To continue the discussion started in the micro cyborg force thread: You guys are going to *love* this. This is a guy who makes his own micromans, using the casting process I was talking about. I understand nothing of this, but it's very entertaining! www.ceres.dti.ne.jp/%7Eaj23/toy.htmANd hypnotator yes I've already checked out your collection photos, that's how I found about about this board doing an image seach. Madness! I wish I had all that stuff! I like getting them one at a time over a long period though because it's too much to process if I get too many at once. It's alot of fun to play with my 5 year old daughter too! SHe loves this stuff. An excuse for this habit! I have no shelves though, there's just crawling all around the appartment, fighting off acroyears - actually I hate acroyears, I only hae one from the birth of acroyear set, which I got for the green m10x. My daughter pretends he's Konky from Pee-Wee's PLayhouse and he doles out the secret word. I haven't been into toys since I was a kid, just got into them recently because a guy in my band wrote a song about Micronauts, so I looked them up on ebay. Just got into the cyborgs as well.

One at a time over a long period – that’s how I collected most of them. I’ve been collecting since I was seventeen and now I’m thirty-eight. It’s nice to hear when people envy my collection; I’m pretty green about a few other people on the board, in a nice way, of course. I’m jealous of your Birth of Acroyear set; I tried to get all the colours because I love Acroyear, but this and the watch set have evaded me so far. I do have a green Time Traveller, though, an Interchangeables Cosmo Man.
I have kids but they only get to touch my toys under strict supervision, and they know to be very careful. I used to have a couple of spare Force Commanders and we played fist firing fights, but I sold them on. Aren’t I an old fuddy-duddy!

Hey hypnotator, Fuddy duddy? I'd say your an inspiration. I just learned about the Microman via shopping for my oldest son. I bought a set for us to try out and now I'm hooked!

Shucks, Micropop! Welcome, by the way. I took my kids to see Toy Story 2 and I loved the premise that toys want to be played with, not stuck in a glass case or left in the box. If this is so, then I am guilty of torturing my little friends. They must feel like sardines in there. Maybe one day they'll gang up on me with scalpels like the little Herbert Lom doll in "Asylum".
