Hello Rednecktex,
The purple one in the middle is a UK Muton and the clear one on the right is UK Cyborg. Note that Muton’s head is smaller than his Walder Junior cousins. The Japanese Shonen Cyborg on the left appears to be vintage from the weapons and the discolouration of the head and hands. The weapons were also released in the UK as they fit UK Cyborg.
Actually, $250 may seem a lot for a few plastic figures, but the British ones alone can fetch up to £100 each in the UK.
Hippy

They went for 60,000 yen!  Old Karza90 aka miniman aka clay bought them. I bet he is going to sell them to some guy named Jonathan for $1200! ;D |

Is that the link to yahoo japan that everyone's been talking about?
I finally received my Turn A Gundam.
It was broken in transit - I'm not buying anymore Bandai things because they always break. They're too fragile.
At least I can throw my cyborgs around the room and bounce them off the walls.

Crikey, Spymagician, I’m gutted for you. What bit was broken? He’s pretty intricate so that makes him fragile I suppose. Can he be glued for display?
Yes, that’s the link we’re all talking about. Drink it in with your eyes!
I had a bit of a nightmare with the Hero Collection Chogokin figures. I saw them in Forbidden Planet, London just after spending rather a lot of money. I was working in Bristol at the time so I checked out Bristol FP when I could afford it, and was pleasantly surprised to find such exciting toys so local to me. £30 each, four figures, the guy gave me 10% off so £108. Same evening, Dragun fell off the record player where I had temporarily placed him (shouldn’t have stood him so near the edge) leg broke off. Outer parts all metal but inner armature plastic, bound to break. Shelled out £30 for another. Couple of months later, all of them reduced to £10 or £15. One has to be philosophical and say, oh well, it’s only money. Grrrrr.
Don’t bounce your Cyborgs off the walls….please!
Hippy
