I was rather impressed by the grammer myself.... Togo's usual lack of subltly sums it up pretty well for me

[Dat Pinche Haro!]

No, actually it was the "ain't" part that through me off. What, you didn't catch that?

It means there's a lot of people on this board who's first language is not english.

No idea what Kin's background is, but in general there's so much shoddy grammar on the forum I try to ignore it and chalk it up to people who didn't grow up with english as their primary language.

[Duke Togo]

Not only is "ain't" not a proper word, its not even properly used! That's a double whammy right there!

seems bit spendy to have a mospedia gun nacklace. Thing better shoot out lasers to be worth it.

[Druna Skass]

Hey is that "misguided missile" the AIM-26 Falcon?

[Noriko Takaya]

His gun rendering from The Black Hole is way off.

Hey guys,

Looks like this thread has been dead for a while, but thought I'd chime in anyway with my two cents.

Yeah, I know $90 sounds like a lot for a silver gun, but it's a really heavy, shiny chunk of solid sterling silver. And it costs more than you would think to get a piece like that it all nicely polished up.

And the Black Hole gun is the type carried by the sentries, not the two barrelled style the good guys use. See here for a shot of it in context. These are only $30 for the necklace or $40 for the earrings, btw. They are a lot smaller and lighter than the big gun.

The mangled part trees are actually called "sprues," btw.

And tell you what: Anyone from here who can actually identify where any weapon in the Mech collection came from get 50% off.

Later,

N.

You do know that those pistols included with the 1979/80 toys are not movie correct, right? You have it backwards, the Sentinel Robots are the ones carrying the large double barreled pistols as the good guys take them from them and use them against them, they never came on board the Cygnus with those weapons. The single barreled pistol only came with the Black Hole toys and never actually exsisted in the movie, they are a made up item created by Mego. The only traditional single barreled weapon in the entire movie is used by Lt. Charlie Pizer for all of five seconds on screen as it is shot out of his hand by an unseen attacker when they board the Cygnus.

ok, so you're selling mangled "sprues" recast in silver as jewelry

[noahlandow]

Indeed. Though I don't think of them as mangled

Ah, I did not know that. It has been a really long time since I saw the movie. You have an awsome knowledge of the Black Hole weaponry usage. I wonder if Mego had that gun from another line and simply reused it? Or perhaps the designer was stumped by how to get the the figure's hand to grip the double barrelled/movie accurate type (The gun slides in from the top, I believe).

You can def get gold plate (You could add that to any of these for around $10) but the raw cost of just 14k gold itself for the Heavy Stub Rifle is several hundred dollars. It may not be obvious that the piece is nearly two inches long. And very heavy for a necklace.

I've sold a few of these, though the branch collection is by far the most popular. This is something I do on the side mainly for fun, though, and I don't do any promotion or marketing at all. Rather spend my time making work These days I'm working on a new collection, tentatively called Control. Some test shots are up on Flickr if you're interested.

[JsARCLIGHT]

Mego toys are notorious for reusing things, chances are it came from something else... what else it could have come from is beyond me though. The only other 3 3/4 licenses Mego had before it went under that would sport weapons like that where Buck Rodgers and perhaps Micronauts. The only problem is that the entire Buck Rodgers toy line didn't come with guns (Buck and a few others had guns molded into holsters but they weren't removable) and the micronauts weapons where white L shaped blobs for the most part.

Who knows... Mego was not exactly "dead nuts accurate" in their sculps, nobody really was back then.

I'd bet that's exactly why the guns are wrong, actually.

[Noriko Takaya]

Dragging up the dead horse again. The double barrelled guns used by the good guys were actually weapons stolen from destroyed Sentry robots. If you recall, Reinhart destroyed the weapons belonging to the Palomino's crew. If you go and watch the movie, you will also see that the Sentry commander STAR is using them also. As for toy manufacturer Mego, glad they're gone.
