I've lost a lot of the parts to my sets over the years. They were really fun to play with. Matt Doughty from Onell Design is a huge Blockman fan. I think he has all of them.

Re: Any Diaclone/G1 Transformers collectors out there? He doesn't have all of them but he's damn close. I started collecting these through Matt actually. About 5 years ago he sent me a box with a bunch and I was hooked haha

The Fairlady on top is by Gig, an Italian company that licensed the figures from Takara in the early 80's, before Hasbro came along with the TF concept and set the world on its head. The bottom Fairlady is the original Takara figure from Japan. Actually, I'm pretty sure the cars are identical and both MIJ, but the packaging is different. Same with the Joustra and Diakron figures. Good old diecast metal! Oh, but one thing I should add is the Gig figures didn't come with proper missiles. They had these plunger things instead, probably out of child safety/choking considerations, would be my guess. I'm good on the Beets for now. Going forward for the time being I'm focusing on finishing up a couple of the car sets. Hopefully I can find a mangy old Convoy or toy so I can complete mine via the tried and true kit bash style.  ... Thanks for the clarification on the cars. And I forgot those were called Meteor Robos... doh!

Do you happen to have any of the Watch Robos? Sadly I don't have any Gun Robos. I have Cassette man and a bunch of bootleg stuff in that realm I also have various watch robos both real takara and different bootleg versions. I'll take some pics for you soon. Nice Captain Shark avatar btw!

Re: Any Diaclone/G1 Transformers collectors out there? The Gun Robos are fantastic, especially the 357 Magnum. Amazing detail and quality for toys from 25 years ago.
The cassettes are also favorites. But if I could snap my fingers and complete just one collection today, it would be the long box mini cars. That is a tough set to put together.

Re: Any Diaclone/G1 Transformers collectors out there? Pic doesn't work. I like the Microchange/Diaclone era Transformers stuff, but I'm more a sucker for the later Japanese G1 stuff like Masterforce.

Re: Any Diaclone/G1 Transformers collectors out there? Great collection, I've never seen that many blockmen in one place.
Are Blockman parts really interchangeable with parts on older Microman sets? I read something about that but don't have any Microman stuff to test it out on.
I also keep wondering if the Blockman stuff connects to Takara's old building block toys, like Blockcar sets and Block Town. Those bricks were a bit smaller than Lego's.

Re: Any Diaclone/G1 Transformers collectors out there? Blockman and Microman and other stuff in the Takara line has 5mm holes/pegs so that's how it all comes together.

Re: Any Diaclone/G1 Transformers collectors out there? Is that mini blockman a boot? I've a couple of blue ones, and love them as cool little robots for their simplicity, but I really should get some accessories.

Re: Any Diaclone/G1 Transformers collectors out there? I'm not sure about Blockcar and Block Town but there is probably a really good chance of it working. Everything in the Takara SF Land Realm though is interchangeable as MicromanZone stated. That includes the Microman, Henshin Cyborg, Blockman, Diaclone, Timanic, Magnemo 8, Magnemo 11, Diaclone, Transformers etc. etc. etc. yamuel wrote: Great collection, I've never seen that many blockmen in one place.

Re: Any Diaclone/G1 Transformers collectors out there? Yes and the brown case with small section also is filled with Taiwan bootleg Gashapon toy versions. I don't have any blue figures though if you have any spares let me know. I could trade a different color. Where did you find the bootlegs? Prometheum5 wrote: Is that mini blockman a boot?

Re: Any Diaclone/G1 Transformers collectors out there? Oh, got you, sorry I misunderstood. Yes the case is all boots except for the full size one in the second row. That is a fully jointed blockman custom that Matt Doughty made for me as a gift. It's really crazy, it even has a waist turn. If anyone is interested I'll take some better pics of that soon as well. -Adam Prometheum5 wrote: dokuroking wrote: Yes and the brown case with small section also is filled with Taiwan bootleg Gashapon toy versions.

Re: Any Diaclone/G1 Transformers collectors out there? diceone wrote: DOES ANYONE HAVE THIS!?!?! Some kind of robo 7 on the bottom? That is Microman Micro Robot 7 or "7-2-1 Formation" Box Set. It comes with M004 Eiji figure. I just won a complete and boxed set of this a few months ago. It is an incredible set, I've yet to fully explore it. I've taken some pics, I'll post some by the weekend. Here is is on Microforever : http://www.microforever.com/721formation.htm

Hell yeah! I gotta see this! Here you go. Matt is totally crazy for making this. It's a one off and is one of my favorite items especially as it was a gift from a good friend: Kept without posing it can still connect with other blockman toys like normal:  Shoulders, hips, elbows and knees are all ball jointed:   The head and the chest both have swivel:   It also can still wear the armor (not chest swivel with chestplate on though):   Detail of weathered paint:  Enjoy!
