I've just realised how 'samey' the poses are - hadn't struck me before. That of course means I'll have to pick up a load more and do some converison work  lol

Great job! Also love the eyes. I remember having (a few...) of those as a wee kiddie.

Gravel could do with a paint up, when left unpainted it kinda looks out of scale as it were/

Nice googly eyed fishboys in an old skool colour scheme.

I agree about the unpainted gravel, it looks too "real" next to the painted Deep Ones, like mixing live-action actors with cell animation.  I think they'd have a smoother, more uniform look if you painted the bases, too.

But that's a nitpick - these are some great old figures, nicely done!

Mirliton hasn't released the trident-carrying one yet, but you can get all the others, including the special release Mi-go with fork and bib.

Suddenly my appetite has changed and I'll never look at a plate of peas the same way again.  Ooh, they look tasty, though.
