how are the joints on your guys? I've been hear from a lot of people that they are breaking kinda easy.

[kingkarl]

what ho dear friends?

got this little sf gem last year but the cogs turn slowly in karl-land.

never seen one before but I think it's great.  must be the smallest lrg i've seen!  I guess there should be another figure in the capsule but who knows? paid about $5 with shipping from hong kong.  instructions are pretty self explanatory what to do with it.

if anyone knows anything about these or wants to talk swapping/selling sf keshi please give me a buzz.

 

I've also thrown in some pics of a deadstone valley set I recently bought.  never heard of them before but couldn't resist for £3!  more information and pics of all of the sculpts are on their website.

 

click on the link below and scroll to the left for the pics........or you can click to the right to see pics of my taxidermy japery but they're a bit grisly!

enjoy

when they go on sale on the 4H's site, I'll be snagging some more, definitely):

are they restocking then I guess? saw everything was sold out at the store at the moment. kinda wish I had gotten in on the kickstarter back in the day, really liking that Quetzalcoatl. That parrot feather shield isn't one of his accessories is it?  That thing is amazing.

There's a thread on here about Deadstone Valley. Weird and decidedly morbid series of figures, I'm not sure who they're aimed at. However the single figs are currently available in Poundland, and when I opened a bunch in work, all the women on my team thought they were really cool. Go figure.

 

I saw that boxset in The Works a while ago, but not since. I suppose I really ought to get the gravediggers and undertaker to complete my set.

It's not a shield - it's a Couatl from Dungeons & Dragons miniatures.  Should run you about $8-$20.

 

And Eric - all of mine have had great joints with no breakage or trouble.

ahh ok, I see the base now. at first glance it looked like a shield anyway hah

I got the crown-jewel of the LEGO's The Hobbit series: The Lonely Mountain! Considering the cancellation of the alleged 3rd wave of LEGO LotR, this set appears to be the final piece I needed for a complete Tolkien LEGO collection. I'm sad to see the line end (especially without anything related to Gondor) but then I never dreamed I'd get Tolkien LEGO, so I'm thankful for what was produced

 

I skipped a few of the sets and just picked up the figures separately but this one makes a perfect display for the full Dwarvish Company, and since Smaug alone already runs about $65 on Bricklink it's well worth it.

yeah. that Nujumetru Minas Tirith project has been one of the major points of discussion in the LotR thread over at Eurobricks for a while now. It was featured as editor's pick on the Ideas homepage for a week or so and got enough support for consideration over a month ago. Apparently there's skepticism around it since there may be licensing issues (and considering they allegedly cancelled the final LotR wave due to poor sales), so I'm keeping my fingers crossed but not holding my breath, so to speak.

 

It would be great to get a Minas Tirith set though since it would provide an opportunity to fill the mini-figure gaps in the LotR lineup (Eowyn, Faramir, Denethor, and Witch King, maybe a Gondor soldier)

That Goliath is just fantastic.

I received Goliath today as well. I've got the same Cobratis but in the stone grey. Both are great figures.

[Ridureyu]

Remember that overview of some of the signs of the Zodiac I did a little while ago?  I just picked up the other figures.  And, uh, some of them are kinda NSFW, so I'll link to those ones instead of showing them off.

 

 

PISCES - I know that a lot of New Agers want to equate Pisces with the Christian Fish (Hence "new age" - from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius, i.e. Christianity fading to give way to the new methods of thought), but that's not what it's about.  Pisces actually symbolizes the time when Aphrodite and Eros (i.e. Venus and her son Cupid) turned into fish to flee from the titan Typhon.  And that's what this figure represents.  It's a naked woman giving birth to a strange alien-baby while sprouting fins.  I mean, really, WTF, Japan?

 

VIRGO - Virgo's origin is kind of odd.  As it turns out, it may or may not actually have to do with virginity (one alternate meaning of virgin in Ancient Greek was "self-sufficient single woman,"), and the constellation is usually understood to represent Astraea, the last of the immortals to live with humans during the Golden Age, and a goddess of purity (which supports the virgin idea).  I have no idea what that weird pink thing is that is covering her, or why it appears to have boobs.

