Uemura's Reflections on the Mind of Plato

Sideshow and Acro present the Gill Beast: Namazu (EX Version) Vinyl Collectible.Comment from James Groman:I first saw the amazing 1954 film, Creature from the Black Lagoon when it was shown (in the original 3D format!) at our local Library when I was a kid. I could not get the film out of my head for weeks afterward, and took advantage of any opportunity to talk about it with anyone that would listen to me. I was obsessed with the incredible design of the Creature himself, which was a marvel of design, sculpting and rubber monster suit tech at the time.Over the years I've had a couple chances to sculpt the Creature, as well as Creature-like sea monsters very much inspired by the gill-man.As my toy design career began to have a renewed success a number of years back, I took the time to design and sculpt my own aquatic gill-beast very much inspired by The Creature. I began to show the sculpture around to different companies, and was so excited to get interest from Kaz.Kadowaki and his Ja…

Hilarisch reisverslag van een voetreis met een koelkast door Ierland. On his only prior visit to Ireland, songwriter/comic Tony Hawks had seen a man hitchhiking with a refrigerator. For years, he was wont to tell the tale during late-night drinking matches, and after one particularly heavy-duty night of partying, he awoke to find a bet scrawled pillow-side: a friend wagered 100 pounds that Hawks wouldn't travel Ireland for a month with a refrigerator at his side. Out of this stupid premise, a ridiculously amusing book was born. Quickly discovered by the Irish media, the thumbing Englishman finds that he and his box fridge are elevated to celebrity status, and there's no dearth of rides, places to stay or goofy people to meet, from kings to spoons players to locals who take his fridge surfing. As insightful about the strange inner workings of Hawk's mind as it is about charming peculiarities of Irishmen--it's doubtful that Hawks would have been similarly embraced by Germans, Italians, …

Birds of Central Asia is the first field guide to include the former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, along with neighbouring Afghanistan. This vast area includes a diverse variety of habitats, and the avifauna is similarly broad, from sandgrouse, ground jays and larks on the vast steppe and semi-desert to a broad range of raptors, and from woodland species such as warblers and nuthatches to a suite of montane species, such as snowcocks, accentors and snowfinches. Birds of Central Asia includes 141 high-quality plates covering every species (and all distinctive races) that occur in the region, along with concise text focusing on identification and accurate colour maps. Important introductory sections introduce the land and its birds. Birds of Central Asia is a must-read for any birder or traveller visting this remote region.   "For a long time, there's been something of a gap in field-guide coverage across the Palearctic. Europe is w…

The 20th Anniversary of The Lord of The Rings movies has a special significance to us here at the Workshop, and we are delighted to commemorate the upcoming event with a brand-new series of iconic Middle-earth figures. Let the celebrations begin!With the loss of Gandalf and the breaking of the Fellowship, many would be forgiven for falling to despair, but not Aragorn. Most would call it a fool's errand, chasing down the roving band of elite Uruk-hai to rescue Merry and Pippin, but not Aragorn. Brave, tenacious, and kind-hearted, Aragorn proved time again the worth and strength of his character. Solidifying his position as a defender of peace within Middle-earth.While Frodo and Sam pick their way slowly towards Mordor through the labyrinthine Emyn Muil, Merry and Pippin are captives of the brutal Uruk-hai. Snatched during the raid at Amon Hen, the Hobbits are slung like luggage on the broad backs of the tireless Uruks, who run day and night through broken hills and across the rolling pl…

Please heed Kannazuki Noboru's illustration of a kind-hearted saint.YOU CAME TO GET OLIVIA-SAMA'S HOLY WATER, TOO? We've run out of today's portion, so please come back tomorrow morning.My wife and I were bedridden, but as soon as we started drinking Olivia-sama's holy water, we were healed! I hope you recover from your illness too!But.. they never show anyone how the holy water is made. The saint must be praying all night for us. She's like a goddess, always smiling without showing any signs of trouble!An unimaginable and secret late-night ritual is held far from the public.While I believe this act should be stopped as soon as possible,Expectations and pleas for help should not be ignored or betrayed.She tells herself that this is a justified ritual to save the people and that there is no evil intention.Yet she knowingly turns her eyes away from the fact that she finds joy and delight every night....A figure contrary to the desire to be modest.Kannazuki Noboru drew a holy and heartfel…

For the first time ever, Exo-6 brings you the iconic Klingon General Chang, as portrayed by the legendary Christopher Plummer, in a stunning sixth scale figure that will transport you back to the final frontier. This is not just a figure. it's a piece of Star Trek history, meticulously crafted to stimulate your memories and ignite your inner Trekker.In Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, General Chang was the ruthless and poetic antagonist who sought to maintain the hostility between the Klingon Empire and the Federation. With a warrior's flair and a penchant for quoting Shakespeare mid-battle, Chang was a formidable foe for Captain Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise.Christopher Plummer decided he wasn't comfortable with the typical Klingon make-up and requested to be bald and more human looking, creating a unique look for a Klingon not seen in Star Trek before. Our artists have captured the essence of Christopher Plummer's performance with a lifelike hand-painted head sculpt …

Release from 2013 featuring Elvis Presley´s complete performances of May 3, 1975 (Afternoon Show on Volume 3, Evening Show on Volume 4) at the Civic Center in Monroe/LA.Both shows have not been released on cd so far and will be presented in real good sound for an audience recording.Although the “King” had turned 40 in January 1975, it seemed like there was never-ending demand for Elvis.Even during this tour (known as “Tour Number 13”) he had to play several shows in the same city to make people happy.When the Colonel worked out the route for the tour, one of his rules was, that it didn't make sense to plan every day in advance.He contacted the management of venues and gave his O.K. to start selling tickets. In case the tickets sold like fresh bread,the management had the chance to ask for a second show, or if the demand was there, for a third one.During this tour, Elvis played 2 shows in Tampa, FL; the demand in Lakeland caused him to play a total of three gigsand to stay one more day …
