The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Thread

I'll see your SMDM...

...and raise you BSG!

Indeed, sir - I was late to the party, but now that my eyes are opened? Easily my favorite mass produced line of the decade.
Bif Bang Pow!'s "Mego" Battlestar Galactica: Cylon

 

@toothaction Those cylons somehow don't quite push all the right buttons somehow for me (probably just not enough flashy chrome and lens flare! ) but I don't need to tell you how jealous and happy I am to see them invading a space near you.

@deafmetal You are probably right. I have not heard anything about that soundtrack, but I am immediately drawn to it. Really cool artwork and like the green vinyl. Heck, I would be so down for just an order of those Hedo patches though!

 

I feel you, pHteve.

The chrome that you seek is out there, though...

...but the absolute steal I found for the other two worked for me at the time.

The commander and his 'battle damaged' cohort are on recon for some shine!

 

The case against the plaintiff:

• Articulated girl doll, complete with cleavage and a faux-leather tunic
• A blow-molded robotic dog with a rubber antenna tail
• An enormous paper phone booth, sound effects keychain inclusive

Verdict? Maximum dorkelry achieved!

Bif Bang Pow!'s Doctor Who line - Leela, K-9 and their Tardis playset. Oy!

 

Ha, well, in terms of paper playsets, I have to say that this is a pretty high-end looking and glossy one, if ever there was, so old-made-modern achieved!

Great Gamera @doomboy, a very worthwhile pickup and one which no doubt eggceeds all eggspectactions.

 

Bif Bang Pow's Battlestar Galactica line: Boxie, the Tucana Singer and Muffit the Daggit. Yum. Welcome to the uncanny valley!

 

That threesome definitely sums up the residents of Uncanny Valley perfectly. While these particular unMegos don't quite capture the same joy for me as their plastic counterparts (admittedly taken with a heavy dose of nostalgia/childhood joy factor), more BSG is always good BSG.

 

Mr. Don Carter showed up today:



Or was it Bob Wilson?



I guess dollies sometimes show up with a change of clothes.


A good thing, as I'm absolutely certain that Mr. Wilson peed himself at 20,000 feet.

Bif Bang Pow!'s Twilight Zone William Shatner and the Mystic Seer

 

Big fan of the former episode, much as the latter is the prettier sister that gets all the attention from the boys. Contiunally making me happy with these new fellas, D. Full swing into the new hobby, not a bad way to go (even if we'll miss you around these parts). Please tell me you will make this happen soon, though.

 

Foe, family, foe.



S'more travellers.

Keep those Sideshow dollies away from me, pH, but bring that repro on!

Battlestar Galactica, BSG... Apollo, Adama, Cylon Centurian, Mego faux... from Bif Bang Pow!

 

As the man with all the answers said,



@toothaction You're right of course. Don't need myself any advanced articulated dollies, but a repro box (only working of course!) would be pretty cool to have around. But that micro version is pretty stellar by any standards!

That is a whole new wilderness for Mr. Greene. These Lost in Space toys are really great.

 

Take two:

The Past surveys his Future.

Manly men from manlier times doing manly things:





Oh, the men of today, they'll rue the the day when they turned their backs on the manly ways what was.
