Two peas in a long pod...
My Soom Antares finally arrived today! Ordered him back at the beginning of February, took three months to pay him off since, you know, we're talking Soom here. Although, DollShe has now set the waiting bar as high as it will go, so Soom really seems tame in comparison.
Anywhoo! Meet Barsoom! Or, Bart, for short. Long naming story short: Antares = Not Mars, therefore I had to name him Mars (Mars the Not Mars). Edgar Rice Burroughs named Mars Barsoom in his John Carter books. In a Biblical sense, Barsoom means Son of Soom. So there you have it. Mars the Not Mars, Son of Soom.
Or Bart, for short. ~_^
After settling on a pair of 12mm gray glass eyes, we hauled him out to Pawnee Prairie Park with Marcus, my Sabik, and took some introductory photos.
Marcus on the left here, Bart on the right.
One happy and above it all, the other... just a bit peeved.
Looks like they're conspiring against me for taking them out in 100 degree weather, wearing all black, and coats/jackets at that!
I like this last shot better than the one above it, but I like the other one better for showing more of Bart's face - so you're stuck with both of them. ^__^
