Well, they aren't cyborgs, but theyes some cyborgs in the background! Not much new in cyborg world, but I have been picking up other figures. Finally borrowed a camera and took some pics. Unfortunately it was indoor lighting, but oh well. I do have an awesome new borg on the way.. a custom black KWII Walder! $23 including commission! There was also a black cyborg99 a la android A, but someone else won it. Plus there was a pink neo cybork, but I missed it. I think it went for $5!  "Incident at Fartpoint" Too bad the photo isn't great. The sculpture of Janeway and the old Japanese man and snoop are fantastic.  Check it out - "Wicked Wives" from a japanese TV show. They come complete with purses and Uzis.  This is an "obitsu body"  Here he is about to snag some blue meat for lunch.   That's a clear G.I.Joe on Sisko's left. He's "Ensign WHite"  Sisko: Dismissed, white boy!   Here's one of my favourite figures, but you can't really see how cool he looks in this picture. It's a mix of the black dokoro king and the red walder.  "THese readings are highly unusual..." |

Forgot this one - I can't tell if Satan King is their prisoner or their Lord!  |

Ah, Johnny… a couple of boiled eggs, the music of Lee Hazlewood and some new toy pics from Johnny… my grasse matinee is complete.
Three PPFMs… I’m jealous! My first one is on the way, though. I dearly wanted the one with the CND tee shirt (I’m just an old hippy at heart) but it’s number four I’m getting, with the leather coat, which doesn’t wear well with my vegetarian principles.
I saw that pink Neo. Wish I had time for customising projects myself, but the next photostory and a half painted phororacus take precedence.
Hasn’t Hitler demoted that non-Aryan deputy of his yet?
I didn’t know they had done a figure of the green girl from “The Cage”. Do they do a Pike figure? This was the pinnacle of Star Trek; it all went downhill from there on…
Is that a vintage Satan king or a butchered vinyl figure?

There is a Pike figure, but not from this line (Art Asylum) which is a really great line. You can get a 12" or 9" Pike from Playmates. You'll find them on ebay for $5-10 or so (they used to be $25-50 or more!)
Those are good sculptures, from the same line as the Janeway and Picard that I have, but the problem is their bodies are highly inarticulate. To make them worth anything you have to buy "Soldiers of the World" bodies and stick their heads on them.
As for the PPFMs, I really got lucky. During the summer a few sellers kept having several of each for 1000 Yen (about $10) and I got them for about $23 each! Now they seem to have disappeared again. For about a month there were tons of them flying around. The leather jacket one is quite cool, you'll appreciate it certainly.
The Satan King is a vynil surgery. From what I can tell the Satan King Vynl looks exactly like the original except forit doesn't have those slits in the boots and back of the head.I don't have a single vintage anything.
Did anyone see "Kingdom of Heaven" a tolerably decent film. The knight on the right is a direct ripoff - it's orlando bloom. i don't understand how they don't get sued (the guy on the left is Sean Connery) they aren't licensed or anything.
The Blue monkey IS the true Aryan. Hitler was just a puppet for the purple primates!
What's a phororacus? When is your new story going to hit the screens??

Oops - I just got censored! Apparently lots of complaints about nazis. Understandable I guess, but oh well. Anyways, here are some cropped photos with just the Japanese women from "Wicked Wives"   |

Wow! I'd been wanting that Picard for a while now. I used to have the large Data and LaForge from Generations, but they got lost in a move several years back. I still miss them lots.
Incidentally, I love your poses. Kirk and the Orion Slave Girl have got to be my favorites there!

Thanks - you can find picard on ebay. I got him for $17 plus shipping. LaForge and Data you can often get for $5-10! I got them for about that. The wicked Wives look even more real in person. The photos are bad. I'll try to retouch them or take better ones and post. Here's Geordi and Data maintaining the tri-lithium matrix nodes on my printer. Wish I could find a visor for Geordi though.  Geordi: "now if I could just jam this electric stick thingy into this socket, maybe that'll do something.." Data: "Tetris!" |

It’s a shame your picture got censored; mind you it adds to your street cred in my opinion. I’m subversive minded enough to be proud of my censored comments here on RJ (full transcripts available on request). You should have photographed the disclaimer on Hitler’s box and posted it to mitigate yourself. Hitler was bad but surely Satan is badder, being the personification of all evil and that. I didn’t mean it administrator! Please don’t censor the Satan King too!
I was going to save this page once a few comments had built up. Now I feel it is incomplete. Will you email me the missing pic please? (I’ll PM you.)
I recently picked up a five inch Talosian Keeper figure. I didn’t even know he existed ‘til I saw him there at the toy fair. Hardly articulated at all, but he’s a nice reminder of ST at its very best. Of course a truly articulated figure of this character would include a rippling temples feature.
Phororacus is also known as the Giant Bird from Aurora’s Prehistoric Scenes series. A mean ostrich.

