    @toothaction those twilight zone action figures are killer! I have the Cyclops one and it's one of my favorite things. :D

    @toothaction Those cylons somehow don't quite push all the right buttons somehow for me (probably just not enough flashy chrome and lens flare! :razz: ) but I don't need to tell you how jealous and happy I am to see them invading a space near you.

    @deafmetal You are probably right. I have not heard anything about that soundtrack, but I am immediately drawn to it. Really cool artwork and like the green vinyl. Heck, I would be so down for just an order of those Hedo patches though!

    I feel you, pHteve.

    The chrome that you seek is out there, though...

    Ha, well, in terms of paper playsets, I have to say that this is a pretty high-end looking and glossy one, if ever there was, so old-made-modern achieved!

    Great Gamera @doomboy, a very worthwhile pickup and one which no doubt eggceeds all eggspectactions.

    That threesome definitely sums up the residents of Uncanny Valley perfectly. While these particular unMegos don't quite capture the same joy for me as their plastic counterparts (admittedly taken with a heavy dose of nostalgia/childhood joy factor), more BSG is always good BSG.

    I guess dollies sometimes show up with a change of clothes.


    A good thing, as I'm absolutely certain that Mr. Wilson peed himself at 20,000 feet.

    Big fan of the former episode, much as the latter is the prettier sister that gets all the attention from the boys. Contiunally making me happy with these new fellas, D. Full swing into the new hobby, not a bad way to go (even if we'll miss you around these parts). Please tell me you will make this happen soon, though.

    As the man with all the answers said,



    @toothaction You're right of course. Don't need myself any advanced articulated dollies, but a repro box (only working of course!) would be pretty cool to have around. But that micro version is pretty stellar by any standards!

    That is a whole new wilderness for Mr. Greene. These Lost in Space toys are really great.

    This is my favorite shot that you've done from these figures. Great!

    Also: I loved my $6M Man action figure when I was a kid. I also had the mask-robot (Maskatron?). Strangely I went to school for a couple years with Richard "Oscar Goldman" Anderson's daughter in Aspen around '75-76. He was really accommodating with us kids asking about the show.

    After having an unbelievably craptastic day at work (ie. my truck broke down early in the day. Joy.) my girlfriend receives a nondescript box in the mail....and subsequently surprises me with this gem. I can not describe how much I have been wanting to view this film in full AND have my own copy. Jesus god I am so excited right now.
