    Henshin Cyborgs question

    Can anyone give me any details on the Henshin Cyborgs? Were they made by Takara or was that a diff line?

    Are they all 12 inch?

    I came across some really cool outfits for them but didn't know if there was more than one line.

    there are two different scales for the cyborgs.

    The ones you are talking about are 12"

    There was another line made by Denys Fisher with Cyborg, Muton, and Android that are 8"

      Thanks- I had a funny feeling there were at least 2 diff scales- I think the one I'm most keen on is the Denys.

        I am quite fond of the DF line.

        Brian has a good section on them on his plaid stallion site.

          Arrrgggh!!

          Another pricey line I have to add to my IMUSTHAVETHEMALL list!!

          Is there a sort of modern version of these with the Takara Henshin? A basic Cyborg body and lots of different outfits?

            I have the 8" Muton. Bought it in the late 70s in Dover, England. He still has a set of human hands, and his mutant hands (one of which is a three-headed snake).
            He never had any clothes. Must have been a child of the 60s...

              I would stick with the DF. If you hunt further, you will find LOTS more in the Henshin 12" arena. And then you will start looking into the Medicom RAH items.....
