Nice to see good old Hecatron again, even with the day-glo beard.

Unless the seller's done extensive modifications, that's the haft of his flail he's holding, not his naughty bits.  It's the camera-angle that makes it look suggestive.


That's a relief.  Now I can stop wondering why fire giant twangers are a different color than the rest of their skin.   :evil:

I kinda figured that he was not holding his fleshly flail.

Imagine if it had 3 heads.

Call of Cthulhu miniatures . . . made in 1983 by TSR?

"This is a very large lot possibly a boxed set of Cthulhu Miniatures from 1983. All of these miniatures say 1983 TSR on the bottom of the bases."

Those look like a mix of TSR AD&D, Gangbusters, Top Secret and Star Frontiers miniatures.  TSR never made any miniatures for CoC.

Leave it to T&T to list an auction like that. :roll:

Yup, its a mix.  :roll:

I see an old Roper in the pile.

I hate it when sellers don't have a clue what they are selling.

Well, you never know when you might encounter a Battlemaster or a Masakari in a fantasy adventure....gotta spice those orcs up somehow.

That's awesome. :)  My players are going to freak when I "bring the old-school" down on their heads with these High Chivalry minis...  :lol:

Really?  I love it when sellers don't have a clue what they're selling. If they don't know what they're selling, they don't use the right buzzwords, the item doesn't get as many bids as it should, and I get a bargin.  Sucks for the seller, but good for me, right?

(The "High Chivalry" thing is hilarious, though.)

OK, I don't think I would want to leave negative feedback for this guy.  I don't think I'd want to give him my address!

This poor miniature looks like he is walking through some polar wasteland in search of the other two miniatures that are being auctioned separately:

This auction's description reads like it came from a strung-out meth-head:



. . .  
** expired/removed eBay auction **




Adding to the complete screwiness of the auction are



(1) The seller's account is "bogus22222".

(2) His feedback of 1 from buying $0.99 of MTG cards.

(3) His pictures are crap.

I am amused by the item itself:



. . .  
** expired/removed eBay auction **




I can understand using the phrase and graphics on a poster, paperholder, or bookmark.  But why would I want "Speak Friend and Enter" on a belt buckle?  Who would be speaking at that height level, and what exactly would be happening with my pants?   8O
