    OMG!
    I'm feeling pretty gobsmacked right now!
    Didn't think there was a single Knockoff you had not documented Neuteron!

    The Tim Mee playsets came packaged several ways. THe Boxed deluxe set is cool, but I love the "Ice Cream" bucket styled set with artwork of the characters all around it.

    Man, I have been wasting my time on all these SUPERHRO mego customs...
    I really should get The TIM MEE Alien heads upsized even more, so they could fit MEGO customs!!! DO you think people could make light sabers & space rifles for them?

    Great catch. It all kinda goes together. Zeroids, Tim Mee, Gaytoys, Britains, Tomland, Airgam, Atlantic Galaxy, the Fisher Price adventure people. The more weird space toylines you collect, the more you will groove on the tributes.

    I have seen blog posts by designers of the modern Japanese tribute toys that Showed the Tootsie toy Alien Robot monster, as well as various Fisher price space figs.
    The domed space men were made by a company named Toygraph. Often their colors will correspond to specific early 1980's figures. There were many different heads which appear to resemble Exocist's Cap'nHowdy, They Live, Apes, Mars attacks ,Bobo the owl, and the Lost in Space robot. Heads often Glow in the dark or are painted clear with LEDS inside.
    I believe there were 30 different releases total. I don't think that counts the PLATOON multipack.



    There are also Flying saucer vehicles for the figures.


    As far as zeroids, I could only afford the stripped down reissues. Though I' love the rubbery knockoffs tributes from the time Starwars was first released. I'll take a photo.

    Note these are the upsized verions of the Timmee figures. Not the little armymen. They also upsized the x-wing knockoff (which is on a lower shelf)

    I also have the boxed tara toys space playset. Much of the collection is pretty chaotic and packed away though since I had the flood last year.

    The TARA TOYS playset as well as the SPACE CASES always Tomland.





    Namely because they were SPACE oriented, but not exactly starwars...
    Just like Tomland.

    Funny, I display mine 3 3/4 Tomlands in front, 8" tomlands in middle and 12" Sideshow Outer Limits/Twilight Zone figures in the back.
    I like the juxtapoz of Tomlands vintage dollar store blow mold plastic bodies with Sideshows extremely well sculpted resin bodies.

    The Tomlands were very influential to the Japanese fanbase of the 1990's who would one day become the driving force behind the modern cyborg suits.

    I imagined that he might like to hold a bag,so I made one for him
    Now that GRAND is on the way,I hope to add(in a near future)ZHOR-YOG and COTH...I dig those more than the others and they'll suit my Star Trek TOS megos creatures well:
