SUPERMAN AND THE MOKES

 My handful of purchases today at Elsecar Antiques.

A quartet of old Superman Pocketbooks comics in superb condition, yet to be dated. £2 each.

Do you know them?


and a really interesting little boxed wagon, part of the MOKES range, again needing to be dated.


The Part 5 The Awakening box is slightly bigger than a Matchbox one and contains the small pink and orange wagon, four collectors' cards, a sheet of decals and a mini-comic book.

Turns out the MOKES are a race of vehicles that are in conflict with another race of vehicles, the STUKKAS. Each has a planet. It reminds me a lot of Transformers, with Autobots and Decepticons, except these tiny vehicles don't transform.

I have no idea where MOKES were sold but they originally cost 99p. Mine was £3. After pulling off all the sellotape from the box I'm quite chuffed with this intriguing boxed set.

Any good?

    I have never heard of these vehicles, but they look interesting. There is certainly plenty in the box.
