Yeah, I bought one of these too at NYCC, he was selling them for like 25 bucks there. I think he told me, he had like 500 or around that produced, then he lost like one hundred of them on the shipping back. Instead of painting them all up in the same color way, he should have released a bunch of different smaller color runs... oh well. Anyway, it is glow vinyl, why you would paint completely over glow vinyl baffles me, but I've thought about stripping mine too. |

What did it look like before you painted it? Was it just green? I've been really confused by this tobor thing. |

Is it evil that I find it amusing that he still has some of his "edition of 50" pieces left after like a year and a half? |

Didja know that there was actually a Tobor toy in the 70s? http://www.plaidstallions.com/true78/electronics.html I feel like I've also seen a toy or robot design that looks very, very similar to this Tobor toy, in particular, the arms. Can anyone remember what this is? |
