Hey All,
A couple months ago I encountered at Barnes & Noble a cool “solitaire” set with tiki playing pieces. The pieces looked like they’d be fun for a savage worlds island, but as the set cost $20, I was unwilling to risk that they’d be the wrong size (especially as I don’t actually play savage worlds games). However, last week I found them in the clearance bin for only $10, so I decided it was time to take a chance.
Here’s the box, in case you feel like searching the clearance bins at your own local B&N:
I brought it home, opened the plastic wrapping, and breathed in the heady smell of resin. Ahhhh. And inside I discovered a bag of 33 perfectly-scaled, resin/plastic (can't tell which) tikis, in three styles. Here they are in their natural element, so to speak (sorry for the blurry picture):
I chopped them down a little bit and threw them on my favorite base, an American penny (shh – don’t tell the Treasury), and here they are:
As you can see, they’re not bad out of the box, and might not even need to be painted. Nevertheless, I whipped out the Vallejos and got to work:
And, cause I know you’ll ask, the money shot, with a couple Foundry pirates for scale:
Thirty-three tikis for $10; not bad, huh?
