See the enormous size of the vintage piece. Suppose the copy is same size. A shot from Marco's exhibition in the Museum of the 20th Century, Hoorn, Netherlands in 2013.

roboz Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Nice Pic Lunik Is it my imagination or can you cut that torso of the 8 man & you have 1/2 of a diamond planet ? Hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbit Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 70$ Wow, i like that price. That's like, 5 pizzas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Hmm, I do love my humanoid robot though that Brian made. That hasn't a kids face on it though, it's a serious looking piece. I also like the rosko astronaut although it also has a human face, again, not a kids face. I remember having that space scooter with the freckled face kid on it, I recall him getting it in the neck somewhat. Bet I don't find another for £10 again!

Lunik Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Bingo, Ozzie! Can somebody check and compare dimensions, Marco? Thanks for the compliment Ozzie. On this pic, from this angle, 8 Man also does not look that much like a baseball hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Ha, Oz....now those 8 men robots will be selling like hotcakes for converting to DP bots!! Better buy them up now while you can for £70! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboz Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I know right I should have kept my mouth shut until i bought a couple lol !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kirk Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 It looks to be one rivet shorter on the bottom. Can you find us a head and a lower part on a cheap toy too? Find the insides too, while you're at it. Why isn't Jay making this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboz Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Well it's not a stretch to see whoever made the 8 man repop to add the head , arms & base for an all tin DP robot, there no major litho either other than the dial & the ears are already made for the robby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kirk Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 What are they waiting for? I don't mind it the body does end up a little squat. I'll still take one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboz Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 My guess is the body on the 8man is folded over for a lip where on the DP it's straight into the base so probably equal size , bet that river is folded over too Beside the repop has 11 or room for 11 ;- ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The 8 man 50th ann. version had only 200 makes as to the limited run which has 1000 makes. On the limited run I do like how they did the back and the ring around the heads lights up as the original one did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Good eyes Oz! Body is very similar to DP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I am starting to like 8 man,ha! I don't think the lower part of DP would be too difficult to make. His head has quite a unique shaped dome/cap/top. I will put it on my 'when I have the time list'. Need to buy a couple of 8 man bots now! Or just make the whole thing! Anyway, John and Marco are making a DP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkrobot Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 What have I started here!. Is this next big alphadrome joint custom build . Jay does sell the standard blue 8 man repro but a lot more expensive than the 70 quid I saw them for at the toy fair. BTW the next toy fair I'm selling at is in March.
