$5 for a complete? I would have grabbed it. Does that one transform?

It's based on the Transformer Jr, so it has a very simplified transformation; I believe the head comes off and it converts to the battleship/starship mode. I think it also has a gun.

Would you like me to grab one the next time I see it?

I would pay $5 for a complete one of what I have. But that one sounds different. Mine is full of opening hatches and ramps. And seems capable of transforming the same way the full sized one does, not that I have a real one to check.

Check the pics here and see if the one you're talking about looks the same:

The red berzerk tyrann looks incredible, the sturm parts seem a bit bulky to me.

I just picked up this oversized ko requiem blaster (minicon space team):

there are two bots per card, the 4th bot I acquired is part of the skyboom shield (pictured with the authentic TF counterpart):

The cardback shows the other parts of the skyboom being available. The store I was in did not have them, but I'm on the lookout.

My latest find, (I borrowed the picture from the seller I bought it from since it hasn't arrived). I am stoked to get this... Can't wait! Will go well with my Robot Masters KO of the same fig. I distorted the sellers website to not violate forum rules.

He (they?) can't get here soon enough!

On another note, does anyone know if there is a Lio to go with him for the combined mode?

I'm glad to see Raynos arrived safely. 8)

A toy show? That sounds like fun. :)
Nice finds!

Here are my latest second hand store finds:
Earth Force, Sectuars, MOTU figures and some misc. parts.
Does anyone know who or what the green lizard figure is?

Image

MOTU Castle Grayskull with box. Unfortunately it didn't have any accessories.

Lizard guy is either galaxy defender or galaxy fighter. Wait, given his neon green color, he's probably Turly Gang.

I might have a couple grayskull bits. Are you after just the hand weapons or other parts as well?

Wow Minerva! That Scare-Glow is probably a $50 find... he looks pretty minty. Too bad there were no weapons for him.

Thanks guys! :D

@ captainamerica - I looked up Galaxy Defenders and and Galaxy Fighters, but I couldn't find him there. What's Turly Gang? I haven't heard of that before.

@ Banzai-Tron - Woah! I didn't realize he costs that much! It is too bad about the weapon (or lack thereof), but I'm glad I did find the figure. :)

He's got the cape, so that's good... if he's as minty as he appears, he might be in the $60-65 neighborhood, even.

If you can go back to where you got him, scrounge around for his green halberd and see if it's there.... that sucker alone is $20-30.

As for the "Turly Gang", Cap might know more, but as far as I know:

1) They were a KO line of BOTH the TMNT and He-Man.
2) They were made by Sungold.
3) They seem to have been primarily (exclusively?) available in non-US domains.
4) Very little else is known about them, stateside. The vast majority of discussion regarding them seems to be in German.

When I got started on eBay stuff and such, MOTU stuff was more expensive than it is nowadays, and a Scare Glow was nearly twice what BT said, being complete. It's still, one of the hardest to find MOTU figures IMO.

I'm no expert, but everything BT said was accurate.

1a) They use the galaxy warrior/galaxy defender/ galaxy hero/Defender of the planets/etc style bodies -and- accessories (but in much wilder colors). The heroes have TMNT-like heads or a lizard with a spiky fin and similar goofy grin, the villains can be like yours or other lizard/dinosaur types, and a couple more humanoids.
3a) Playmates successfully stopped them from being distributed in the US.

If not Turly Gang, he's certainly from one of the above mentioned He-man KO lines.

Oh yeah, Minerva, the Skeletor you have is wearing the wrong gear; he's actually Dragon Blast Skeletor (you can tell by the green on his face). I might part of the right gear for him somewhere.

And Scare Glow is worth that much ($50); much higher if he had his weapon. He's from the same tail-end assortment as the Buzzsaw Hordak and Clamp Champ I grabbed but has the added virtue of being an extremely awesome glow-in-the dark (and muscle bound?) skeleton.

Thanks for the info, everyone!

@ captainamerica - That's Dragon Blast Skeletor? I had no idea! What's the difference between a 'regular' Skeletor and a Dragon Blast? I thought they both had green on their faces.

The shades of green and yellow are different. Dragon Blast's colors are closer to terror claws Skeletor's. The colors are bolder, regular skele's are paler. And I do have his armor (both halves plus the Dragon's head).

I didn't know that. Thanks for the explanation! :)
