"This has got out of hand!!! Nobody needs to be hurt here today!!!!"

As I took arrival of what I think is the last of the :shadow: MOC's yesterday I can now resume my tidy up in the Toy Room, which prompted me to snap some shots this morning.

So (and this is crying out for someone to post a "well, actually" comment) as far as I know - here are all variants of the :shadow: MOC's!!!!

Image

Image

Ombre Rouge & Ombre Rossa!! (I love the Ombre part - reminds me of Speedy Gonzales as a kid!!)

Image

Rotte Schatten and English (Non Dufus - Mail away Commander) version.

Image

Destro????? (who is a Dufus Shad too - as is one of the others actually, but I forget which one!) & Red Vulture carded as Shadow.

Image
Single bubbler and Dufus/Skeletron Mail away Rode Schaduw

And then theres the MISB Escape armour:-


Image

And my gutted to have a hole in the sellophane MIB Shadowtrak:-

Image

So all in all that's 10 MOC/MIB rascals, including various Mail away offers, a mixture of Dufus and Non Dufus and (as far as I know, but I await being proved wrong) all language variants on the cards!

Oh, and then there's these:-

Image


Image

Which, if I were on YoJoe, would be listed as "the first ever version of the Red Shadow" as nothing else exists and if you say anything otherwise you're out of here sunshine!!!!

I suspect there endeth my Shad Quest. :-D

These look awesome, Homage Steve, Homage.

And, even though I'm not doing all variants of other figures - honest, I'm not:-

Image

An Army of Mu's waiting to bust loose (from the left - Commander Mail away Mu, with feint white dots and no 'built up' shoes, Commander mail away Mu, with bolder white dots, and built up shoes, Skeletron Mail away Mu, and Robot Mu!)

Image

Black Major, Le Major Noire (with ATT maps & Skeltron Mailaway) and Schwarzer Major! Along with his buddies English carded and Foreign carded Kraken (sorry, my grasp of other languages is rubbish, so I can never ID languages, and I know it makes me sound ignorant to just say "foreign languaged" but hey, what can I say, when it comes to other languages I am ignorant!!)

And last, but not least:-

Image

The Baron's been demoted to a major!!!! Followed by Eisenblut, "Hans Blaster" Baron (who incidentally has built up shoes too, and is the Skeletron Mail away!), Baron Stallhard and regular old (Commander Mail away) Baron (second shelf - looking at his Krakens).

Now I just need a Black Hands Baron!!!

See, and they say I have OCD!!!

I'm hoping to get chance to do some shots of my beloved series 1 tonight (especially for Paulitoy!!! :-D ) - you can just see them lurking there backstage waiting for their time to shine (literally, as the Toy Room is so dark in the summer as there are huge trees out the back of our house, that it is nigh on impossible to photograph them in cases without getting that annoying shine!!! Although I've got a nice new six spotlight light bar on our Wedding List, so hopefully soon they shall be much better lit up!!!)

I'll pop him on the list - along with the plain black smooth legged SAS Commando variant, and the plain black pocketed legged SAS Commando variant.

Mind you, I'd never really have thought I'd be getting a Destro Shadow, or Major Baron Blood Bludd either, but there are always surprises out there!!!

Mad is a good look for me! Progress on what I've been in the past!

Opening ceremony is a week on Thursday. One of the lower lever Royal Family Members (I suspect it will be Andrew, after I paid £250k for that 'introduction' to him) will be popping round to start the ceremony!

Cheers Bill! No need for jealousy! My affliction is nothing to be jealous of! I just can't help myself! :-D

Bloody good job I'm not planning a holiday any time soon (he lies).

Although if I were going away, I'd be taking my favourite figures with me.... (is that the sound of the Baron starting to cry I hear???)

Thanks Guys!! :-D
