Vestigial Update

Alright, let me first thank anyone who has ever visited this blog in the years it has been up.  I very seldom return to Blogger to update something or just check in and see what's happened, but when I do this page's page-count always astounds me.

Alright so I *may* begin with renewed interest submitting to this as I renew my ability to purchase and spend actual money.  [Grad school + living expenses + minor semblance of life] leave a lot to be desired.  The largest influx I've recently obtained will be all 3 series of Bones.  I do not plan on photo-dropping each and every one of them in here, but we'll see.

Now I would like to point out that I have had PRECISELY ZERO contacts from any of you web surfers actually helping me out with these like I originally set this up to do.  I might have had 2 messages in all this time: one thanking me for taking the time, and another asking me a couple of miniature questions.  I am now a few years older and wiser so I will likely go try to fill in a few of these "?" blanks if I can find anything, but still ask if you know of any to let me know. :D  My Email is listed.

I have also learned that some of these already listed are NOT exclusives.  Different companies purchased and recycled old molds or masters OR released the same miniature multiple times over its lifespan.  I don't know how I'll resolve this, but just wanted to admit my ignorance on this when I originally began.

I will also be culling a lot of my stuff via ebay in the coming months so expect an update when I list something.

Sculptor:
Manufacturer:

Item No:
Year Released:

Quantity:
Additional Notes:

Uncomfirmed information or guesses, visual discriptions will be denoted in red until a time when I can confirm them.

A Simple Head's Up.

I am creating this blog for the soul purpose of identifying and posting my miniatures that I am only just now starting to collect. I will try to provide as much information as possible that I have confirmed, but also take the time to list any relevant data that may help myself or anyone interested in identifying some of them.

I highly seek out any individuals or websites they can refer me to that will aide in my endeavour. I have purchased a few blister sets myself, but quite a few have come to me through garage sales and ebay without any official documentation. If I do ever seek out any additional copies of these figures for whatever reason the more I know, the better.

As an aside I will also post photos of them (mine) along with painted renditions of them as they strike my fancy. I will not be painting mine. I may one day stain them in a manner to bring out the fine details, but overall I actually like the metallic finish on most of mine (painted, plastic figures not with-standing).

As I get pictures taken by whatever means are necessary, I will use this as the photoalbum:
