    Anybody know what these teeny tiny Transformers go to?

    They look pretty old, very small (maybe an inch), and the metal blocks on their feet have holes under them, so for like clipping onto something.

    I know nothing about Transformers, but I've been curious about these since I got them.

        I'd never heard of Diaclone before, and I tried sifting through thousands of pages of Transformers, and gave up.

        Thanks again!!

          No expert here but I think I recall seeing Farrah's and chers with these cheap bodies packed in baggies as close outs? Also I think they might have made a cheaper version of the dolls in bathing suits using these bodies.

          I found a Farrah Fawcett doll at a garage sale and thought it was a Mego based on the head, but the body isn't right. The body is only marked Hong Kong and doesn't have jointed wrists. I've seen one other on eBay, so I don't think it's a head switch with another body. Any ideas who made this doll?


          Any help is appreciated.

            Cool find. I think yours have magnetic feet. The Diaclone Great Robot Base is one of the coolest toys you'll ever see. Check out your Pilots in action:

                I've been searching everywhere for what my wife described to me as her favorite childhood toy. I can't find anything like it and was hoping someone here might know. You would throw these wire framed shapes out and then send a shuttle with hooks down a line to pick the shapes back up. You could control the line to send the shuttle up or down it, I'm guessing the other end was secured to a tree. Any help would be great!

                    It looks like an old generic kid's halloween costume.
                    You can still by reissues of that helmet today, but the flip visor has now been removed and breathing holes have been added.

                      Anybody have any insight to this guy? It is all blow molded, weighted at the bottom, and says 'Made in Hong Kong' on the back.

                        Any idea what this Remco toy goes to? It is in bad shape, but it is driving me crazy that I can't find what it is.
