I ask because as far as I'm aware, Playmates (which was a newly formed company in 1966) did not manufacture any "Flash Gordon"-themed toys until 1996, when it released merchandise to tie in with that year's animated TV series. Unfortunately, this particular series of figures has not gained much value over the years, with the Dale Arden figure currently fetching between $4 and $10 on sites like eBay. If you are interested in the value of other "Flash Gordon" toys, feel free to look at the WorthPoint Worthopedia, which will provide you with additional information. Hope that helps. -James Hi Debbie,
