Rasputin madness

Parte din sub-colectia "Six Faces of Madness"* by Mcfarlane (biensur), Rasputin este o figurina foarte expresiva, mustind de accesorii. Mi-aminteste (din cauza carligelor) de Talisac-ul lui Clive Barker, la fel si atmosfera din Tortured Souls e usor de comparat cu atmosfera astor 6 figurine infricosatoare. Partea cea mai buna este ca... spre diferenta de personajele inventate de Barker, personajele recreate de Mcfarlane chiar au existat. Ceea ce, da, le face al naibii de infricosatoare! Putin nemultumit de scara la care au fost facute (as fi vrut macar un 12 inch), ma declar totusi fericit ca exista. So, Rasputin, welcome... wanna meet Spawn?! :D


De sus in jos, de la stanga la dreapta: Billy the Kid, Rasputin, Vlad the Impaler, Elizabeth Bathory, Atilla the Hun, Jack the Ripper.

Din aceeasi colectie se poate (daca esti norocos) gasi si un set separat de accesorii suplimentare pentru cele 6 figurine. Setul include: arme pentru The Kid, sticlute pentru Rasputin, tors omenesc in teapa pentru Tepes, capete in baltoaca de sange etc.

Ai pad, ai parte, nu prea ai carte!

Am tot incercat sa ignor "calitatile" fabulosului, minunatului, superbului, nemaivazutului, extraordinarului, ingeniosului si nu in ultimul rand: URIASULUI produs de la Apple. Dupa minute bune de deliberat am gasit un set de intrebuintari numai bune: incepand la placa de surf, snowboard sau skateboard pana la arma de aparare, paleta de ping pong - tenis, suport pentru oale si tigai fierbinti, lopata desapezire, evantai, apatoare de ploaie, mouse pad, rama tablou si inca alte 2-3 variatii. Ignorand faptul ca nu are camera video, mi se pare totusi un deal foarte bun. Avand in vedere calitatile de mai sus. Ignorand faptul ca e total pe langa ceea ce se intampla in lumea gadgeturilor putem ajunge usor in societatea distopica a lu' MarMuscat. Our Brother from another mother. Fucker.

Green on HULK project!

Era si timpul sa aduc verdele in casa mea. Asa ca noul meu proiect (de modelaj) implica o cantitate uriasa de lut si perspectiva unui: 1/2 scale mean-green-super-dooper hero head sculpt: The Hulk. Mai multe vesti, dupa ce ajungem pe + grade Celsius.

My preciousssss indeed

Of course i did it! I mean, i did it as in: i've just completed the work on my latest head sculpt: Smeagol (hairless version - so far). So far so good but let me tell you more about this real size scale sculpt of the Precious: it's pretty heavy and he stares a lot. An yes, it's just a little tribute to Weta and all the people involved in the process of making LOTR. New Zealand rocks!

Some pictures of the work in progress Smeagol will be added soon.

Smeagol head sculpture.
Height: 10 in (27 cm), Lenght: 8/10 in (20/27 cm), Weight: 13 pounds (6 Kg)
Temporarily not available for sale.

I'm sick

I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.

Spawn of Joy

Editia speciala Spawn Anniversay Five & One (1995-2000) mi-e draga pentru ca:
1. Este al dracului de rara.
2. Contine doua bucatele de istorie: prima figurina de 6 inch Spawn din 1995 si cea din 2000 (care a dat tonul si designul a zeci de figurine Spawn ce incanta ochiul fanului de 9 ani incoace)
3. Este varianta semnata de creatorul nebuniei Spawn, Mcfarlane Todd. Doar una din zece cutii a fost semnata, iar editia totala este limitata la cateva sute.
4. Am platit o suma ridicol de mica (noroc chior) pentru piesa asta de muzeu si niciun serviciu postal nu si-a facut de cap cu ea.
5. Biensur, e sigilata si inca pastreaza (in interior) aerul unor vremuri interesante si ale unor locuri ce au favorizat cele mai frumoase creatii din universul jucariilor de colectie.

Watch it!

Who watches the latest episode of Up 'n Down?

Aha!

Astroboy is happy now: his new super-companion likes also the red colour and flying around occasionally. So here it is, my latest oil colour-project, SPRMN.

"AHA!" - oil on canvas, size 120 x 70cm & 35 x 35cm
