I've always hated the 5-inch vinyl bad guys. Compared to the heroes, they're just so unimaginative.
I've got a boxed Jumbo, 2 minis with helmets, Marusan Astro-Mu 5 remake figure, and 2 mini bulbous head villains. I think I've got a few more fat heads somewhere, so maybe I'll try to find them...

Thanks Flynn !!! It all goes back to that fateful day when the 1st Issue dropped....for so long they seemed so outta reach.
They truly are my all time faves!.....along with my Inazuman from back in the day.
Also a big thanks for your help/sharing of knowledge and for cutting me slack on a certain box while I chased these.....you are Thee Man.

intereting that the tekeman jumbo mini vinyls seem to sometimes fall into the astro mu line which is fine by me but then i would say you are missing a mini from a carded tekeman 2 pack . glad to hear that super 7 had an influance on your collecting el d . your collection of astro mu is amazing but unlike chad , i dig the minis the most .

 good deal there was an auction going on for this cause i didnt want to dig through my stuff to find this . guess im going to change my mind and say just because there is a conection with the tekeman minis from the jumbo and the mini atstro mu vinyls the vinyl in this tekeman set doesnt look like it fits even though it a nakajima mini .

 Re: AM-5
wow - it's been over 2 years since the last post. Have you guys found anymore? Or are you now tired of looking and want to sell some to me? I am starting with a few of Brian's "extras" I love these Mus

 Re: AM-5
I love all the Astro Mu 5 also and let me know if anyone has any they might part with. Thanks. Eldorado's photo shows an amazing amount of searching and success. I applaud his tenacity. The condition of his collection is also very nice.
