    Happy Saint Urho's Day! (March 16th)

    In Celebration of the Peudo Patron Saint of Finland who saved the ancient Finnish vinyards
    from the grasshoppers with his mighty pirchfork.

    It is a debatable holiday made up in the 1950's.
    An excuse to wear purple and drink (and rid the land of grasshoppers)

    But how often can a person find a holiday to tie in with Cocobat figures?

    Wow! That's too awesome! I didn't realize that a cut up 12" figure would fit so well on a Skullbrain - the helmet fits perfectly!

    erm, It didn't start out fitting perfectly.
    Sealing the bloody helmet is a real pain.
    Then I had to torch and stretch the helmet forever to fit right.
    Otherwise it was making the eyesockets all scrunched up.
    I had to chop up THREE different Dokurokings to get everything to work out. (Add up the cost in your head...)

    I love the the story about padre wielding a pitch fork, It reminds me of morrissey "Wielding a bicycle chain why won't you change? "I will not change and I will not be Nice"
