Bastard. Never let me play with his cool stuff when we were young either.
Wow Matty, try to get some pics next time you visit. Space 1999 eagle that fits 12" dolls sounds awesome.

Your remembering the scale as being way bigger than it actually turned out to be reminded me of a fact about the Vinyl Paradise line I learned here earlier this year - Marmit sculpted the figures to be larger than the sofubi of the '60s and '70s so that in hand they'd make you feel like a kid again! Made me very happy to learn this.MattyBoomBatty wrote:Deadbone wrote:MattyBoomBatty wrote:My 40 yr old brother has a giant Battlestar Galactica launcher that fires five inch vipers at foam Cylon Raiders MIB that he never lets see the light off day and he has a Space 1999 EAGLE for the 12" dolls that the box alone is bigger than my 4 year old and although I've never seen it out of its box I bet that thing is HOOOOGE!
