Does anybody collect or is anybody familiar with these toys? They're an obsure spin-off of an already somewhat obscure line of toys. You may be familiar with the 3 3/4" power lords (Lord Power, Shaya, Sydot,Gripptogg etc) which had a 3 issue run of comics. The "Beast Machines", not to be confused with Transformers of the same name, were made by Revell after the initial power lords line in the early 80's. 4 different characters, one he-man type, one robot type and two monster/alien types. Bottom portion of these guys is like a tank. There was a 80's movie called "The Eliminators" that had a character like this as did an x-men comic. I see maybe 4 a year on ebay, I discovered them by accident when I found one in a thriftshop. Anybody?

You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return... -
I've got a couple of the Beast Machines, the half-tank-half-man guys, they're slightly bigger than MOTU, I thought that the "regular" line of Power Lords were more in tune with 3 3/4" figures as I've seen them in some mixed lots and they seemed smaller than MOTU to me.Comment

Didn't Junes Toyfare just do a story on this line? I didn't know Wayne Barlowes pics were used to design the figures.Lo there do I see my Father.
Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
Lo they do call me.
They bid me take my place among them.

Very cool Toystalker! I picked this up loose(incomplete-missing hatch lid) about a month ago, I knew at the time that I recognised it from somewhere, but took me a couple of days to place it. A very unique design.
Do you have any of the BEAST MACHINES? they're my favorite from this line (sorta spin-off).I just won a boxed THRASH off the bay, $66 but $23 shipping.
I don't know why they're not more popular, very interesting toys.Comment
