And this:
https://cgi.ebay.com/J-J-Dyn-O-Mite...ultDomain_0&hash=item3cb5a4434d#ht_500wt_1156

Not sure what information you need, but its a doll made in the 70's by Shindana; a company that specialized in African American toys. Its pretty tall (around 14" or so) and is a soft plush body, plastic head and fabric hat. Also a "dynomite!" is written on his front :rock

Here's mine:

Shindana also made a large all plush JJ and Rede Foxx.

what's the best vintage voltron to get? i'd like to get one with the most diecast. i don't really like the plastic.

I personally like the Matchbox voltron set that is about 12" tall (pictured in my collection). Its got a decent amount of die cast and looks pretty badass :rock

Kewl, you got the bad guys set. That is a odd BA head though, the one I have and had back in the day was darker and a bit smaller.

That bad guys set is a POS :lol

I bought them MOSC a few years back and the legs on all of them were twisting and warping in the package... not to mention the look like a $.99 store knock-off toy :lol

Do you still have your BA? I'd be curious to see the difference. I'm seriously considering upgrading to the 5" Galoob figures. I think they look a bit cooler than these... and are sculpted in their signature outfits.

I brought up Baron Karza from Micronauts in another thread and just thought I'd post here as well. I'd love to get my hands on one of these.

I freaking loved the Micronauts! My older cousin had practically the full line! I had a lot of the figures and a few vehicles. Looking back, it's strange how the line evolved from the humanoid figures and robot vehicles like Acroyear and Space Glider and Biotron to the alien type figures and vehicles.

I remember getting these originally at the same time as the SW figures, and they would all comingle.

A few years after the line died, they re-released Baron Karza and Force Commander and a few other microman figures, but the Baron was grey instead of black. I ended up getting the Grey Baron and a microman. And just recently the figures were re-released again and I got a Space Glider.

They re-released Karza recently? In black? I'd rather buy a re-release than pay 150-200 for a vintage. Do you know who was selling them, Jim?

It was a while ago, like the mid-eighties. They had them at TRU. And like I said, the Baron was grey. I have him somewhere. I'll try and dig him up and post a pic.

The most recent re-release was for the micromen like Acroyear and Space Glider and that was maybe the early 2000s.

Question galactiboy...

That 'V' figure, is it 12" inches? Is it feasible to put that on a Hot Toys body, the clothing on that 'V' figure? I may want to get a custom head for that bad boy.

I misunderstood. I thought you were saying there was another release recently.

I've seen it done, but personally I think the sleeves are a bit too short so the figures look a bit odd.

The Englund sculpt from Sideshow looks pretty good on it... I think some customs were posted using it here and over at OSW. Just not sure where and too lazy to find them for you :duff

Same here, although I thought they went for more than $100, I was thinking $300 for some reason.

I think a lot depends on if you are looking at loose, w/box, w/o box or MISB.

Hmm. I see that they did indeed re-release Baron Karza in 2002 (through Palisades), in a pack that included the horse:

There's also a clear version and a clear red version:
