Who will they do an action figure of next? Noam Chomsky? Einstein? I hadn't seen the Warhol figure.
Is that the Birth of Acroyear M10X?
Great stuff, Johnny.

I saw a Vincet Gallo 12" figure! it went unsold though on ebay for $55. I'd buy Chomsky for sure! My sculptor friend was talking about doing jazz musicians liek Charlie Parker and John Coltrane, but you have to license them and it gets super expensive. Highly idolatrous this whole business! Yes that's birth of acroyear m10x - I'm the opposite of you, I got it solely for the m10x as I'm not a fan of acroyears! We should have arranged a split! Got it for $35 on ebay many moons ago  Tiberius et Gaius |

I paid a bit more for my Birth of Acroyear set but I'd hate to split it. I already had a green Cosmo Man, but M10X is sufficiently different to merit keeping.
Is that a custom green Cyborg or a regular one under a green light? Is that a Satake Cyborg? Is that red head Mach Roid or Rumina Borg in negative? And does Mach Roid have an opaque head?
Aroyears rock and beat those wimpy little M10Xs with their 50s hair and glib smiles.
Warhol should have mentioned that as well as 15 minutes of fame, everyone gets an action figure made of them. I'll have to customise one of myself, complete with green glowing eyes and rainbow afro. What am I saying? I already exist as an action figure, well, a head at least.

Acroyears - feh! THe one acroyear I have is the green one, and my daughter and I pretend he's "Konky" from Pee-Wee's Playhouse! Konky could probably whup his right-angled butt!
THose photos are Rumina Borg and Mach Roid - i don't have Satake Cyborg. Bort their heads are translucent, but there's nothing in the heads to look at except a peg. Not too bright these fighting types... Hey did they used to sell Cosmo Man the UK or was that just a Canada thing?
The green head I took in "night shot" and I coloured it green afterwards. Man Hypnotator action figure - that would be priceless!
If I had an action figure of myself he'd sit on a throne above all the other ones!

My Cosmo Man was an international purchase, and I'm pretty sure none of the late Micronaut variations like the Interchangeables made it over here. I did hit puberty while the Micronauts were still selling, though. I remember seeing the Hornetroid in a supermarket and being too nervous and embarassed to even get close to it. I think the aliens got sold here around that time.
What the hell kind of series is that Warhol figure from? Do they do Dali and Picasso? Hugo Ball c/w cardboard suit?
My Hypnotator figure would have a little cloud to sit on and some thunderbolts to chuck.

The Warhols are "real action heroes" of course - duh! I wish they did Picasso and Dali! What a good idea!

That is a truly slick set of macro photography and cool lighting, there.  |

Thanks! It's fun to do this stuff! WHo needs new toys when you can just blow up the ones you have to superhuman sizes and paint them different colours like that! Not sure what you meant boogeyman! Here's a couuple more   |
