Papo Dragons

I've walked by these plastic, non-articulated dragons and Michael's hobby store a million times. Then this mechanical dragon caught my attention. The sculpting is so cool. Wish they would do more like this, even some dinosaurs.

Geeking Out in Italy

Just got back from Italy so went a bit dark. Jon - I caught up on responding to all your comments over the last week. Anyway, we got to geek out twice in Italy.

First, we went up to Lake Como. We visited the Villa Babianello, where they shot Queen Amidala's lake villa scenes in Attack of the Clones. We witnessed three proposals within an hour. 

Still trying to adjust to Eastern time. Got up at 3:30am this morning. 









Next - we traveled to Venice and I found the "Library" from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Ahhhhh, Venice!


And finally, I saw four turtles in Milan. I shall name them Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael.

Bravo Team - Target Exclusive - 1:18 Modern Army Figures

More carded 1:18 figures I sold off. These were only available at Target. The weapons and accessories are outstanding. I also like how they gave them actual names.

I believe this was a Target exclusive - managed to find him during some holiday shopping. A good addition to the collection.

Playmobil Star Trek

As cool as it is, I have no desire to get the Playmobil Enterprise spaceship playset. No room. The figures are awesome though. As I was searching for a loose set, I came across this four pack that Playmobil offered that includes Kirk, Spock, Bones and Uhura. Easy purchase. A few weeks later, I snagged the other three (Sulu, Scotty, Chekov) for cheap via Ebay.

Framed Star Wars Insert with Prototype Kitbash Boba Fett

 Finally got around to framing this set of Star Wars Carrying Case inserts which includes the rare prototype/kitbash version of Boba Fett. Love how the framer curved the silver matte layer like the vintage Star Wars piping.
