Thanks for the link Jaye :-D
I wasn't sure if it was complete or not..he does have two right hands :-?
:shock: My God, but, how strong are the spring loaded missile launchers on these things?
33 years later & they could still take your eye out @ 30 paces !:lol:
He's such a superb quality item, nice & heavy die cast with expensive feeling plastic components, it's a solid peice of toy engineering.

I don't know if it's an original, or which one he goes with, or to be honest if it even is a Diaclone driver :-? but he fits into Ultra Magnus perfectly :-D

It's Twiki with red limbs! At least he looks like him. The Ultimate Guide by Simon Furman never really showed too much Diaclone toys like the pilots so it's good to see one.

It's a nightmare completing Micronauts. For years now I am still missing two red missiles and one universal joint for my Karza.

That's why the eye-piercing missiles were replace later with rubber tipped ones like Megas.

The Centurions also have powerful sprung loaded weapons, it's amazing how many of us survived with 20/20 vision from our child hood with fire power of this magnitude we had @ our disposal :lol:

Another great haul T-shot. You always show things off well with great photography too.

The cloud city section of ESB has always been my favourite part of all the Star Wars movies. There's something about the colour schemes, the notion of a 'city in the clouds' and the fact that most of the action is set at dusk that really appeals to me. I know a lot of people don't like the Twin Pod Cloud Car, but I certainly do :)

Cool Cloud Car, pointless bit of trivia for you. The Palitoy version is a different shade of orange to the Kenner one. Its true, its true.

Is the Baroness eyeing up Croc as a new handbag?
