Buddha Warrior Statue from Petco
« on: February 27, 2014, 03:59:48 AM »
FYI, Petco has these on sale cheap right now.


Hollow resin, prepainted greenish grey with gold detailing [though I'll repaint mine] 7" tall and for only $2.49 each.  ;D
I got 3 so far!

They're in the lizard decor section, not fish aquarium stuff.
Name: Buddha Warrior Large
by Blue Ribbon Pet Products
And no its not on the Petco website, I looked.

Good hunting.

Thanks for that link, I've bought one, p&p was £1.95 first class so quite reasonable. I bought a couple of other ornaments as well as Amalric's great find. I will post a photo here when they arrive.

I had no idea the lizards rated their own decor.  What have I been missing all these years by limiting my visits to the fish?  You've open my eyes to a whole new world.  Really nice piece.  Thanks.  Richard

Here is some inspiration on how it might be used. I think you'll see below in these historic illustrations, blood thirsty heathen idols are often armed with nasty bits of cutlery.





Hmmm, how to articulate the sword arm?
Ray Harryhausen would know.

I got one today.   Additional heads-up these "blue ribbon cambodian temple ruins" are normally $32.99 Petco is having a giant sale and I got it for $3.50!
  It's 11" tall.

Holy Christmas Biscuits! Damn, I wish I had a Petco nearby now!

Anybody know if there's a store in Canada that carries those Petco products? (Petsmart does not).
