VINTAGE VIEW: Denys Fisher Toys' Android

As a child I had two favourite toy lines: Micronauts and three 8'' tall figures that never actually had a collective name but individually were Cyborg, Muton and Android. It was only many years later I discovered the link between the two which, with the benefit of hindsight (plus an adult brain) is quite clear.

But for those unfamiliar with these toys, here's a closer look at the Denys Fisher Toys figure, Android.

NEWS: Glyoborg!

Matt Doughty of Onell Design makes no secret of his love of Henshin Cyborg, as this Takara-inspired, Glyos-based tribute shows. It's just too bad Matt didn't share the ''recipe'' for this figure, as I'd love to build a companion piece to my Denys Fisher Cyborg.*

Anyway, you can see more of Matt's homage in this very cool gallery.

* Henshin Cyborg's kid sidekick, Shonen Cyborg, was released in the UK along with the 7'' King Walder and Android A figures as Cyborg, Muton and Android.
