    Micronauts - Lords of Light additions!

    Scored a Nepos and a Topen. They're incomplete but in very good condition - no cracks or stress marks in the joints. Missing stuff but hey, they're in the collection now!

    - Nepos needs a gun.
    - Topen needs everything: wrist cuff, gun, shield, wings, tongue.

    Also got the buzzsaw for Toriac (who is also missing the wings).

              Very very cool....I actually have Neposes Gun...it's all I have left of the one I had when I was a kid...I'm hoping one day to get a Nepos to wield it again.

                Are you trying to be cruel?

                    Ah, no man....sorry...Just mentioned it as a matter of record. There's not much of this stuff around anymore (like I need to tell you that)...

                      A Nepos with its card, two carded Emperor Dementia variants, some Toriac bits and the sad head & torso of a Topen are the only actual production Lords of Light I have. And the prototypes:
                      AcroRay Lords of Light.jpg
                      I had a Nepos and a Toriac when I was a kid. I'd never seen the Micronaut Kronos, so the LOL version immediately struck me as a "Micronaut that never was". I also got a couple of Toriacs to scrap for Repto and Antron replacement parts. They were fun toys. It's too bad PAC Toys went under before they could release more. And the really sad thing was that PAC collapsed for reasons unrelated to their toy business.

                        I've seen those pics before and never get sick of 'em...very very cool stuff! I also had Nepos and Toriac as a kid. I felt the same way that these were just extensions to the Micro Aliens. I never got Topen because I had Lobros and he (Topen) looked real stupid by comparison (been regretting that decision ever since...). I gravitated to Nepos because Kronos was the only Alien I never had.

                          I am actively looking for some recast parts for the Topen - specifically the brain and tongue. If anyone has any leads on this please let me know.

                            Are your arms on backwards? The head of the rivets should be facing forward instead of the crush end. Have these been reworked in any way? Otherwise...VERY Nice score. :~)

                              The rivets are a hollow type; they're different than the ones you see in earlier Micronauts.
