Glad u called em suits this time Lawrence
Suit just arent that popular - while teh market for most of the toys we like is alaredy limited - this is an even smaller niche. Some made to order runs of existing suits would be nice tho.

I've actually been thinking of some ideas for a 12 inch suit and Contemplating trying to make one myself. But like its been said, there isn't much interest left. I'm trying to look into production in rotocast resin right now, as an affordable option. If it seems like it will work, I might get to work on sculpting one soon.

I've executed an idea but that's lame 'business strategy' anyway & I'm here for the preservation & betterment of toys.
Also, I picked up a supposed "70s" DK mask today for $10 from some random site I found doing further cyborg research.
They had all of the suit parts individually & the mask was the most expensive! as well as MIB (or I dunno the proper MIB
MOC LOTR lingo attributed to barbie outfits) accessories for $25.
I'm still confused by it & think I most likely got a repro & theyre either liars or clueless but most likely liars bc if u know about this stuff
ur not a casual passer by selling ur dead grandson's toys on ebay.
I thought visible innards was the OG cyborg BB but I just found The Chest Engine?! wow. it gets better & better

I actually thought about a vinyl body that was chopped at the head arms legs feet and hands and making a ton of heads and hands and feet and chest pieces and just having a mix and match system. But it would just be so expensive and time consuming to produce a vinyl figure with that much articulation and part options, I'm too intimidated to attempt it. In my mind the real head adults and frenzy figures are Coming close to having that multiple part system, they're missing the availability for interchangable legs and feet, but they're just not fully utilizing that function only selling pre assembled painted figures. But of course both have a distinct non henshin/Walder vibe. Where as exohead to me was more neo-suited henshin in appearance.
