Some cool figures there. I like the transformer that turns into a cigarette lighter! That's a good message for the kiddies!

The Mecha Godzilla listing/pic is wrong though. Next to the pic it states it has an opening chest hatch and mouth, and pop off leg missiles. That looks like my bandai figure in the picture.

Wrong picture :oops:

Here's the information on the event:

Robots: A Designer's Collection of Miniature Mechanical Marvels Exhibition Preview
Exclusive EMP|SFM Member Event.
Details
The Board and Staff of EMP|SFM invite you to the exhibition preview of Robots: A Designer's Collection of Miniature Mechanical Marvels. Light refreshments and no-host bar will be provided.

Robots: A Designer's Collection of Miniature Mechanical Marvels celebrates our long fascination with humankinds' technological version of itself. This exhibition draws from a one-of-a-kind assemblage of toy robots, which noted designer Tom Geismar has been collecting for decades. Inspired by antique tin and wooden toys, samurai warriors and mid-20th century Japanese film characters, these intricately detailed and beautifully designed miniatures are set against EMP|SFM's backdrop of life-sized robots, androids and cyborgs from the world of science-fiction film and television.

The exhibition runs May 16 to October 26, 2008, in the Pulsar Lounge Gallery at EMP|SFM.
