Here is one of my older figures. Steve McQueen as Capt. Hilts “The Cooler King” in The Great Escape from 21st Century Toys. I will barter Steve for some praetorians. So before he goes on his journey tomorrow I took some farewell pictures
As always it was nice, to meet some of the usual suspects and talk to some new people as well.
Here’s what I bought:
The three Dragon bodies will loose their head some day and get a new custom head. The two DID guys would work well as some 60s style musicians. I think the Hot Toys muscle guy will make an excelent gladiator. With the “Legacy of Valor” girl I will try some artificial aging to turn her in an old Roman lady.
And I bought two wooden chairs and the Virtual Toys “Stone Cold Killer” Set. This is Bruce Willis as Hartigan in Sin City.
Here is my weekly Sunday Girl.

I’m really sick and tired of winter. So I dicided to take some summer pix. Here are the two Hot Toys true type babes on the beach. I took the images in front of my tv-set.
Yesterday I removed my “Britannia-Set” from the living room floor, but before that, I turned it into a rainforest, to take some pictures of figures in a tropical location. Here are the images of Machiko:
And here is the last one of the Samurai School Girls Gang.

Here is a little support for my legion. A Syrian archer. The inspiration for the figure came from a picture on the Trajan’s column.
The Memento Mori countdown is running. I think I can publish the first chapter at the end of this month. But there is still a lot of work to do. Not every set can be an elaborate one. I don’t have the time and the money for this and much less the space to store it all. So some sets will be just a quick improvisation. For that reason I did a little photoshop work today to create some backgrounds. They will be used as poster prints in the backgrond of some scenes.
Here are some examples:
