You know, from time to time strange products show up that are unknown. -E

I found these in the Bullmark mini catalogue that came with my diecast Meka Gojira. There are five sets of "lego" style constructure toys. They are plastic with moving parts and firing missiles. Relatively inexpensive ($20-$50 depending on condition). I got 2 of the five sets and had TONS of fun. Now I can't wait to complete the set...

I have long believed the Aarkrons were made by Bullmark. There are pic's of the Aark's in the Gallery. JWM

JWM. I believe that the history of Akron traced to Bullmark and a former employee. Other toy scholars may add details to that, but basically you are right. They are related.

The toys we were mentioning above were truely plastic and like legos. There are mini-figures on some of them too.

Actually I saw the DX QueenCosmos by Popy for the first time last night and was blown away!! The engineering is absolutely stunning, I would love to learn more about it! It was one of those toys you look at and say, "this is why i love this stuff".

These are not really unknown, but they do pop up occasionally on the auction block. I recently got a good score on 2 Cybot Robocchis made by POEM. Great chogo content and cool gimmicks. Check em' out.
