OK, the seller has the accessories to these figs on a separate auction, a weird way of selling stuff.

Don't get me wrong. It is a nice lot to look at it, but you can't see the details. How much can be salvaged remains debatable. The auction does clearly state that the toys have defects: damaged, cracked, scratched and dirty, etc...
Looks like some are even missing their heads & necks entirely. If all the knees are cracked and ready to go,
where does that leave you?
The reason the accessories are sold separately is because of the massive price for postage. The seller threw in a few items to make the accessories sell able. For the most part, I'm thinking the seller is trying to unload a ton of stuff to make space and doesn't want to be stuck with a ton of unsalvageable merchandise.
I learned awhile back that Loose NHC figs tend to be pretty available in Japan, however they were generally not owned by Collectors, but were "well loved" in the worst way by (god forbid) ACTUAL CHILDREN!!!
Not sold in comic shops to collectors like ours were.
You cannot fully understand the full extent of Japanese battle damage until you have purchased LOOSE NHC figures from japan.
Loose Japanese NHC are a whole new ballgame.
You begin to realize just how spoiled we are in the Western Hemisphere.
I never imagined children playing with NHC Cyborgs, but it would appear the figures I got (besides being badly sun damaged with yellowed heads & hands) had experienced loads of play in the bath tub and the sand box.
(And you fellas thought a few factory chest cracks were bad!)
Not to mention that many of the clear joints were a permanent ORANGE due to rusted screws.
I Never imagined Japanese toys could see so much action.
I have tried to repress these experiences as much as possible.
Be forewarned...

ah, i was thinking these were being sold by a collector. Wow, to imagine kids playing with them, seems odd in a way. I wonder if the neos were marketed at kids or adults?

I think it's great if kids were playing with them - kind of obscene that all this stuff is made for us unhinged adults - but their list price was pretty steep for kids! 5800 Y I believe when they first came out! Maybe there's some really rich kids there?
I detect some racism in that ad - looks like the smoke coloured cyborgs were used as cannon fodder!

Wow, quite the pile o stuff there. Not my cup of tea, but its cool to see so many in one large photo. I'm with Guy though, hard to tell whats actually salvagable out of that.
Speaking of piles of stuff... I just got a nice large box full of goodies from Celga. I'll post pics in the next day or two.
