One man's epic collection of retro eighties' toys has been sold for £220,000 by his family following his death.

Dr Cornel Flemming amassed more than 1,600 toy action figures and cars for franchises like Star Wars, He-Man and Transformers.

The market for nostalgic toys is booming at the moment which is reflected in the prices some of the toys achieved.

An unopened pack of three He-Man figures featuring He-Man, Teela and Ram Man made by Mettel sold for an incredible £12,000.
