    The pins are rivets, so that is a bit trickier. And I am pretty sure they are aluminum, or maybe the early ones. I haven't fixed any arm joints myself. But as for the o-rings, you can probably just find some at a local hardware or parts store. They are a pretty standard size, but try and get one that has suitable flexibility so you aren't putting too much strain on the plastic.

    Noooo, but Thanks for tryin, Ultrakaiju! These were MUCH cooler than that, w' "Mad Ball" type graphics, if I'm remembering them correctly.

    The shape is more like a turtle shell or German half helmet.

    ^ Thanks ! I really should fix em up. It wouldn't cost that much, and they have sentimental value too....it would be nice to have them standing again : )

    Heh...I remember one time getting Lady Jaye in a big group-trade. So naturally, I did some fucked up Dr. Mindbender-type experiments where I transplanted her boobs onto Cobra troopers & such.

    Good times...good times...

    ^^ Yep. As someone with an older brother, I was the one who always got stuck with the lady figures. I was young and naive, but I had a inkling of how much that sucked. As if there isn't enough to be jealous of your big siblings with - he always got the best toys too!

    How this happened I still have not figured out.

    Found this Toxic Crusader in a charity shop the other day for 50p. He's missing the accessories but I'm not too bothered.

    I'd never seen this toy-line before . . . the sculpt is great . . . i will have to keep an eye out for more!

    A bootleg...of the Toxic Avenger. Huh. That seems extraordinarily fitting, I'd say!

    ^^^^ Sorry. I don't like figures attached to platforms no matter how well they are sculpted.

    It just looks all McFalrane to me, not that its a bad thing.
    It "looks" detailed and good and kind of busy, but it doesn't make me "feel" anything.

    I went to Wondercon and bought 2 things, this giant bootleg He-Man and a Magilla Gorilla hand puppet.

    This guy is about the same size as an Ollie, and a head taller than a Pollen Kaiser. I'm going to have some epic battles once he figures out how to hold his sword correctly.

    I'm tempted to find someone who can remold this guy in rotocast resin.

    That guy is pretty epic David, and I would have the exact same reaction as you. Big vinyl dudes just make me want to battle them even more!

    I am just guessing that these are from Mexico? This stuff has me more excited that most else I have heard about the show.

    More WonderCon bootleg gems please!! :D
