So random. Mao looks like he's hitchhiking. And what's up w/ the jorts and leggings?

I like the saucy stance Lenin's sporting. |

These are maybe 1/20 scale? They would be killer hanging around some SF3D models. |

I saw this a few weeks ago. I thought they were very cool but expensive. I wasn't even sure if they were resin or plastic or what. I didn't know it was Thoreau, I think I had thought he was Lincoln. I actually admire Thoreau, so ahead of his time and very current just now. My favorite of the lot (as toys) is Mao, I just love the stance and the finger up, just waiting for a ride. |

Wow. Those are strange on a few levels. I like the flesh material for the face and boots but not for the arms or legs. I gotta get me a pair of those face-skin boots.

I too am loving these guys. But that is a pretty hefty price tag. I can't help but wonder if the artist for MR is off either laughing to himself or thoroughly discouraged with the public at the irony of this. |

Hahaha. "Thumbs up to mass starvation!" Pretty kooky but I get a Kozik vibe (from content, not execution, that's not a jab or anything either.) zapatoloco wrote: Lovely dudes ! but alittle steep (!) at 145£ for the set... |

The sculpting is great on these. They need to release an army men green set. |
