The toys and figurines from the hoarder house are selling briskly and for a surprising amount of money. We've been able to identify most of them but this one has us stumped.

Who is he?

Wow, that's great!

I have no idea about the figurine, but if you google "help identify action figure" there are some pages you might look through?

Good luck!

I've posted to a collectable action figure forum. Let's see what they have to say. Does anyone have a Pierce’s Collectible Action Figure Atlas? Smiler

Mrs pj thinks it’s one from the 1980s X-Men milieu.

Just a guess.

Or Masters of the Universe? They all seem to be half dressed like yours, Steve...

He-man (He-men?) seem very similar...

Who would admit to that?

I poked around a bit (still looking at lamps..)

It looks a lot like He-man or Zodac, but the accessories don't match up.

Do let us know if you find out, I'm curious now!

He's made like a Masters of the Universe/He-man figure, that's for sure. They made hundreds of different ones over the years.

The stuffed collectibles; Cabbage Patch, Furby, Muffy, etc. They're just not popular. Can't even get $5 on eBay.

Ditto glassware, even named stuff like Fenton. It will sell but for almost nothing. It has to be sold for local pickup, (people buy multiples, break one and demand their money back on all of them), which doesn't help.

One lady at the garage sale says she uses the glassware to bring food to potlucks and such and then leaves the dishes there as a hostess gift. Sounds similar to what happens with zucchini in the midwest. Cool

I can't decide if that's nice or just dumping your junk on someone else! :P If someone did that here, we'd be calling them "you left your cake plate!!"

How many times were spoken the words:

"You're playing with DOLLS?"

"They're NOT dolls... they're ACTION FIGURES!"

Turns out he is "Brainor", part of the "Infaceable" series. Made in 1984 by Galoob.

Worth maybe $20.

I sent a picture to a guy who runs a collector's website and he wrote right back.
