great Video. It must have been an exceptionally satisfying moment to see those first shots drop into the cooling tray.

So, if the molds for the head survive, and they did a hold for the EE mechanism, could it be done?

Just asking.

I still have to dig and find two of the molds and open the head to see how they did the holes. I've found the mold for the little piece that holds the eyes but I still have to find the other missing molds. We'll see if they are there or not, and if a full working head can be done.

Geyper has the idea of doing the movement of the eyes by rotating the head itself, but I don't know if they finally did it that way.

If you produce the Muscle Body (the second one) in both colors, I'm sure it will be a great success since nobody else reproduced it yet.

MB version would be awesome - looks the same as MB GIJoe (and TS), but with MUCH better GM joints - all win

Received mine today, as well as the new HT Superman.

The Geyper figure is really good, superb, if only the 40th were half as good they would have been a good figure. Very impressed here.

All the paid figures should leave this week. We have 140 parcels to make this week so please be a little more patient.

I'm happy you like the quality of the figures. Geyper made a great quality figure for sure

One interesting thing about the catalog included with the figures: The uniforms and accesories on the photos are from , because the catalog was printed before production started. I found some of those uniforms (they were mixed among the rest of the uniforms I have) and they all have a geyper man sticker over the Action man sewn label like this jacket and still were double-side taped at the back (above: photo taken by me, below: catalog from 1975):

I'm not sure on what exactly the shop sends on foreign emails as it is not translated to english yet. It should have a tracking number. Is it right?

Yes there is a link to a web site with a tracking number attached. I'll have a look later and see if it works.

YES!!! I got your confirmation e-mail this morning, and I'm very excited! From what everyone else has said about them, I know they're going to be worth the extra wait! Soon the hottest toy for Christmas 2011 will be in my hands! Woo-hoo!

just had time to sit down and look at the figure and it is really brilliant. Also been pouring over the leaflets that come in the box and was wondering if you have plans to release any of these sets? The mission impossible one looks amazing.
