 Since my first posting I have learned a little more about these figures: There are three different EXO HEAD characters: MM-100 Man Machine (Clear) MM-103 Andy (Blue) MM-105 IGGY (Red)  The figures have at least 1 accessory and come with internal cyborg Mecha  MAN MACHINE (Clear)  ANDY (Blue)  IGGY (Red)  A detailed rundown of the figures from all sides: www16.plala.or.jp/exohead/item/item.htmYou can learn more about the figures here: exohead.exblog.jp/www16.plala.or.jp/exohead/The creators of the toyline can be contected at this email address: info_exohead@cpost.plala.or.jp       As a heads up, SUPER7 store has a limited supply of the figures, but keep in mind, these figures were only a small run to begin with and sold out fast. Any thoughts on these new guys? - Guy |

i got an iggy on its way to me!!!
I think they are super rad toys. I'm sort of debating if i wanna get the other two or the upcoming one. The price is pretty steep, and I'm not that much for dropping money for colorways...

I love those heads! I don't know how much they cost but what's stopping me from getting them is the bodies - not poseable. But it'd be cool to stick a head on a cyborg 99 - they're 8" tall? I guess the heads would fit on shonen cyborg rather than 12" NHC or cyborg99?
WHoah - I just checked and they're all sold out! THey were 3800Y which isn't so bad I guess relative to what other things like this cost. How much was the clear skull king? I know it'll be more than I'll pay, otherwise I'd have ordered it by now.

Johnny,
Sorry to drag you into the world of "here one minute - gone the next" Japanese ultra Limited toys.
If I remember correctly, the price from the Skull Toys company was getting for the Clear Dokuro was 7000 yen + mail order costs.
Probably a bit more to Purchase from a shop, middleman, etc.

Those Man Machine figures are nice. I've been drooling over them since they came out. I actually like the blow molded bodies, reminds me of the knock-off henshins and Astro Mu 5 stuff. I didn't know the one figure came with a weapon or that they hand internal cyborg parts to them. Very nice.
If I recall, I think these are only 5 or 6 inches tall, so not even Shonen size. If these were 1/8 or 1/6 scale, I'd probably snag at least one. Who knows, I may still.

He looks like Patrick Stewart! I would pass on these, even if they were easy to obtain. As Johnny says, not enough articulation and they are all vinyl. In fact, these are an indictment of the Japanese toy marketing industry. Cheap to manufacture but knock them out in limited numbers and watch all the Cybo-completists go crazy. I'll be adding the pictures to my library, though (that costs me nothing) so thanks for posting, Guy!

These toys are a continuation of another genre of cyborg figures. The vinyl figures and Bootleg vinyl figures. I may eventually do a post covering all that, but there is a lot of that sort of thing. While not exactly my cup of tea either, it is a part of Cyborg History that I still want to make certain people know about.Little vinyls of the Invader figures, as well as
Vinyl Microman toys are actually prety cool as well.

I suppose that could be why the website referred to the helmet as the "PLEASURE DOME"?
