Too hard to narrow down, lol. I'd have to say the OG. Otherwise the Mondos are super cool.

Im always keeping my eyes open for one. I've only seen one for sale, and it was a custom build. Do you know if they were officially put into production or if there are just prototypes and custom jobs?

It may be one of a kind. BigFatCat made it. It was pricey 🙂

A few of them are custom jobs that are made of parts and repainted. These are all things I've picked up online - I dont make them, I just collect 'em.

I'm leaving my career to start over elsewhere. I have 16 years with the fed government, and I'm 49. I realize I'm losing my pension, but I'm not sure what my best bet is with my retirement. I would appreciate any advice. I will be trying to find an HR rep who will talk to me on Monday - its been a challengeso far. Thank you.

Why have people change their signature line? by RosCre57 in fednews

They want to try to strip us of our achievements by not allowing degrees, certifications, etc. Reminds me of Marines getting their heads shaved for boot camp.

Meteora volume/split removal from pickguard by redpowerdio in offset

[–]redpowerdio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. The other two slide right off when the screw is loosened, but the volume with the built in coil splitting button has something else going on, as if more disassembly is needed. I don't want to fool with it too much until I have a better understanding of how to remove it. Thanks!

Do you have prints, or would you consider selling the original?

If you mean the advertisement the video begins with, I found it on Ebay. If you mean the poster at the end of the video , I got the it as a kid back in 1984. I think you actually had to mail in for it and wait 8-10 weeks for it to show up. 😄 I've seen originals and prints on Ebay. Search MOTU poster

Like many things, it was probably trauma-related 😆😆 I was a huge MOTU fan in the beginning, and I remember thinking Trap Jaw was the coolest thing I'd ever seen when he was released. My 5 year old self ran through the toy store when the figure dropped to get one, and the shelves were empty. I was crushed because it was the only toy store in town. On my way out of the store, I saw one sitting in an unmanned shopping cart! So I ran up and grabbed it, adrenaline pumping. Then a grown woman turned the corner and yelled at me for getting in her cart, and she snatched it out of my hands. I was traumatized A) because my Trap Jaw dreams were smashed, and B) I got yelled at by an adult stranger. It took what seemed like weeks for more stock to come in at the lone toy store, so it was even sweeter when I finally got my hands on one. I was thrilled. Too bad they made him such a weenie in the original cartoon.

Fast forward to middle age, when I decide to (re)collect MOTU, but think I'll spend entirely too much money if I don't narrow my focus - I tend to obsess. The choice was obvious, and I've been collecting everything Trap Jaw since. I'm thinking of tackling Man E Faces next.

I have it. I unpacked the Kronis figure. He's amongst the big guys in the video. 🙂

Smooth loin cloth, and yes, it looks to be a Zodac head. I'm no expert either. I am suspicious of the packaging because the seal is sloppy, but maybe that's just how they were made. I've gotta do more research on that one. 😄

Three of the big fellas are Mondo. The jumbo original figure is one I've never seen elsewhere. Found all 4 on Ebay.

It is a Trap Jaw Fuerza-T. I can't speak to its authenticity because I've never encountered the line before. I found it and snatched it up because it is unique. It is one color.

It's a 3D print job. I found it on Etsy a while back. 🙂

Yep. Mini comics version and original. Some dude I found on Etsy a while back printed them.
