Cyborg Attack!

Filed under: Co. TAKARA,Toy Love — Prometheum5 @ 11:22 am

I’m going to start this Brog off by saying upfront that Henshin Cyborg used to weird me out. The clear naked guys, the chrome inner heads, and the swappable parts just made no sense to me. I thought some of the costumes were neat, but had no idea what to make of the line in general. I read about the 8″ Muton line on Super7 Magazine, and specifically say the Red Baron (X-Akron) suit from that line, and started to look a little more seriously at Henshin Cyborg. The connection to Microman intrigued me, and the modern push of things like the Secret Base vinyl suits piqued my interest enough to pick some up. After grabbing a smattering of different things of YJA, and enough Obitsu bodies to wear all the costumes, I’m hooked and looking for more! Here’s some love shots of what I’ve got so far.

Impromptu visit

Filed under: Toy Love,Warren Schwartz — Josh Fraser @ 7:00 pm

So the catalyst for these brogs was a recent last minute drive to Warren’s to help him with a few things to sell.

As luck would have it, a box arrives as I do. I document as Uncle unpacks and we hang out , taking advantage of the brief break in both our schedules to sit and enjoy some of his recent purchases.
I wander and take a few other shots of the bedroom and am amused by the toys he keeps out and about his room. Many of which would be under glass in most collections. But that is the point and the charm. He treats them as they should be. Like old friends.

Plastic and vinyl, Schwartz style

You really don’t need me to explain much. You all know the drill.

Get a drink, turn on the music, dim the lights , and look at the pretty pictures.

get ready…

Invasion: Japanese Robots from the Collection of Warren Schwartz

Organized by LSU MOA; April 13 through October 7, 2007

Invasion: Japanese Robots from the Collection of Warren Schwartz showcases more than 200 robots – about one tenth of Schwartz’s collection – produced from 1972-1982, during the peak of these action figures’ popularity.

In celebration of the annual East Coast Chogokin Summit, I thought it would be cool to showcase some more East Coast collection love…

Rescued from the forgotten depths of Warren’s digital camera.

For those of you who recall a few years ago, Warren displayed a few of his toys at the museum. He showed me the photos he had taken of it himself last week, and I thought it best to share them here.
Enjoy.
