    [​IMG] think there is another name for these guys but i just doesnt come to mind right now . the ones in the pic are not too hard to come by and not that expensive . bullmark did some mid size versions that are very rare . " junior " machinders were also made along with a boss pilder missle fire launch base . mattel also sold these as jumbo machinders overseas based on thier shogun warrior line .

    Nah, you got it right. The full name is "Blocker Army IV: Machine Blasters", but that's just semantics.

    That's the robot's name on the far right, followed by Sandaio, Boss Palder, and Bull Ceaser on the far left.

    I have a pic of the Robo Kress and Sandaio mid size somewhere. I'll try to dig them up. Machine blasters are dope. Great thread!

    Very cool! I like the Takemi ones but the BULLMARK ones...wow!
    Expensive, but cool as all hell.

    Here's a shot of them (minus Picotto).

    since i am just now starting to delve into the world of vintage, what kind of price does something like these guys go for? an average would be cool, if someone doesn't want to divulge exactly what they paid, i would totally understand. thanks for the info.

    these guys are cool, btw, thanks for sharing the pics

    Takemi versions (first pic) = cheap. Maybe only 3,000 yen or so MiBag.

    Bullmark versions = A lot. I've been seeing them go for $300+++ each!

    I don't really recall -- but I don't think that high. Maybe more like $500.
