Hot Wheels Small Shots from the 70's

and dolls that I like..

Playmobil. I loved them as a kid and still do even tho they are godawful expensive for kids toys.

Expensive? Try Lego.

Up tha (playmobil) punx!

Count Duckula . . . . oh Nanny !!

because they are made in Germany as opposed to China.

Nice Jarvis pics there Spaced
And yes, Silas does rule!

count me in for some jarvis. still missing a couple of sets of in-crowd guys

I got the heroes but ended up giving them away. I grew up with the chibi art in the manuals and that's how I always pictured the main characters. The sculpts on the hero figures are just too 'Dragonball Z' for me and they look a little awkward placed next to the monsters. I am terrible about taking pics but maybe I will remember and bump this 9 months down the road or so



Quality is pretty good, especially for what you're paying. Unlike the Banpresto Mario sofubi they don't leave those weird marks when you touch the bare vinyl and they are pretty rigid. I was hugely disappointed with the Zoma metallic version and have stayed away from the metallic series. They range in size from like 3" to 8" and none of them are to scale with each other. The 1:1 slimes are about a foot in each direction.

There should be no shame in liking James Jarvis!

nice set, man
missing some pieces here and there myself.



AYE!

On the contrary no shame at all, just mentioning one of those great designers that is often associated to the kidrobot world

I won these guys for $18 on Ebay. That was ages ago and the guy sent them here to AU instead of our Ohio guy so they showed up today. STOKED! Forgot all about it. There were doubles too!
Those little white dudes are awesome for "jumbo mechanics"...in fact all these guys are great for putting all over Jumbos. I think I want all the space ones of these. I also have xray-man and xray woman. I'm missing the red/white rectangle robot and some variants.

sweet! I used to have one of those little white dudes. what are they called?

yeah I had these!! the figures weighed like a pound each... crazy fisher price.

^^^ I would say $18 was an absolute bargain for that lot. My favorite when I was a kid was the black robot at the back on the right
Here's some surviving ones I have from back in the day:

. . . . I sold a load of the vehicles (Space Shuttle etc) years ago at a boot-sale and I kinda regret it now!

never heard someone associate jarvis with kr stuff.

I love my Francheeesca...

Those white spacemen are from the Starforce line from Construx. Next to Fischer Technik, one of the all time best constructions sets you can have as a kid (or adult for that matter). Had to hare this great video:



If you are ambitious, it is how you turn this

into this

REALLY!? Oh man, I thought they must've been just the children for the fisher price guys or something. That's good news because I want more of those creepy little guys!

Sorry my bad, wrote that myself meaning 'designer toys', he actually is but imho soo much better than many others like Jeremyville and co.

Hot Wheels. I probaly have aroung 2-3 hundred still carded and another 150 or so loose.

Construx were awesome. I had the giant robot set. Only problem is the grey pieces always broke, I was way to hard on them.
