There are some odd test shots up right now that sound like what Roger was talking about. There are at least 2 alley viper heads on saw viper bodies with assorted arms and legs. Try a search for prototype joe, it is the same seller that has some test shot manimals up.

I saw those Manimal test shots earlier today. Is it safe to assume those are the 01 Manimal release test shots and not the 94?

I'm not really a manimal guy, TBH. I have the cheapest "set" I can, the 3 released KB ones and then 3 unreleased test shots, and I rarely look at them. They don't really appeal to me.

I got another lot of the Coil-Stalkers, these were all identical body parts, no odd Overlord bits thrown in. These are great for future Coil customs.

I also won a lot of the Crimson Baroness super cheap, and I did not realize how messed up those were from the pic. The chest is crimson Baroness, the legs are fuschia Baroness. That isn't too evident from the pics, but in person it looks silly, so these guys were a bust for me. The arms are from CGs too, something I totally missed from the pics.

I bought a COIL Stalker for $0.99. I AM a big spender, after all... :)

Good to see Mo doesn't know you squeezed a little cash off of the "Indiana Jones Army-Building Slush Fund."


Fixed that for ya, Gary. :twisted:

those Coil-Stalkers are cool as hell. I keep looking them up hoping to find them super cheap, but it looks like they are pretty locked up at about $3 per figure shipped, the guy doesn't even seem to combine shipping on those lots. That is still pretty awesome for a figure we could previously only get from the Club, and the lowest I got any for was about $8 each from the clubs "let's make a deal" pile back in 2007 or so. I am looking for a decent head, right now I am thinking about taking a head from one of my good Coil troopers, covering his eyes with some sort of goggles, and casting it in black. I don't want to have to paint eyes, but a pair of goggles or a visor I can paint gold or gray to match the rest of the figure would make this a nice little project.

Funny you should mention that, as I plan on trying to buy multiple of the SDCC IJ exclusive.
