This is an odd rsin sculpt and is very economical. I don't know whether I will purchase one of these models.

Interesting piece, economical, and it shouldn't be to difficult to finish.

A Lament for a Woman Left Behind on Arrakis

“Far within the fortress citadel, so deep within that the sound sometimes lost itself in the flow of city noises, a ten-string rebaba tinkled with a song of the Jihad, a lament for a woman left behind on Arrakis:

‘Her hips are dunes curved by the wind,
Her eyes shine like summer heat,
Two braids of hair hang down her back-
Rich with water rings, her hair!
My hands remember her skin,
Fragrant as amber, flower scented…
I am stricken by love’s white flame!’ ”

Dune Messiah, Frank Herbert

Lost & Found: Raggedy Ann Figure

This gal has seen better days and has made it to my “Lost and found series. Although she was played with heavily, even by the family dog, by the looks of the teeth marks on her torso she did clean-up nicely.

After digging her up, another toy found in my garden, she was given a bath and scrubbed with a tooth brush. Once she was dry she was thoroughly inspected. This woman has got some curves. She stands approximately 65mm tall. I don’t know what type of plastic she is cast, but I am guessing PVC? She feels dense and has some bulk has I grip her in my hand. Don't judge.

The Avengers ran from 1961 through 1969. There two things a remember about my watching the Avengers, one was Mrs. Peal and two: that show had a certain quirkiness to it that I enjoyed. I would have been 10 years old when the show went off the air, so I probably remember being infatuated with Diana Rigg while watching reruns.

Amarantha’s Riddle

“There are those who seek me a lifetime but never we meet,
And those I kiss but who tremble me beneath ungrateful feet.

At times I seem to favor the clever and the fair,
But I bless all those who are brave enough to dare.

By large, my ministrations are soft-handed and sweet,
But scorned, I become a difficult beast to defeat.

For through each of my strikes land a powerful blow,
When I kill, I do it slow.”

What is the aswer to this riddle?

It has been quite a while since I made a post for Conan or maps. I do have a few other screenshots and commentary that I intend to make for this film.

A Host of Characters - Arina Vlassievna

It has been awhile since my last post on this topic, so you might have forgotten what my rational. A host of characters is a place where I document possible characters for my games.

Arina Vlassievna is the mother of Evgenii Bazarov. Arina is in her sixties and is small and rotund. Arina diminutiveness accents her humility and Arina Vlassievna was a true Russian daughter of the petty nobility; by rights she should have lived a couple of centuries before, in the times of old Moscow. She was very devoted and emotional: she believed in all sorts of omens, ways of telling a fortune, spells, dreams; she believed in holy innocents, in brownies, in wood demons, in unlucky encounters, in the evil eye, in folk remedies, in salt, especially when it was blessed on Holy Thursday, and the imminent end o f the world…”

Dollar Zombies

This is kind of a late blog entry. I had wanted to make this post last month; a more fitting time period, with Halloween and all. At any rate, here are some of the lovelies; the only few that were photogenic. It was very hard to keep them contained and they were always wandering off.

The package includes fourteen plastic miniatures that stand approximately two inches tall. My package included thirteen unique miniatures including two tombstones and two different dogs. The miniatures feature some nice detail.

Click Chick Dress Up Dolls

These capsule toy dolls stand approximately two inches tall. The dolls are made of a light weight plastic. There are five different types of dolls, but with the sticker sheet stickers that can be applied to the dolls dress or the dolls eyes alternative types can be created. The dolls don’t snap together perfectly, but what did I expect for six-bits.

Hawk Toys Drag Hag

Here is another one of those weird-o skate-boarders from Hawk toys. This figure is also made of PVC plastic and like the other Hawk toys figure the Drag Hag stand roughly six inches tall.

She justly named...

Weird-Ohs Trading Cards

Included in each package of Weird-Ohs skateboarders is a set of five trading cards depicting Hawk characters. These characters were developed by Bill Campbell over forty years ago. The cards measure 3.5 by 2.75 inches, about the size of a playing card. I have included one of the five, the only one that came out okay, when I took images of them. I will have to try again.

Weird-Oh’s-Sling Rave Curvette

Sling Rave Curvette stands snug on her skateboard through the use of a magnets that are down at her feet. The skateboard is metal and although it doesn’t roll like a real skateboard it does roll. The figure is made of PVC plastic and stand roughly six inches tall and while Sling Rave Curvette is on her skateboard she stands a good eight inches tall.

I found her and a few other odd toys at a discount store and with a 40% discount to boot. I don’t know whether they are still in production? Sling Rave Curvette is one of a few skateboarders.

Weird-Oh model’s is a division of Hawk models which still produces a line of weird hotrods models. These models include a hot-rod of sorts and a weird monster driver. Believe it or not each of these hotrods models has its own song.And that is weird!

The Legend of a Dragon-lady

He watched it stoically, not wondering at a new thing, if indeed it be new to China, meditated on it awhile in a manner strange to us, and when he had added to his philosophy what little could be derived from the sight of this hansom cab, returned to his contemplation of that night's chances of wolves and to such occasional thoughts as he drew at times for his comfort out of the legends of China, that have been preserved for such uses. And on such a night their comfort was greatly needed. He thought of the legend of a dragon-lady, more fair than the flowers are, without an equal amongst daughters of men, humanly lovely to look on although her sire was a dragon, yet one who traced his descent from gods of the elder days, and so it was that she went in all her ways divine, like the earliest ones of her race, who were holier than the emperor.
