It's one of the rules of the hobby, as
applied to shows particularly, but also a useful general rule, that if you see
something and you like it and you can afford it, you should get it, as it won't
be there if you come back for it later.
It's one of those self-prophesying rules
that play on our tendency to doom and gloom, because actually if you return,
you often get the thing you left on the previous pass, but it's the occasions
when you don't that seem to reinforce the rule and build to this empirical 'mountain'
of missed opportunities in your head!
I should have bought this, as I've been
back three times and they haven't got another one in!
Branded to '3DMagic' with an accompanying website and licensed from Irwin RX of Toronto, Canada, this Fortress Battle Set is imported by Mookie Toys a newish name, but one we've
seen here before recently; the Italian Buzzbee
clearance in PoundworldPlus just
before it's demise.
I left it because I thought 'Eight-quid for three figures? Nah, not worth
it', but when I thought about it, with three coloured-gel bottles, it's
nine figures if you only make one of each, which is less than a pound-a-figure,
or around the average for figures at a show, so I should have got when I saw it
and happened to have a tenner on me . . . Hey Ho!
They don't look terribly militaristic;
grenade throwing (?), head-scratching and waving at a passing bus! But with a
spare's tub of old Airfix ' Multipose',
Italeri or Tamiya weapons, they could soon be knocked into shape for
deep-penetration missions behind the sofa!
Set with a UV-light 'oven', I'm not sure
how long they would last, or how robust they would prove to be, that 3D pen (a
rather disheartening experiment in barely-controlled squirt-extrusion) I bought
about a year ago in Lidl had
bio-degradable filament, if this is a similar polymer . . . ?
