Excellent! I would love to see how it turns out.
Currently I am working on reproducing the large red missiles for Daimos in a rotary cast, completely hollow version which will more closely approximate the original pieces in weight and flexibility.
After that, I start the next molds for the Daimos wrist cuffs.

I made a mold for those Diamos missiles & casted up some for both my Mattle & Popy Diamos. The hardest part is to find the right resin to cast them hollow & so they don't shatter all over the place when you shoot them!

I think that I have a solution to that problem.
I'll know tomorrow once the 2nd half of the mold has cured.

Thanks for sharing those pictures. I have the sword of the Godsigma but can't take picture of it this week as I'm out of my office. Will post them later. The sword is actually really nice for that one. kitsir: That's the Daidenjin that was for sale not long ago. I think that the only reason why I didn't bid on it was that he was missing the little red wings on the legs. But I will surely fight hard for the next one. |

Finally had time to take picture of Godsigma and his sword. What is interesting with that one is that it might be the more "medieval" sword of all the JM that have one.  |

It is definitely more ornate than the other Popy swords.

Not to hijack, but does the Gardian JM not come with a sword?

Wow Mike,
finally I have some closed up pics of your collection.
That is more than 10,000 euros worth of plastic in that picture.
All are pieces of JM that is almost impossible for me to own in today's price. Thanks for sharing
Best

Gordian has no sword. 4 missiles and a pilot figure.

So it comes with the nose cone to transform it into the spaceship like the diecast toy?!?! That is too cool! What a great looking Jumbo. |

mike: My friend can repro that 2 red wings. So I will also fight hard for the next one without red wings.

Well, I wouldn't mind getting one with the red wings missing either, but certainly not for the price your friend have pay his. For that price I'm expecting it to be complete, loose but complete. Here's another picture with some Robot Factory love. Unfortunately my Gordian is missing some stickers and the two missile launcher, but even like that it's still one of my favorite Jumbo. I remember that I had a real crush on it the very first time I saw it in real. He's just not like any other Jumbo.  And while I'm posting picture, here's a special one for DOE. Some Villains love, a bit out of topic, and it's the upper part of that display case. I was not into villains a few years ago but with time it has become my favorite shelve I think.  The funny thing is that I was not into the Robot Factory also a few years ago. And now I'm desperate to complete the team. |

That villains shelf is so insanely beautiful.
The robot factories are great representations of the characters but I still love the original lineup the most.The humanoid characters have really grown on me over the years especially the Ultramen.
That being said I'd still love to finish off the group but I'll settle for BFJ and Gordian for now.

Hi Mike,
thanks for the pics. I was never into the villians apart from Q9 and M2 and Lenzari which i love the designs. After seeing your villian shelf, then i realise the Jaguar and Kingdan is also very nice. I am now inspired by your villians shelf and hope I can slowly start to accumulate some villians. What is the one beside the Jaguar(not the k5)?
Your RF section is superb. ALL are wanted by me , especially daltanious and the gordian. Ohh yes I love the gordian pilot. I think your gordian comes with the pilot right?
best doe

Based upon the height difference as well as the differences in the paint applications between the visible BFJ and the Jumbo in the back I would venture to guess that the 2nd one is actually the UFO: Il Guerriero Dello Spazio bootleg jumbo.

Yes that's right. The second Battle Fever is the Italian bootleg. Slightly shorter and really low quality. I was lucky to find that one cheap a few years ago and it served as placebo until I was able to get the real one.
No I don't have the little pilot for my Gordian. He's far from perfect as I was saying, but I'm super glad that I was able to get it.
As for the villains next to Hasami Jaguar, it's a custom Ankoku Daishogun made by Tom Franck a few years ago. The previous owner of this one is our favorite Admin. I will post better picts if you want.
