My Articulated Sculpted Miniatures

And I've got plants now! Although I mostly just took pictures of my toys.

I suppose we should get this one out of the way first, it's not a toy, rather it's a life size replica I sculpted of myself from a local wax called mooshoo. It looks eerily lifelike in the right light.

'Kay so that's obviously me fibbing. What happened was I struck a pose, and the lady across the street opened her window and stared into my open window and saw me standing like that. Naturally I didn't want her to think I was an idiot so I figured the best thing to do was just not move for a while. I stood there for five minutes before she went back into her apartment, staring the whole time.

Look, I've got plants now! I can pretend my action figures are traipsing through a jungle! My favorite one is the big fellow by the window (Brock) there's a close up below.

That's not Brock, that's Tom and Jerry.

Thing Ring, DO YOUR THING!

That's Brock in the middle, and Dean and Hank above and below him respectively. It's nice to have living things in the space. I expect them to be withered and brown within a week.

That's Rusty, and the cheapest bottle of red wine I could find at the local super. It's almost empty now. I got some dried mango strips that go really well with the wine. I figure it's better than candy and soda... maybe.

Asterix and Obelix guard the Man of Steel.

Almost too much awesomeness to be contained in one image.

Crom demanded I leave the best for last.

I wanted to leave a comment about the sweet life-size Shobo action figure you've got in your dining room, but you closed the door on that one. I can't think of anything else clever to say so I'm just going to tlak about not being able to leave my comment.
The place is really coming together. It looks nice and cozy now.

talk. I'm going to talk. Not tlak. Tlaking is something altogether different. So different, in fact, that I don't know what it actually is. I just know it isn't talking.

Oh boy!! I wish Me n Sean had a life sized action Shobo in our dining room!! Anyhoo, great pictureees of the little guys in your life. (why no lady action figures?) have you seen Funlola's IPC project? Your pictures remind me of it. Oh, and your home looks very very homey now!

You should get a Maleficent figurine. I tried to get one from Funlola, but I was denied :(
