"It's just a loader. It doesn't understand"
All shot using real figures and miniature sets. The eyes and button glow on Ned-B I digitally illustrated in.
Such a hungry matoran, but who wouldn't be with these gyoza right here?
Some dark variants based on a black light pic, figured they glow cuz they’re an av-matoran
Found this beauty in my latest bonkle haul, wings are still in great condition. Figured I'd put in on display for my bug collection
Made this for a friend, we both seem pretty happy with it
Since I had these two I figured I'd try recreating a shot from the commercial

Camping by a lake and figured Gali would like a dip
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! HE LOOKS SO GOOD I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!!
he legit looks like his armor has the same weight and thickness as the cgi clones in Attack of the Clones. The colors are spot-on. I know the helmet and pauldron were a bit of a bother, since they’re custom. You did such an amazing job translating the art into a figure!!! I’m in awe!!! The weathering on the leather parts is even a different texture from the weathering on the plastoid parts! You made my dorky dad of a Commander look like such a badass!! I can’t wait to do my own photo shoot with him!!
Finished custom for @theartgremlin
Samantha wishes everyone a very Happy and Bewitching Halloween!
Toy Sunday’s Theme: Halloween
“Samantha Stevens in Bewitched merely twitched her nose and turned the mortal world upside down. Forever charming and fun, the show features the light-hearted antics that happen between a beautiful but strong willed witch named Samantha and her eternally bewildered mortal husband, Darrin.
Endowed with a wonderful cast of wacky characters, this classic 1960s television series still continues to delight television audiences with its funny stories and whimsical hocus pocus.”
As dusk approached, Rutledge hurried home, wondering if the mushrooms he saw were there before or had recently appeared, much like how they were described in a poem he had come across:
“Overnight, very Whitely, discreetly, Very quietly
Our toes, our noses Take hold on the loam, Acquire the air.
Nobody sees us, Stops us, betrays us; The small grains make room.
Soft fists insist on Heaving the needles, The leafy bedding,
Even the paving. Our hammers, our rams, Earless and eyeless,
Perfectly voiceless, Widen the crannies, Shoulder through holes. We
Diet on water, On crumbs of shadow, Bland-mannered, asking
Little or nothing. So many of us! So many of us!
We are shelves, we are Tables, we are meek, We are edible,
Nudgers and shovers In spite of ourselves. Our kind multiplies:
We shall by morning Inherit the earth. Our foot's in the door.”
Poem is: Mushrooms by Sylvia Plath www.poetrybyheart.org.uk/poems/mushrooms
Goddess of the Moon (Cháng’é)
“Every year around September in the Gregorian calendar, people across Asia and around the world gather with their families to celebrate the Moon Festival (Mid-Autumn Festival).
The festival involves the serving of mooncakes and, in some places, like Taiwan, often involves barbecue parties with family, friends and neighbors. Central to the folklore of the Moon Festival is the telling of the story of the moon goddess, Cháng’é.
According to this ancient story, a long, long time ago, the heavens was home to ten blazing suns. The ten suns scorched the surface of the earth mercilessly and the earth’s inhabitants – the animals, plants and people – struggled desperately to survive in this fiery world.
One day, a brave and powerful archer decided to take matters into his own hands. His name was Hòu Yì and he took his bow, climbed up the highest peak he could find and challenged the suns.
One by one, Hòu Yì succeeded in downing the fiery orbs. Just as he was about to shoot down the tenth and final sun, however, a beautiful village maiden appeared and begged him to stop.
“If you shoot down the final sun,” she pleaded, “the world will be plunged into icy darkness forever. Spare this last sun and the world will thrive – neither too bright or too dark, too hot or too cold.”
Hòu Yì heeded the maiden’s advice and permitted the last sun to remain in the sky.
The gods rewarded Hòu Yì’s bravery by gifting him with a bottle of elixir which, when imbibed, would turn mortals into immortals and enable them to join the gods.
In addition to the heavenly gift, the village maiden, thankful for Hòu Yì’s bravery, pledged herself to be his wife. The maiden’s name was Cháng’é.
When Hòu Yì received the elixir, he did not immediately consume it. He put away the bottle in what he felt was a safe place in his home and went on a hunt, leaving his dear wife to guard the elixir. The two had decided that, at a later time, they would both take the elixir and be able to live with the gods together, never to be separated.
It was at this time that bandits who knew of the elixir’s existence, intruded upon Hòu Yì’s residence, demanding that Cháng’é give up the elixir.
The maiden, unwilling to hand over her husband’s hard-won prize to bandits, took the decision to consume the substance herself.
This ill-timed and supposed blessing of immortality had become a curse – forever separating Cháng’é from her husband who must remain a mortal man.
Cháng’é felt her body become lighter and lighter. She began to float up towards the sky, eventually landing on the Palace of the Moon, where she took up residence.
Hòu Yì, separated from his beloved wife, could do nothing. But thenceforth, he began, on the anniversary of his wife’s ascent to the moon during mid-autumn, to place fruits and cakes on altars to honor her.
This practice began by Hòu Yì during this time of year is the reason, this story says, behind the mid-autumn festival so popular throughout East Asia.”
