your stuff is really creative but waaaaay to damn expensive for silver. you can get gold pendants for those prices EASY.

nice website but how many have you actually SOLD? lol nice try tho

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.

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.

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).

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

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.
