The Attachments look quite nice on him.
I'm just waiting for Johnny Haggis to see the 2nd slideshow of Paul copeland's collection. I just noticed a certain clear walder buried in there that Johnny would most certainly drool over.

Someone left the cake out in the rain. And decorated it with barbiturates and a picture of a thalidomide baby. And I thought I was weird.
(Check out that third slideshow)

Hypno,
Okay I did post before I had a chance to see all his stuff. I’m not saying I didn’t do the occasional doubletake. There were a few pix that knocked me back a bit, but who am I to criticize.
My closest cybo-buddies have been known to occasionally take pix of mating cyborgs and create planets made of internal organs.
For some reason Cyborg tends to be kind of a fringe toyline that is loved by an ARTSY CROWD.
Those who are hardcore horror & monster collectors, as well as Japanese Kaiju fans.
This is an example of a surrealist “Paul Kaiju”
who loves toys (and has a pretty decent Cyborg collection lurking within the
Heaps of unusual stuff.)
There are some really neat Gems in there if you know what you are looking at. Again, I hope to get Johnny's take on it when he resurfaces...
- Guy

Don't get me wrong, Guy; I loved it! Thanks for posting.
My good friend and computer mentor says he is obtaining some website software, so hopefully I will soon start constructing my own website.
It will not be less weird than that cake.

Yeah, the 3rd link was pretty freaky. Is this the woman you meant?  That is Maila Nurmi , AKA "Vampira", a famous 50's TV monster movie hostess and the inspiration for the more recent Horror hostes Elvira.  |

Actually, that is not my room. Those pix are from the artist Paul COpeland (aka PAUL KAIJU)
Cut and paste those links into your web browser.
then the pictures will pop up.
it is really weird.
Never had that happen before.

OH the shark head-
Yes, the sharkman head is made by medicom.
One of those WEIRD promo releases that I guess I am kinda known for posting.
Initially Medicom released PROMO variations of the CROMAGNON heads in bags with a little flyer staring the release date of the figure.
A ton of odd promo heads came out. Many were issued without paint altogether. This head was the same as the released head except painted red instead of Blue. No body armor was made in red though that would have been really cool.
Clear variations of the Monster HEADS came out way before the Secret base suits ever existed.
The originals have a little more of a goldish tinge to them from what I can tell. Probably due to age.
At least my bear head does.
You can't give away the loose clear cyclops or shark heads anymore.
Like everything the clear heads were all worth a lot more IN THE DAY than they are now. Same with the clear skullheadjoe & the clear 12" jumpsuits.
All used to be EXCLUSIVE promo things, but Secret base put them all together! Now the clear skullhead, the clear "henshin suit" & most of the clear monster heads all can be had in one fell swoop, by purchasing the clear medicom RETRO ACTION HEROES figures.
Pretty cool to get them all at once, knowing people once paid top dollar for each bit individually : )

Glad everyone enjoyed my Flickr world!
The baby in the knickers is Mr. Cheeks. He's a 40 year ols man trapped in a baby's body.
He belongs to my girlfriend who documents his adventures.
Yes that is a Jaruselem cricket. I had him as a pet for months.I fed him carrot slices and potato. At night he would thump his abdomen on the floor of the terrarium.
His name was Bobby Mc gee.
I collect Japanese toys (since the age of 12), and resin dolls. Because they take up less room than manequins and stuffed animals. Plus they are fun to photograph.
Plus I do custom comissions for $.
Anyone else here have flickr accounts? It would be nice to start a Microman/Henshin group!

Welcome, Paulkaiju. With a cake like that, may it be your birthday every day. Hah hah! That was a project of my friends and I last Christmas. It was a "Gingerbread Ghetto". It's a new tradition. |

Paul,
I have seen some of your custom work and you are indeed a master with the airbrush!
You will notice that unlike the Super7 Forums,
People on the Robot Japan Cyborg Forum tend to be more into customizing and into taking photos of mysterious toy adventures that happen around the house. Johnny's Haggis' Cyborgs tend to be particularly randy...
Hope you enjoy posting here.
Great to have you aboard!
- Guy Redwing

I just gave this a proper look - I was too busy when they were first posted..
WHOAH
I don't know if I could say more without writing several pages.
Is there any way for one to save the pictures one sees in these slideshows? It sucks to see all that stuff and no be able to use any of it for wallpaper...

I found you could save pix if you selected them individually from the menu at the end...
