2 COOL MOVIE TRAILERS

THE DARK LURKING:
SYNOPSIS:
Something has gone terribly wrong at Outpost 30, a secret international research facility some five hundred meters beneath the snow blown arctic wilderness. All communications are gone, all means of escape destroyed and an extremely dangerous horde of ancient creatures is on the loose after a doorway to an unspeakable evil has been unleashed.



An Australian production to trump Hollywood's DOOM.... the movie that DOOM should have been??? One thing's for sure.... COOL LOOKIN ARMOUR SUITS.


SOLOMON KANE


From the creator of CONAN..... demon slaying in Van Helsing look alike getup....

FOX UNIT: SNAKE


Surely.... one of the coolest characters in gaming history, dating back almost 2 decades. A bash in my 'to do list' for the longest time ever, the others being.... (never mind).

The only ever 1/6 release for this character line was by a Jap company who probably manage to snagged the license. Problem was the price tag for this box figure is way too steep & i sure as hell won't pay above $200 for some Real(short) Arse Hero no matter how much i like the character. Phenomenally, some local Bird-brain distributor even had a restock at a pre-order price of $240 though the figure had already been released 3-4 years....(clearing excess unsold stock???)

Anyhow back to the bash which was do-able with the amount of 1/6 lose gears out there though not 100% game accurate. Body was one of my recycled HT Truetypes with commissioned work on the HT Nam Navy Seal h/s. Balance are mainly TS e.g. tiger strip, M1956 gear set with some unknowns in the accessories dept. Should have also styled the hair with some wax/clay but never got down to it coz haven't tried it before & didn't want to ruin the hair.

So end of day, a much more satisfying figure for $100 or less (not counting parts i had) & not $240 poorer, u do the math....

Relive The 60s, Relive The Cold War....

Browsing thru' OSW forum today & saw quite a few postings on 60s Vietnam bashes.

Got me feeling nostalgic & remembered the excellent MGS3 Snake Eater which had a Cold War era theme as well. Not to mention the almost forgotten Snake Eater theme song by Cynthia Harrel crafted with an opening movie intro to resemble an old school 007 movie opening trailer.

Perhaps its time to plug in my dusty PS2 again & relive MGS3 & at the same time come up with a bash of its main protagonist in the game's 60s Cold War setting....
