Hmm. Perhaps you can get such things in those strange new-age/esoterism/pothead-shops that you find in bigger cities (at least in germany)....

Nice. And the perfect size as well.

I'll be heading to San Francisco in about 2 weeks. I'll have to wander through the Chinatown section and see what wholesale shops I can find that might have things like this.

I've got one just like it, which I bought in one of those New Age shops that smell of incense and you can buy books on aromatherapy and Buddhism and getting rich by creating positive vibrations. From tropical, orchid-scented Ashville, North carolina if I recall.

I just bought a couple of quite fine resin Buddha statuettes (Indian rather than Chinese types) for about the price of a paperback novel apiece, in that hotbed of the exotic east, Toronto.

I bet you've got that sort of shop in your neck of the woods as well -- H

I was showing off my painted pulp miniatures as I painted them a while back on several forums before this one came about.  While I know a few off you here from before, there are some new faces.  So for those that have not seen, here they are
http://www.displacedminiatures.com/fatgoblin/images.html?galleryId=1030&from=Pulp+Fu

Our gaming group had a better gallery but the thing is dead at the moment (again!)  So thats a link to my displaced minis gallery.  Some of the pics are resized weirdly but you can have a look anyways!
