I've been getting vintage kaiju books off yja and the new S7 mag. And coming from a new jack vantage point, its great to see where stuff like pipe cleaners in the arms came from as well as "traditional" color ways. It's easy to hear "oh thats a plant walder color way" and be all "oh ok its some old toy" but to actually see the toys makes a huge difference. Would it be safe to say that one Astro Mu guy is a serioius influence on the Skullbrain (I just got the Mook so I don't know his name).

I always wondered, can the standard Capsule robo fit in the big one?


That would be heavy!

Who doesn't love Astro-Mu? I hate to part with any of it, but luckily these were the doubles I had built up over the last few years. I will just have to start building up parts new again!

I only regret never buying them when I had the chance years ago. Luckily I have forced myself to focus on less difficult things to locate MIB.

How topical. ;-) This is when we were at Warren's house last time. Just posted this today without knowing Brian posted a sale page.

I have all six in regular bodies and then four of the six on missile firing bodies. I still need a missile firing Mars-Man and a missile firing Devil Bado.

Almost every figure I have has been made up of building the figures one part at a time. One glove here, one torso there, etc. Very rarely do they show up complete (much less boxed unless you are warren). Astro-Mu is the ultimate study in patience.

I love that it takes so much time Brian. Astro Mu seems to be a great way to achieve a zen-like attitude towards this hobby. Or a quick way to drive you insane. ;-)
