Re: Neat and gnarly Nostalgic Heroes
Wow, nice Group. Jealous of that 8 Man. I loved that anime as a kid. Sci-fi used to play it all the time along side all that other stuff, Akira, vampire Hunter D, Demon City Shinkuku, I Bid on one not too long ago on YJA but lost the auction.

Re: Neat and gnarly Nostalgic Heroes
I love those elongated T-28's that Coop posted - I don't think I've seen those before. NH is a much underappreciated toy-maker.

Re: Neat and gnarly Nostalgic Heroes
Wow. Thanks for all the pictures. I love all the T-28s, but the meditating ones are just too dope.

Re: Neat and gnarly Nostalgic Heroes
Whole lot of wonderfulness, there, and a side of NH I hadn't seen, as I pay so much more attention to the monsters.Thanks for sharing, Coop!

Re: Neat and gnarly Nostalgic Heroes
I like those dinosaurs. It doesn't get much better than a robotic dinosaur, except maybe a robotic dragon.

Re: Neat and gnarly Nostalgic Heroes
^^^ I can see why you would spend some time hunting these Gary's down. They are really special. I do have a question though. I can't see any other articulation other than the arms. How are these pulled?

Re: Neat and gnarly Nostalgic Heroes
You can't quite make it out, but there is also a joint that goes all around the body just above the legs. The tail is also a separate piece, and rotates a bit. I should have take some more angle shots (that'll be for next time).
I am not sure how they are pulled Connell, I would guess in these two halves (i.e. top and bottom, with the appendages being separate), but they also still maintain the distinct 'joint' line from the original model, so it could be that it is made in separate pieces too, but I don't think that is the case - it/the torso seems to be one piece.

Re: Neat and gnarly Nostalgic Heroes
The seam is just from the kits being used to make the mold. The hands and tail are separate pieces, yes, but if you look close you'll find that the legs are cast as one separate piece as well, which I'm sure is the pull-point. There's a diagonal cut from the base of the tail to the bottom of the gut! edit: Oh, kinda like Steve just said

Re: Neat and gnarly Nostalgic Heroes
^^ Thought that was what I said. Top body = 1 piece, legs = second piece. Arms and wee little tail popped on afterwards.
