    I like the new figures, but I understand how someone nostalgic for the vintage line might not.

    The vintage line was not a success, though. The concept and gimmicks were outshone by the Transformers. Still, I like the charm, and design of the Robo Force, and think the license is in good hands.

      I've finally added a Nakajima Astro Mu 5 figure to my collection. You can read about them here http://www.toyboxdx.com/library/un-nakajima.html. Mines missing his gloves, boots and really unfortunately his helmet, and his crotch is broken, and he was still expensive. Hopefully some items will come up in parts lots one day. Also got the yellow walder/Muton figure from Henshin Cyborg repro line. That one I got for a steal so they kind of balance out I think. I've put some other figures in for size comparisons sake.

          Snagged this Yoda at a Toy Con NJ today. Kind of a consolation prize as it was kind of gut punch to see Mark Huckabone there and not have the available funds to pick up anything I needed from him.

              Is it just a bad photo, or is the print on the card really that fuzzy?

                    Nakajima of the Turtle mark. Any Astro Mu is a good Astro Mu. Congratulations! I have always wanted one of these figures. Great Classic Toy Line!

                        One of my all time favorite Kenners. Such a great little figure.
                        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...

                          Snagged a reasonably price Tomland Rot GID version. I'm slowly closing in on finishing the series, just needing the usual suspects now (Oov, Dral, Yick, Ah). Here's he is in comparison to the characters he's most often associated with being a knock off of Rom and a Cylon

                                i recentl;y got a captain action Dr Evil an original- the clothes are from the re-issue-but the figures original.
                                surely the best alien figure ever made-and the first supervillain figure EVER.
