box. Superion transformer still in box. Vintage optimus, soundwave, grimlock etc. SOOO much goodies, he even had original chuck norris throwing stars lol. Star wars, star trek etc. Only problem is neither of us have like a full week off just to sort through it all. The sheer amount of stuff we need that long if not more to properly piece all the stuff back together.

Once me and buddy get all the figures sorted and pieced back together. I will figure out a going rate and try to sell stuff individually, or in lots, and if it's something someone truely wants but doesn't have all the funds, we'll work out a payment plan. I will try to give bulk deals, but as the items are vintage and original it's hard to lower prices too much due to demand and overall rareness. but like 250 shipped for kraken with figures could be an idea we could entertain, I will give updates later on.

Never had either as a kid, either, though I enjoyed both movies. So I think I'm going to have to abstain from this one.

Well, I've never owned any of the toys, I have seen that Kraken before though (too bad they never made a Medusa). Really liked both movies, but....I've always, ALWAYS, wanted a light cycle!!! (Was hoping they would of released older vintage versions when Tron 2 came out.)

I never owned any of these toys when I was a kid, so I went with the cooler-looking ones in the pictures. TRON.
