Really chew on that a bit before you respond.
I mean, I've donated blood that saves lives and helps people. Gold is a shiny rock and I have to pay for it if I want it. Gold does have a practical use. It's a good conductor of electricity and has been using in electronics manufacturing for a long time. That's where a lot of it goes. The computer you're using right now has gold in it.

True, but if that's completely the reason gold has value then why are the prices of electronics constantly going down to the point of things being practically being disposable. Ahh, we could have a long boring convo about this. Let's not. But something to think about.

 Re: Toygraph Space Troopers
Yeah, they're about the same size. Both Playmobil and Airgam had some really cool space sets.

Some may think it boring, but I'd eventually like to see some human headed figures to pit against the Space Troopers.

 Re: Toygraph Space Troopers
The red/black looks nice. But the green spray on the face looks terrible. And I'm undecided on the gold arms.

Then again, I haven't seen Space Monkeys, so maybe that's what they look like!  I do like the gold arms. I figure the captain gets those, and the grunts should get silver.

I figure the captain gets those, and the grunts should get silver. I agree that the colors are very primary. But overall I like it. The Red is nice as the armor. I don't think he's a Captain though, he's missing the skull on the chest.

 Re: Toygraph Space Troopers
Damn your eyes, hillsy!! Don't you remember the green monkey-men who built Mechagodzilla!? Whaddaya, stoopit? That monkey's milk, like two tits, for sure! The Airgam fig's pretty hot, too. Does the skull glow? That would absolutely make it a must-track-down. ... Hey, quick question about the recent totally-clear/unpainted-bodied trio: do they all have GID heads (painted or not)...or is just the unpainted head the only GID one?
