Seriously had to repeat that !

Gold does have a practical use. It's a good conductor of electricity and has been using in electronics manufacturing for a long time. That's where a lot of it goes. The computer you're using right now has gold in it.

Plus, it makes for a PIMP grill, yo.

True, but if that's completely the reason gold has value then why are the prices of electronics constantly going down to the point of things being practically being disposable.

Ahh, we could have a long boring convo about this. Let's not. But something to think about.

You're a silly goose.

And who are you? Charles Nelson Reilly?

Oh snap!

Now that is awesome Yamuel! When was that produced?

mid 70s Playmobil/Playpeople knockoff

Never saw one of these..thanks! I have one of the playmobile space trooper guys somewhere. Mine is only about 3-3 1/2 tall...same for this guy? Skull face is awesome. Nice find!

Yeah, they're about the same size. Both Playmobil and Airgam had some really cool space sets.

whoa im diggin the red ape!

k, this guy is awesome. love it. gimme.

yes plz

yes plz

Mark Nagata version:



Bit too primary for me

i like nagatas version as well. these might be my favorite troopers so far.

See, I love the colors used on this suit. It's like the good guy spacesuit (as opposed to the bad guy black spacesuits). Some may think it boring, but I'd eventually like to see some human headed figures to pit against the Space Troopers.

The red/black looks nice. But the green spray on the face looks terrible. And I'm undecided on the gold arms.

Yeah, a more...monkey-ish...head color scheme would have been cool. Then again, I haven't seen Space Monkeys, so maybe that's what they look like!

I do like the gold arms. I figure the captain gets those, and the grunts should get silver.

I agree that the colors are very primary.
But overall I like it.
The Red is nice as the armor.
I don't think he's a Captain though, he's missing the skull on the chest.

Damn your eyes, hillsy!! Don't you remember the green monkey-men who built Mechagodzilla!? Whaddaya, stoopit?

That monkey's milk, like two tits, for sure!

The Airgam fig's pretty hot, too. Does the skull glow? That would absolutely make it a must-track-down.

...

Hey, quick question about the recent totally-clear/unpainted-bodied trio: do they all have GID heads (painted or not)...or is just the unpainted head the only GID one?

I believe they all have GID heads.
The Painted ones don't shine through very well/at all.

Good to know. Thanks, Joe!
