HorribleFlyingObject

This is pretty much an update. I was a kid in Japan in the 80s and I was a big fan of the Kinnikuman manga. The toys were everywhere at the time, and they even made their way to the USA under the name of M.U.S.C.L.E. (Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere). These little rubber minifigures captured the imagination of young boys. To the left we have Sunshine, Ashuraman, and Sunigator (The Claw) To the right we have my versions, The Rend, Dice Kingu, and The Gleam. I made Gleam first, he is my tribute to Sunshine. Sunshine was such a cool character, he was clearly inspired by the superrobo Gold Laitan and the real life skyscraper in Japan called Sunshine 60. Sunshine was a bad guy, a massive behemoth who also had shape shifting abilities. I chose the Arch de Triumph shape of Sunshine because it's my favorite! I worked and worked to do the Claw, it just wasn't turning out the way I wanted so I put it to rest and worked on other projects. Hey sometim...

After working on the lightsaber gimmick, I wanted to do more Star Wars inspired creations. The R2D2 style Fright Droid. The Darth Vader inspired Darth Clops. Desu-Man (Death man) is a skull head. The Fright Droid comes with a removable brain piece. Darth Clops not only comes with the lightsaber gimmick arm, his eye is what I call GDR (Glitter Done Right) it simply means that the glitter is sealed on the inside and not sprinkled on the outside where it constantly keeps falling out. Desu-Man is just a plain skull head but like my other creations it's over sized compared to your standard minifigure so that it really stands out! I was definitely thinking Darth Vader when I designed this version of Desu-Man who I called Desu-Vader at the time. I improved the head design to make the skull larger and the facial features more clear to see. This Darth Clops is missing a horn but his mouth area I really liked so I kept. The head has a thin slit on the crown so you can inter...
