Count's collection always gives me wood. Not just because he displays my print in there nonchalantly but because the Madballs and zombie figures freakin RULE! (said in a thick NuYawk accent)
Mutagen Man from TMNT is THE SHIT even after he broke i had his guts untill a few years ago : ) battle beasts!!!! AHHHH!!!!!!!!! anyone remember those monsters youd clip to your shoelaces?!!!! i swear i have the wolfman in a box of stuff somewhere.
Speaking of killer toys from the good ol' days, did anyone have Tendril from Inhumanoids? I did, and man he ruled, I wonder where the hell he ran off to? Maybe my mom threw him away, or maybe I sold him at a tag sale. Damn. He was big, too, at least 18" tall.
Recent cheap pickups. The Universal monsters made from heavy solid plastic probably around mid 80s. The small rubber dudes from cleaning out my cousin's basement.
ok, will add to this cool thread....GiTS mini figures. around $8 each...if you can find them. amazing detail...
Oh MAN that Tachikoma rules, as do the rest, if you have any extras you're trying to get rid of let me know...
These are wonderful. Any further info., maybe stamped on the feet or back? They must've been made after the M.U.S.C.L.E. / Kinnikuman craze.
nope. they were made before Muscle guys. We got into muscle dudes too (nohomo but toy way) and these were definitely predecessors by a few years.
Aw man, I had tons of these guys too...exact sculpts. They came in a bunch of colors too...not sure if they were really a "branded" release or just a sort of generic party favor type thing? Anybody know?
here you go they are Happy Meal toys from 1979 http://neatocoolville.blogspot.com/2006/04/mcdonalds-happy-meal-box-space-aliens.html i asked on the MUSCLEs/Battle Beasts board!
I actually had a lot of cheap toys, but I threw them out for room for a guitar and a Wii and stuff like that.
in volume 5 of Yotsuba & they refer the robot as "Cardbo" and the kid inside is "Miura" but I like "Danboard" more, wonder if it was changed for the US? I need one of these to go with my Yotsuba fig!
