 Re: Toygraph Space Troopers
I guess vinyls have moved on. The toy makers are more Damien Hirst than van Gogh. I mean Hirst is able to soak a cow in formaldehyde and sell it for gezzillion dollars, whereas, van Gogh died penniless. I just wished that more of the money goes back to the creators then flippers. Then again, a significant amount of my collection comes from flippers. Its a love hate thang.

 Re: Toygraph Space Troopers
They are cool, but I ended up selling mine for retail here. I did not need to collect yet another line of toys.

I forget what the total number of sets produced but I think it was 30-50 which would put the total trooper output at 150-250. It could be done.

 Re: Toygraph Space Troopers
I think they'd look great in one solid color - no paint, naturally

 Re: Toygraph Space Troopers
That a different concept. You only need the 30-50 people to pick up each set, as opposed to having 150-250 individual toys of the same type floating around, which makes it much more unlikely to sell them all.

 Re: Toygraph Space Troopers
These are very superb looking, that purple painted has got to be the sickest out yet.

 Re: Toygraph Space Troopers
not feeling the AZ head at all...I'm a little burnt out on these already, but haven't gotten the plattoon yet in the mail...excited to see what others come up with, though these AZ versions really aren't as good as the first bunch released, IMO anyway.

 Re: Toygraph Space Troopers
I think it's cool there are different heads for them that's for sure. I really love the weird new head, and I'm happy a friend got them for me yesterday at the show. After this, I can slow down though. I've got a great display already waiting for the new boys to arrive!

 Re: Toygraph Space Troopers
These guys have always seemed very Mars Attacks to me, but the new head is even more reminiscent of the old kits down to the "ear plugs" and brain heads.
