Dec 3rd came and went, but here's a taster of opening night and what will be up until the end of the month - come by and check it out!

Interested in the origins of SecretBase and why clear figures rule, want to know why Hiddy makes those suits for 12" figures, pondering where Micronauts came from, never heard of Denys Fisher....all your questions answered visually throughout December at Meltdown. Join us for the opening party on December 3rd, and ask us for a free SecretBase sticker courtesy of Hiddy!












Happy hardcore henshin fans:









Huge thanks to everyone who came along on Saturday night, Hiddy for the excellent stickers, Isaac for the amazing flyer, Nathan Cabrera for the signage and Gaston, Bob and everyone at Meltdown for humoring me all day and making sheep jokes.[/b]

Nice collection, Carl!

Do we get an update collection shot?

Whoa Carl, pretty sweet event! Too bad I had no idea what the fuck a henshin cyborg was back in 2005.

I live in L.A. and I had no clue about this, wish I could have made it!

Who dug up this relic!?! Carl, please update!!!

Some wanker.

My eyes don't want to reconect to my brains !
Thank you for sharing this with us, Carl.

who's carl?

Amazing! I find something new that I'm jealous of every time I look at the photos.

Someone should dig up the photos of the Secret Base collection event that he did at Meltdown. 2006 I think, I went and it was pretty incredible to see it all displayed.

CLASSIC!!!!!

I will never forget walking into meltdown when Carl's Secret Base Collection was on display. My friends Dave and Larry called me a couple of weeks before my visit and told me that "some of those really expensive/over-priced japanese toys you get from Span are on display at Meltdown, and there's alot of them." When was that?

Haha - mega-thanks to that wanker Mondo for unearthing this thread. Seems like so long ago. And most of this stuff is in boxes, so its great to see it again!

Battle of the Collections: Henshin Cyborg Style - late 2005 - Ramos was just hatching his Skullbrain.org plot, and that pic is teh first time we got to meet. I had heard about this local collector via Meltdown, so I got in touch with him and we chatted and we liked teh same stuff and were geeking out. Then I sent him a description of a flyer/poster for teh event. What came back was EXACTLY what I envisaged. Spot on first time. The flyer design saw teh light of day on teh first run of RFSO shirts. Gaston at Meltdown also made it into huge 3 x 4 posters. Which he gave to each of us. S7 provided some free mags and Hiddy sent a grip of SB stickers. Skull Toys also sent the pink Doku-Rocks suit PRIOR to release.

Check out teh comments fomr everyone on this thraed and teh two threads that Mark links to - Skullbrain history right there - and a time when everyone was stoked just to be chatting about this stuff. GREAT times!

oh man, I still remember way back when people wore their phones on their belts

I like Carl's scruffy Survivor look now much better

Ouch! Busted by the best dressed man on Skullbrain! Although.....werent you wearing crocs at SDCC???


mmm, dunno if approval is worse than being busted. Anyway, errr...glad u r hot for my grizz styling.. I think.

Thanks for sharing, Carl! Mind boggling awesomeness!

This is awesome!

Thanks for digging this thread back out - such great photos and collection!

I wish I still had my childhood Android with Torg outfit, I've no idea where they ended up!!
