Impeccable taste as always Spacemonkey. Nicely displayed too.

Green Green Army machines are pretty common right now so it should be pretty easy to track down a set if you have a contact there or use a service.

Some cheap Halloween toys that I picked up before starting work today..

I started miniatures company for a table top game I wrote and I just got the first production pieces back from the first sculpt. I'm really excited and hope to have the other pieces back for the other sculpts soon. And unlike vinyl toys, I *want* people to paint these.


A bag of miniatures


That bag is all this guy, Sid the crust punk


A shot next to a rule to show size of the miniature in putty before being cast.

^^^^

Lead?

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Pewter. Miniatures haven't been made of lead for a long time.

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Did you get these after coming back from the show Chris?

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

They arrived on Tuesday. I've already shipped out most of the bag this morning. Crazy! Time to get more cast.

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

I totally want one! I thought you were waiting till later to distribute them

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

They are available now. The next two sculpts, goth girls, will be available next month I think. Then more crusties, some edge dudes and hopefully some black metal dudes.

now to fill it....

The far right column on that shelf in the back there sure has some big boys on it!
Love how you've got the Cyco Ape swinging from the shelves

I just got this massive thing in the mail. Amazon was charging $67 for it, but said the list price was $100, which is way expensive for a 160 page book. I took the plunge anyway, 'cause I do love Krazy. The product description mentioned the comics where reproduced at actual Sunday paper size, but I was thoroughly unprepared for how massive this thing is. I think I've only seen atlases larger. Should be fun to read!

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Ive got a smaller Krazy Kat collection and it's amazing. I haven't seen this one but Sunday paper size sounds excellent!

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Great to hear of another Krazy reader. The format is really nice, but I should mention that about half the strips are in black & white. Apparently these Sundays were published before color made it into newspapers, or at least the funny pages. The publisher is Sunday Press and they've given the same treatment to at least a handful of other comics. There's an Oz Sunday strip that I'd never heard of that I'll probably get sooner or later, too.

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Thanks. I found it. I remember there was a video on Youtube from an old French Tv show about this guy or another French collector of robots. But I can't find it anymore.

Nice. If you like old comics, you should keep an eye on the new Little Nemo's edition by Taschen which is coming in a few days.

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Yeah! I'm very excited about the Nemo volume! 708 pages! The thing must be massive. I've only read a thin volume of Nemo up till now, Wonderful stuff.
