Sharkos

[joshvox]

How rare is the Sharkos vehicle? Anybody have one?

[AcroRay]

Rather rare, I think, relative to the rest of the line. They actually don't surface (- forgive the pun. Or not.) quite as regularly these days as they did a few years ago, and generally have a couple hundred dollar price tag when they do.

Personally I don't have one yet - too pricey for my cheap wallet. I also only have a woefully incomplete loose Lobstros, and a battered loose Ampzilla with one resin recast part to complete it.

I remeber walking in to Child World one day & Seeing an Empeor His horse & sharkos. I begged to be alowed to get one my parents said not tonight maybe for your birthday (Wich was like a week or two away) I never saw Micronauts at a store again after that day.

There are some pics of the Pocket Heroes being paired with Micronauts in the same vein as the Hero Shuttles. I thought Aquaman should have been paired with Sharkos...

Thanks for the info, a bit too pricey for me as well. Is that what a boxed version goes for?

A couple hundred is probably the low range for a boxed one. The Italian GiG boxed releases are more common, although in the last year or so several Mego-edition ones have popped up in Canada

Interesting to hear that they showed up at Child World (and Children's Palace?) with the Lionrock stock of Emperor and Megas.

Sharkos is a neat little design. If I had one, I'd try to make resin casts of it so people could have at least some representation of it in their collections - if not motorized or seaworthy!

I'd love to even have a repro of one...That would be great.

Gimmie a bit and I'll try to take some sharkos pix

I am surprised taht you don't have a detailed site listing the variations between the releases.

Ask Doc mego. He's reproing al lot of common stuff. Maybe he'll actually repo something rare.

[batmanmc]

Here is the Sharkos figure with his box.



Here he is compared to "some other shark figure" for size comparison.

They both used the same motor.

Guy - You've got way too many toys!

Thanks for the pics! Very nice!

[GUYx1]

Aww c'mon these toys are nothing compared to anything in Reuben's collection.

These grew on trees in my day. Of course the trees were in Japan
and arrived there via an Italian toy dealer...