 

TAURUS - Taurus represents a lot of sacred mythical bulls, dating back to long, long before Greece.  There are Paleolithic cave paintings identifying the constellation with a bull, in fact.  To the Mesopotamians, Taurus was an ancient divine bull sent to kill Gilgamesh.  The Greeks anchored it to the legend of Zeus and Europa - you know, that time he got real horny, disguised himself as a white bull, got all snuggly with Europa, waited for her to sit on top of him, and then ran for the hills before repeteadly, uh... well, yeah.  He also protected her from hera, who got quite jealous but couldn't retaliate against Zeus.  The figure clearly represents the Greek legend.

 

Okay, the rest are weird, but at least they're SFW:

 

AQUARIUS -  Aquarius represents Ganymede, a Trojan prince who wasreally pretty, so much so that Zeus took a fancy to him(!), abducted him and brought him to Olympus(!!), and then made him the cupbearer for all the gods(!!!).  This story was widely used all over Greece as the justification for enforced pederasty, where parents would just hand their kids over to older rich dudes(!!!!).  You know, there's a lot of stuff in greek mythology that just doesn't get brought up in the Disney cartoons.

 

 

GEMINI -  Gemini represents Castor and Pollux, the twins born after Zeus turned into a swan(!) to seduce a lady(!!).  They were hatched from eggs(!!!), and are mostly known for hanging out with Jason and the Argonauts.  Anyway, one of them died, and the other was sad, and asked for Zeus to bring him back.  So Zeus tossed 'em into the stars(!!!!).

 

 

LEO - Leo is thankfully a lot simpler than some of the other signs.  He represents the Nemean Lion, a powerful and vicious lion whose skin could only be pierced by his own claws.  One of Hercules's twelve labors was to kill this lion.  After Hercules realized that he could not stab it, he just grabbed the thing by the throat and strangled it.  Afterward, Hercules skinned it with it own claws and wore the pelt as armor.  And so, the Nemean Lion became the first of many to not realize the huge loopholes in his invulnerability.  It's like having a superhero named Bulletproof Man, who dies when somebody shoots him with an arrow.

 

 

SAGITTARIUS - Sagittarius represents Chiron, one of the legendary centaurs.  Whereas most centaurs are raucous, drunken rapists (just like Zeus), Chiron was a kind-hearted, self-controlled teacher of science, philosophy, the arts, and archery.  He trained heroes, and became one of the most significant mentors in Greek myth.  Eventually, he sacrificed his immortality and thus his life to save Prometheus.  'Course, Prometheus's immortality meant that he could go through eternity getting his liver ripped out by buzzards, so maybe it wasn't such a noble sacrifice after all.

 

 

OPIUCHUS - HAH!  Betcha didn't know there was a thirteenth sign, didja?  Opiuchus is the Serpent Bearer, and a relative newcomer to the Zodiac, which is why it isn't included in many listings.  It represents one of two possible things - either Apollo battling the giant snake that guarded the Oracle of Delphi, or Laocoon being strangled to death by sea serpents for trying to stop the Greeks from sacking Troy.  Personally, I think that it represents Aladdin versus Jafar, but that's just me.

Green Green Army arrived today!

 

 

So glad I was able to pick up a set of these after missing them a few months ago, they're fantastic!

[Rubberhammer]

Got my Doom Gotter figs in.
I was hoping that by adding the ink wash option, to the color that I chose, that it would give the figures the color of old bone.
It worked even better than I had hoped!



You can't tell how awesome the Filth Lickers tongue is, untill you have it in hand.
The rubber Imperfecz uses is great.

[Sixthwizard]

My wife says Filth Lickers tongue is like one of those funny sex things.... She's from Brazil- broken English- best she could describe it. Hahahaha...she means French tickler

What color is that there, RubberHammer?

[imperfecz]

So glad they arrived and you're happy with our work! The details on the Filth Licker are really pretty subtle, the wash really helps bring it all out. 

 

Thanks to everyone who has supported this line!

[Rubberhammer]

Yeah, the wash really brings out the detail on the Filth Licker. All the little scratches, and nuances are really cool.
