Scary toys
« on: September 10, 2009, 11:29:19 AM »
Here's a little diversion that found itself creeping onto the paint table.

You always knew that your toys came alive when you turned the light out, didn't you?

















And finally, the toy maker that created these nursery horrors:



Toy minis are from Monolith/Graven Images - actually in their 40mm range, but work perfectly at 28mm. The last mini is the Celestial Toymaker from BTD's Doctor Who range.

Enjoy - and don't have nightmares!

Nice, but incompatible. Monolith is 40mm and BTD is 28mm, isn't it?

I don't think there's an international convention on acceptable sizes for evil toys. A large jack in the box is simply...large.

I really like the Cheshire Cat and the bear.

Very nice!! I like them a lot!

And why shouldn't animated evil toys from hell not grow while they're at it?

Those would be great for doing the last half hour of "Blade Runner" in miniature.

I think they should be small, I remember the toys in Bladerunner. But in general you are right...

I love those little chaps!

I've always had a soft spot for Napoleon, so your version is my favourite figure here. The scariest is that clown though - he has the eyes of a psychopath with a really jolly smile. Quite fitting really  lol

These are fantastic!

The evil toys from Reaper would go well with the squad
