That Thanos sculpt underscores what it is I don't like about the character -- no matter how "realistically" he is rendered, he still looks like a cartoon.

I was going to comment on how much I like, for an action figure, that green shirted Kirk but then noticed how much Scotty must be working out his stress and frustration by polishing his boots!  Those things are like black glass, especially compared to all the others!  :)

Oh, GAK! I just realized this "Romulan"…

… is KIRK from "The Enterprise Incident".

Purist may wish to note that the pattern is wrong on his trousers. As I discovered when working on my Romulan stuff for IDW, the dark triangular shapes point up on the front of the sash, and sideways on the pants.

Paging Jodi Moisan - Did you get my query about your ponies in your email? I sent from here and from your website. Never got a response so I was just curious. Thanks!

By the way, Al Burr...  Has your Godzilla Dream book (with mini G2K maquette) arrived yet from HLJ?   I'm curious hear what are your thoughts about it.

Hi jose alicea aka Tony Coca aka Simon Williams (hahaha...yes...the jig is up!), Randy Bowen puts our logo over his sneaks. We have nothing to do with it, but we are honored.

Thanks for asking. :)

Bill - Yes. The Godzilla book is here & very cool. Unfortunately, I'm a little concerned about the shipping. I have to check my credit card bill. I'm worried because I thought their Fed Ex price was really low & then when the item got here from Japan in days, I was shocked! Something's not right...

Don't know what to tell you, Al...  I know that HLJ was having a FedEx discount special not too long ago.  They're currently listing a FedEx estimate shipping rate of 1294 yen for that Godzilla book (roughly $15-16 US).  EMS (Japanese Express shipping) usually delivers to the USA in about 4-5 days, so I guess FedEx would be either the same or faster.

I've always had my HLJ stuff shipped SAL which is usually a 20+ day wait for delivery.  Patience is a... Ah, you know.
