I spent two days at Melbourne’s Oz Comic Con. Much of my first day was spent hunting for new ALIEN stuff – of which there wasn’t very much.  Mind you, I documented what I did find on STUDIO YUTANI.  The following day I was my own free agent and sought more intimately through random boxes of loose toys to seek anything I could find.  Here are the results of my endeavours.  My archeological excavations unearthed these Three Stooges.

The green character on the left is Pyther, a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers villain. Cast in green with a wonderful spring loaded tongue action feature, he’s a great four inch item made by Bandai in 1994.  In the middle is another Bandai figure, the wonderfully sculpted Tamashii Nations MonsterArts ALIEN Big Chap. Third up is an Ultraforce NM-E Ultra Villain.

Neither of these items were particularly expensive so I was super happy to have acquired them.  I have previously owned the MonsterArts ALIEN figure and regretably sold it.  So I am happy to have one back in my possession once again.

Each of these wonderful pieces were discovered in the bottom of boxes I sifted through at the event.  Found in the ‘as is’ condition seen here, neither of them included any packaging or accessories.  The green Pyther and Big Chap were complete figures but the four-armed NM-E figure is missing cable-like parts from his head.

I’ve already reviewed the MonsterArts Big Chap here on HIDEOUS PLASTIC.  That was around 2 years ago; and the remaining pair of oddities will end up seeing entries listed on the page dedicated to imitation ALIEN figures.  That’s going to be a lot of fun to write up!

I had a great time at the event.  Thank you Clara Fei-Fei for the opportunity to attend.
