T is for Testicular Gonadians from Planet Bollocky-Ballock

I don't suppose we'll have another title quite like that for a while, but is seemed to be appropriate, given there's no getting round this; the artwork and sculpts leave nothing to the imagination - these Space Monsters are clearly walking, talking, pink gamete-sacks . . . with ray-guns! Except; they're actually green?

Again the artwork is brilliant; evocative of a different age. And I don't think anyone can claim these are derivative of someone else's figures; toy, comic, TV or movie? They share the catalogue/box number of Set 49 with the spacemen as they share the box.

They are also the same intermediate 40mm, but being alien Cajones will have a little more scope for use as they can be giant goolies in one (20/25-mil) universe and evil dwarven testes types in another (54/60-mil) - preferably long, long ago and far, far away!*

*A phrase which is probably ©, P, Patt App., R, Reg. and TM, George Lucas-Lucasfilms-Disney!



I'm not sure if these come in any other colours, I have a half an idea I've seen them in a navy-blue? They also have a casualty (far, top-left) and are an eight count. That's it, that's them; Nut-nagers from Nards - box-ticked!

  1. Yes, they exist in navy-blue too, and they are totally not-derivative: here you can see an original pre-production drawing...

  2. Cheers Space Toyer! Pity the left and right figures in the middle row weren't done . . . definitely a testicular civilization though!
