Thanks Joe, it's nice to be seen. My Avatar is a Page from one of the vintage Kenner SW coloring books, it's walrus man of course. Being a stay at home Dad is great, but sometimes I feel like this But it's nice work if you can get it!

Awesome, he's definitely a dead ringer for Bender from Futurama in that pose with the beer and gun lol

When will you take some updated pictures of your collection(s) for us Mark?

Anything new on the character focus?

Hello ladies!

Just thought I'd pop in and say Hi, haven't even had a chance to look round yet. Although, it looks like Jay has put a brave bit of effort into this.
Fair play mate.

A big welcome to all the new 'recruits'.

Good to have you all on board guys.
