You Don't By Chance Have Six Fingers On Your Right Hand?

I had just completed my first four figures from The Princess Bride here, when I found out that Antediluvian Miniatures were releasing a second set of TPB figures. Needless to say I was super excited, though admittedly I would have rather seen Miracle Max or the Albino than the Clergyman - but who knows, fingers crossed (all six) that maybe Antediluvian have another 4 TPB figures slated for this year :)

First up is the six fingered man himself, Count Rugen.

The Princess Bride

The impressive Clergyman

Prince Humperdinck

Here is Inigo Montoya on the old Likto bases that I used to exclusively use next to Rugen on my new thin clear base.

And now with Inigo's base switched. Because of his pose he is on a 1" base (25mm) compared to my preferred 3/4" base (20mm) that Rugen is on.

I swapped out the bases on the entire first group and I think you'll agree that these bases look way better than the Litko ones. The figures really just blend right into the environment. I've had a tutorial for these new bases in edit mode for months now, so hopefully I can get that one sorted soon and out for anyone interested.

And a quick thanks to new follower Vincent Penetier, appreciate you following the madness!

Until next time, thanks for looking!

And No More Rhymes Now, I Meant It! Anyone Want A Peanut?

I don't think you'll get much of an argument saying that The Princess Bride is a classic - it's amazing how well it still holds up almost 30 years after its initial release. I've had my eye on these figures from Antediluvian Miniatures for quite a while now and I'm ecstatic that I finally have them ready to put onto the tabletop.

How cool is Fezzik? Doesn't even exercise, and no longer unemployed in Greenland, he has a wonderful gift of rhyme, but only some of the time. The likeness to Andre The Giant is spot on imho.

Inigo Montoya ready to exact revenge on the six fingered man. Currently working for Vizzini to pay the bills, there's not a lot of money in revenge.

Westley, the hero farm boy, sans mask - which is a bit disappointing because I hear they are terribly comfortable, everyone should be wearing them in the future.

Vizzini explaining how never to fall victim to one of the classic bunders, the most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well known is never go in with a Sicilian when death is on the line.

Something I really would love to see is another set of figures from Antediluvian with Buttercup, Prince Humperdinck, Count Rugen (The Six Fingered Man), and maybe the Albino or Miracle Max - or better yet, if anyone has ideas for proxies from other manufactures of these characters I'd be all ears!

*editing this post as this morning I went back and looked at the Antediluvian site and they now have a second set of TPB figures with all those requested above, except the 4th is the priest - no Miracle Max or Albino. But the second set has been ordered :)*

I've got some more really neat Hollywood figures in the queue, so stay tuned :)

Thanks for looking!
