      Congrats! I found one of those last year for a really good deal as well. I could not believe it. It is just amazing what one can find out and about. I am constantly amazed at the neat finds and cannot wait the next day to see what tomorrow brings.

      I think a lot of folks are being forced to clean out their attics/basements during these troubling time for some. Sucks for them in a way....On the other hand though it is good for the collectors/treasure hunters.
      yeah I am really stoked about this one., it has been on my wishlist for a while now. one of those toys I never had as a kid but always wanted.

        I'm a fan of Henshin Cyborg figures, and recently decided to start looking for some of their 8" UK cousins released by Denys Fisher. So far I got this Muton figure, and the Amaluk outfit (which is being worn by an LJN figure. You need to remove the hands and feet to get the boots and gloves on, so Megos can't wear these). I'd really like to get the X-Akron outfit, as I'm a fan of the Japanese robot that the outfit really depicts, Red Baron. I don't know how difficult/expensive it will be to get that and the other items I still need, but it's fun to start collecting a new line (even though I really shouldn't be!)

            Not really toys, but if you dig the Hal Foster inspired stuff in Wednesday Comics, you'll dig the art in these:

              NICE stuff Chris, it's an addictive little line isn't it?

              I never had much inclination to collect it but after doing the updates on PS, I had to get a boxed Cyborg, it's just too cool.

                Thanks, and let's just say that I'm currently in the market for an additional bookshelf, if I can find somewhere to put it.

                Very addictive, I just wish the stuff was a bit easier to find. Nice one on the boxed Cyborg. These guys have really neat box artwork, so I wouldn't mind picking up boxed ones too somewhere down the line. And I really appreciate you having a nice section on this line on PS. I've been searching, but can't find much detailed info on these guys. It looks like there was a nice site dedicated to them at one time, but it now seems to be gone.

                  About a month ago I slipped out to a toyshow and not only bought this beauty but got it from a mueum member Andrew AKA Haggis.

                    My friend Frank just offloaded me with a bunch of old Micronauts, Now I get to go thru and try to I.D. them all.

                            He'll look alot better once i put him in his jumpsuit
                            Mint figures are great but battle damaged Joes still look good on display on a bookshelf

                              Very nice Chris, and although my toy collecting days seem to be reaching their end, the cyborg line is one of the ones that I feel I need to finish.

                              and if you have questions Guyx1 is very knowledgable, as is neutronx.

                              in related news (related only because I keep them inside the same cube in my Ikea Detolf), I picked up a boxed Pulsar and a boxed Hypnos in a semi hidden ebay auction for the price of $35 combined.

                                OH, I LOVE that green alien.. He would look SUPER as a Space:1999 custom, with that head, he looks so much like that creature Maya would turn into every so often..
