Mars Attackian Martians?
« on: 27 March 2009, 10:29:02 AM »
Does anybody know if anybody makes martians that resembles those in Mars Attacks?

Being extremely lazy (not!) I want martians that I can use both for VSF and future warfare.

Those are right in the eye! Great saucer too? Homegrown or prefab?

Thanks a bunch!

Does GZG have a US distributor?  Maybe one with decent photos?I would like to buy some of their figs, but they are a bit hit or miss and I won't spend the cash on something I can't see. 
This is my boomstick!

Not as far as I know. Eureka sell their stuff in Australia, might be worth checking their site

You sure? As it is a Made in China toy I got here at home, though that pic has the addition of some extra plasticcard and a few legs. Surely they would not sell something like that?

Hmm, odd, bit fishy of them to resincast a toy and make a few additions to it.

 :-[ I wish I knew. They fold open to reveal consoles and room for a little 15mm scaled alien figure. I've seen one resembling a Frankensteins head that folds open showing a laboratory and a dungeon area, and I remember seeing these in Christmas catalogues years ago (as in possibly last century) as there are several types of these. Nowadays I find them on occasion on flea markets aimed at toys or for children, but very rarely.

So sorry mate, can't help you  :?
