These diminutive dreadfuls were found in one of those "Educational Toy Stores" (you know the kind; lots of Playmobil and science fair kits), on one of my trips, but for the life of me, I can't exactly remember which trip, since it was so long ago. I had originally picked these guys up when I was designing a boardgame called "Monster Planet", which I never did get around to finishing, so they've sat in a box for over a year now.
Time for them to be seen, I say.
These figures (which may be some sort of Japanese Godzilla-type monsters, I'm not sure) are really, really, tiny. Only about the size of a D&D Miniature, and each one could use a nickel for a stand. I think this is why I love these little guys so much; they seem to pack so much black and green menace (with those piercing crimson eyes!) into such a tiny package.
Like I said, I have no idea what the origin of these creatures may be, so I decided to give them all names. Let's meet them...
Above is Sphinctor. If his tentacles don't get you, his gas-spewing orifices will!
Next, we have The Noggin - the brains of the operation. His intelligence is matched only by his penchant for evil deeds.
This is Bubbles. He's a hugger.
The Pincher makes sure that no one is safe from his welt-raising ouchies. Don't think he's scary? Have you ever imagined being pinched to death? Yeah... it takes a loooooooong time.
Oh no! It's Roboticus Rex! Part machine! Part Monster! He's a slow mover, but beware his crushing grip!
This one is called Earz. Don't... make... a... sound.
Blur-face! So named because the picture I took turned out crappy! Oh, the horror!
And finally, we wrap things up with The Smoocher. He may seem like a lover, but he's really... A KILLER!
So, that's it for this week's rather silly post. I'll try to take things more seriously next week. or maybe I won't. It's my blog and I can do what I want with it.
Thanks for reading!
