Baited breath

Yes, you're right. The Diorama is actually a collection or real people being tortured for my amusement. I want hte actor who PLAYED Nightcrawler. Not the action figure.

Seriously, it actually isn't really a diorama. It's more just all my action figures posed, though most of them are set up to be interacting with at least two or three others. For example, Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes, and Darth Maul are in a rumble against Luke, Quigon, and Mace Windu; and Spider Man is swinging in to save a perpetually grinning MJ from  a threatening Venom while the OTHER spidey, the Scarlet Spider, and Daredevil form an uneasy alliance with Venom to battle some mysterious force no one can see but is vaguely over my head somethere (they're all shooting/looking at something up in the air). I really have no excuse for the X-Men though, they're merely lined up in a way that seems balanced and pleasing to me around Prof X (Logan, Storm, and Rogue on one side, with Jean, Cyclops, and Mystique on the other -- no idea where I'll put Nightcrawler when/if I get him).

If someone were ever to write your diorama as a comic book, it would be the ULTIMATE crossover, Saint.  Hands down.

[Fellfrosch]

Mr. P, I laugh out loud every time I see your signature. Just thought I'd let you know.

I have a collection of superheroes on my desk, but right now it looks like they're all fighting against a horrid combination of a giant plastic bag and malaise. Mainly because I haven't set them up yet.

[Mr_Pleasington]

Currently I have a stuffed duck in a raincoat holding a carrot that sings and dances to "Splish Splash" when you press his hand.

It was an Easter gift from my mom.  Still don't know why she got it or what to do with it.

@Fell:  Thanks! Even with the normal hilarity of Spriggan's typos, this one took the cake.  You're a laugh a minute, Sprig!

I have an 18" Godzilla whose hand fires when you press his elbow. I'll match him up against your duck anyday.

I really need to take pictures and post them somewhere. I have the coolest desk in the universe. Between the "Masked Platypus" on my computer monitor to the Simpsons stack dolls (purchased in Moscow) to the Battle Toad, I exudes nerliness.

[Mr_Pleasington]

You have a Battletoad!

As in the guys from the old NES game that absolutely ruled?

If so, I bow to the power of your diorama.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Yes, as in those battle toads. He's not doing much as it is. mostly just holding his gun backward and pointing in anger vaguely at the ceiling. I ran out of space and other figures for him to interact with. Perhaps I could put him up agains the little bot thing that I have, or combat Jango Fett, who's not doing anything but climbing the cube wall.

I have a few lil' dudes on my desk that I like to play with when nobody is looking (although I would simply deny it).  I have Dexter Jettster, Gimli, and Popeye the Sailor.  They are my Warriors Three, wandering the land far and wide in search of nasties to defeat and vile-tempered old women to help across the street against their will.  Sometimes they are joined by The Maxx (one of the very few Maxx figures I have ever seen, and am lucky enough to own).  Every now and then, they go up against my 18" Alien figure (who even still has his extending tongue).  When they are feeling especially frisky, they chase down my cat and engage her in mortal combat.  They have yet to win.

I'd kind of like to get a couple of hte LOTR figures. and I'd really like to find the Starcraft figures for cheap. But it's a money issue, I think

[Spriggan]

I've got a Mcfarlin Ash and Evil Ash figures, and a Ryu (from street fighter 3) figure that's not McFarlin but is pretty close in quality.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

I have a lot of those little robot thingys. I forget what they were called, Z Bots maybe. They're cool little things. I have/had some TMNT figures, a few Spider-Man figures, one of those is from the latest series from the movie. There's other stuff too I'm sure, just too lazy to actually look through that box of old stuff I have.

[Entsuropi]

I used to keep my latest warhammer purchases on top of my monitor, so i could bask in their glory.

Unfortunately, my monitor is on an incline, so they kept on falling off. I miss having a small army arranged on top of the PC when i played RTS games...

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

You know Gemm, I think *my* robot thingy is a "z-bot" or something like it. That's the term I wanted to use. Were those the little plastic robots that were popular about 7 or 8 years ago?
