Soundwave is superior to a cassette player (have you seen another telephatic cassette player? ;-) )

Anyway - bit more on the weapons - as I say - tridents or bazookas available, in either hard plastic (like the originals) or rubber. The plastic is like the Shadow heads, but due to the fine nature of the bazooka sights and especially the Trident they are as fragile as the originals - if not a tad more.

Hence I gave the rubber a go. They wont snap, but are very flexible, so can flop a little (can be seen in the shot where :muton: has it over his shoulder - :storm: "a bit of flopping?? - how embarassing!!!").

Be it rubber or plastic, I can do them in black, red or white (if anyone wants them in white I will be very surprised!). And whilst I was joking about grey it's just dawned on me that :moondancer2: had a grey bazooka, so I will, if anyone wants me to, experiment and see if I can get the colour right.

Price wise I'm looking for about £1 each on these - less if anyone wants to buy a batch of them. What I'd say is to PM me if you are interested, letting me know what you are after. I've not got a lot made yet - these are literally the first ones out of the moulds, but am more than happy to take orders and beaver away to get them out in the space of a week or so.

One other thing - I would ask that anyone selling Shadows on ebay or elsewhere please make it clear that they are repro weapons if ever they sell a figure with these. I am only really happy to sell them to guys on here, and wont be hawking them on ebay, so if I do get wind of people passing them off as originals on ebay I'd be most put out, and would send the boys around, and then sulk a bit.

Jobs already done Baron, and he's currently squaring up to all of G Force, as Keyop 'looked at him a bit funny'.

(DA - Japanese cartoon Gatchaman was redubbed as Battle of the Planets for the Western hemisphere - Zoltar was the baddie. So now you know, and...... [etc etc] )

Just for the avoidance of doubt - all of the weapons shown, other than the ammo box and Stormies backpack, are from my moulds.

And re the Shad heads, it is only the series 3 ones that have gone squished at the back - the RAH ones are fine (in fact, are spot on - my favourite of all of them I've made).

Merci,

For and on behalf of :storm: & :muton:

don't think it'd work with the method I'm using to be honest - items need to be solid rather than hollow and there's not enough flex it the plastic to stretch over a head. Sorry!

What about a Laser Exterminator leg and console? They's sell like hot cakes I expect!

Shadowtrak missiles?
