Hello .Mecha! Here are some mechs. They're a little taller than Bionicle Toas. I was quite glad to find a use for those odd corner parts from set 6441. And these are definitely not inspired by Gundam. At all. Seriously. Uh-huh. Pictures: (URL) pics (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Um, he said 1983. He means the early years of the 1983 toy line and the first of the smaller sized Joe figures from 1983. See he said 1983. Not the dolls... but action figures, in 1983. That's what he ment. (Info taken from the Department of (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
