Let's Chat: Play Along Toys Sam Gamgee at Weathertop

Play Along Toys had a bunch of series for their AOME LOTR figures. This Sam Gamgee figure was from the Battle Scale Figures (International) series which consisted of ten (to the best of my knowledge) individual poses in packaging featuring French script - which leads me to believe these were marketed in Canada. I had only bought nine of the ten figures back in the day and unfortunately gave up the hunt for the remaining figure.

This turned interesting. The prompt said to place Sam within the tower of Amon Sûl trying to defend Frodo from the Ringwraiths...

...not the Dark Riders...

...the Ring Wraiths

But I got Dark Riders anyway. Rather than go through a bunch of edits to delete the horses, I decided to keep the image as is. 

FOV #82005 German Kübelwagen Type 82 Normandy 1944 (2004) - Pt 1 Box and Contents

I'm not sure when I'll get around to photographing the next FOV vehicle, but The Cave is a bit cooler in the mornings now so hopefully that can happen soon.

This was a terrific piece to unbox. Not only do you get the Kübelwagen and figures, but a host of 'smalls' as well and the Kübelwagen can be configured in a 'top up' or 'top down' arrangement.

Space Art: JR21 X-50 Landing

This JR21 X-50 Rocket Ship was blogged back in 2016 and I put it to use again with the new Moonscape.

It's a rather steep angle but the pilot is an old pro and he'll bring it in safely

Let's Chat: Play Along Toys Rohan Soldier

I find myself a bit busier than I have been so the posts will be quick & easy for a day or two - or three, or...

This Chat started as a Rohan Soldier from Play Along Toys 'Heroes & Villains of Middle Earth' series from 2004. The series only consisted of five figures, each individually packaged, which allowed a collector to build up an army in no time.

Okay, here's the last iteration of the Rocky Jones Orbit Jet - this time in a sepia tone and a vignette effect.
