I have the Daisy Defense Force Bazooka. Its AWESOME. I would totally get shot if I aimed it at a federal building. Not a spec of blaze orange on it.

cool. you should post a pic.

Who's the orange and blue guy in the middle? I swear I remember having him as a kid but have no memory of his name or what he's from.

 

[The Craw]

i didn't know they made a body for krang. i thought he just came on that tri-pod walking thingy. is that from the 80s/90s toy line?

 

[Skiman]

I love that Gizmo.

Not vintage exactly, but it's what we should have had when we were little.

And on to the vintage stuff

Why, that'd be Lord Adam Power from the Power Lords!

That's him alright! Thanks. All I could remember was that he was a normal looking dude on one side and blue on the other.

Yeah, the body was/is a sweet toy. I got it loose a couple years ago w/o the Krang. But since and already had the carded Krang (with the small walker) and just popped him in to complete the set

I love that Gizmo.

Me too... I've had him since I was 5 or so He's a bit rough looking, but I wouldn't replace for anything

You got it A pretty odd series of figures, but one I liked as a kid. The Purple guy next to him is the big bad from the series Lord Arkus.


And awesome Turtles Collection Hollyw00d, I love this shot... looks like all the foot soldiers are streaming out of Technodrome

 

[Deak Starkiller]

That is a very impressive TMNT collection there Hollywood, great display. Love the Transformers too.

 

[The Craw]

Hail Unicron.

 

[galactiboy]

I used to have the Unicron toy from a few years ago... cool figure, but ultimately too big and just a touch too modern looking for my tastes.

I think I got him on clearance from Target for around $20

 

[Skiman]

@ GBoy, I remember I had that same Gizmo around the same age, I also remember having some small type of figure that you would soak in water and they would grow to almost 1/6 scale. What the heck were those things? Strip also existed in that toy but I can't remember what the heck they were.

I had that sewer set, I remember being so happy getting that for Christmas and to ooze all the figures.

Also the pizza shooter was an awesome toy, those pizzas really zipped right out of that thing.

I have and love the Unicron figure, one of the best TF's that is not G1 but should be.

In all fairness guys that's the 2010 Transformers the Movie 1986 newly sculpted head Unicron with more of a movie accurate paint job. That's technically not the same Armada Unicron from a few years ago. I got the new one for Christmas and it's awesome.

the pizza thrower hurt like heck. there's no way that toy would pass safety standards today.

A comparison pic...

Crap, I didn't realize that was a figure... I saw the head and paint and assumed it was the statue from a few years back. That looks totally badass and everything I wanted the Armada figure to be

**Runs to eBay to see how much these cost

EDIT $200... So when/where were these sold?

 

[HollyW00d]

You can still get him at Robotkingdom.com for a fair price, but it was a limited run by Takara in Japan.

 

[sladesuperagent]

For that price, I'll keep my Armada version. I have it in planet mode and I think it's still pretty kewl.

 

[DPrime]

Oh, I totally forgot about the Mausers... It'd be fun army-building those.