Just as I'm about to put up more photos, I see Hypno's AMAZING PPFM photos! Yes!! Anyways, here's stuff I've had for awhile but haven't had time to photograph and post. HUsing the crappy camera again, had to give back the nice one.  Every Man Must Bear His Cross  Hagning out at Spy Mag Rock  Attila on the lookout...  *Fffffffffft!* cough, chough I got this snoop, plus another snoop for five bucks each, plus $7 shipping, but the seller screwed u p and I got them both for $11 including shipping. I contacted the to correct the mistake, but they said don't worry about it! THe blunt I made myself. THe comic in the back Clock, features Benny, a cartoon about a guy who gets as emessed up as possible at parties and then encouraged by cheering onlookers and partygoes, does some crazy stunt like jumping out a window or barfing. |

 After Enterprise got cancelled, the crew had to resort to insurance sales...  "That better not be another f**kin' salesman!" Military force was $3 each at hlj  "Stealth Camo" with X-Ray vision  Lava Planet of "Raba Puraneto"  Tekuno Wabe Military force is cool, as you have all these strange pieces that you can stick in all kinds of weird combinations. My only complain is that there aren't enough cool pieces. |

Just got my Black Custom KWII in the mail! THe dye job is really professional. My only complain is that his body is too dark and not translucent enough in the chest, though it looks great being almost opaque black. Unfortunately I don't have the good camera     Plus here's a picture of the X-BOrg Spectre which I've had for a long time, but just took a photo of.  |

Is the black walder a transparent paint job? I saw a site about how to do this, and it said the forearms and feet were the bits that didn't come apart, hence would need to be painted on the outside. Did he start out purple or aquamarine?
Magma's pose is as defiant as his appendage is deformed.

Yes, he is transparent, (you can see it in the photo where he's against the light) but not enough, so that in normal light he loooks opaque black. he looks very cool weaking the Dokoro suit. Yes it's an outside paint job, but it looks absolutely perfect. My guess about the body is that it started out as a Cyborg 99 body, with walder guts transpalanted in and a painted head limited edition clear head. Incidentally the alie nchicken head was also painted yellow and metallic blue. Very pro all the way, you'd never guess any of it was custom.

Dans ma maison, un vaporisateur, c'est pour fumer! Toujours casse!
So that black KW represents a Cyborg 99 figure, plus an exclusive clear head, plus a KW2 figure for the guts. Your seller made a loss here, I expect.
Nice to see you got your BxH Dokuroking.

I *think* that's what he's made of. Might just be a blue KWII. Either way he made a loss, I paidless than $20 for it! I got the BxH a while back while people were selling them every three days starting for 1000Y. I think I ended up getting it for 7000 or so. It ended upcosting me alot with the commissions.
You smoke a vaporizer? Je ne comprends pas! Qu'est-ce qu'un vaporizateur si non une bouteille d'eau de toilette ou de parfum? Est-ce pour fumer du crack? (or should I say "craque"?)

This weekend I attended the memorabilia event in Birmingham, which is basically the biggest toy fair in this small and toy deprived country. No exciting Henshin Cyborgs or even Soul of Chogokin were apparent. A few British Cyborgs for top whack. But the money one takes tends to burn through one’s pockets and one comes home with stuff one otherwise would possibly not have bothered with.  Everyone had sold out of the green Slave Girl but I picked up this Gorn. He poses much nicer than most of these halfway-between-an-action-figure-and-a-statue figures. I’d rather go for a full-on model kit and paint it myself, or a fully poseable figure, than the stuff they churn out these days. Christ, half of them don’t even bend at the knees! The legacy of Star Wars figures. But the Gorn is nice. Turned a corner and saw him two quid cheaper.  The lion’s share of the dosh went on this nice heavy metal Gigan. I looked at him in the box but I didn’t realise the only hands he had were these enormous claws or the even bigger chainsaw attachments. He was all in bits.  Couple of other bits and bobs. Didn’t get the Galactic Warrior there, just the nice chestplate. I wanted different designs one each of my three GWs, and I’ve always liked the “shield” design best. It was on a completely dilapidated Time Traveller, and I really had to haggle with the old witch, who seemed to resent us all because her bloke had left her to mind the stall and hadn’t priced it all up. The Dalek is, I believe, a Rolykins. The Cyberman is a solid statue and isn’t even metal but painted plastic. I also picked up some nice costumes for my HCs, but I’m afraid I’m keeping them under wraps for the moment. |
