AFT: Jack and the Thinker

[dieastra]

I made this story as a thank you for someone on Tumblr who always reblogs all my pictures and seems to like Figma. The Thinker is the only Figma figure I own so far but I also have the David and the Venus statue on pre-order. These are awesome, come with several hands and two heads and bodies for many different poses. Check here for more detailed

Haha, this is hilarious! Also, I totally did not realize that famous sculpture action figures were a thing. O.o

Haha, this is hilarious!

Thank you ;) I really just wanted to bring that Figma loving person joy. So I was thinking what I could do with my Thinker. And so one led to the other ;) I love getting inspirations like that.

A while ago I made a story for the thousandth person who liked one of my stories at Tumblr. I looked and apparently she is a fan of the Tenth Doctor and Batman. So I thought about what I could do with these two and this is now one of the best I’ve ever done, I am very proud of it (not sure if we were friends already when I did that): http://dieastra.livejournal.com/188461.html

Also, I totally did not realize that famous sculpture action figures were a thing. O.oI hadn’t realized either! But I am a member of a Facebook group and other action figure forums and someone somewhere always posts an interesting link. And once I see it, I HAVE to have it (wait till you see what I bought the other day, can’t wait for it to arrive). I never had heard of Figma before as

Look, there is now also a figure of that DaVinci man with many legs and arms. I think I'll skip that one, it's too creepy ;) Although from other pictures I see you can put him together normally also:

And how do you like this one? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ci6hgf_XIAIMz1y.jpg

I actually saw the da Vinci one on Tumblr the other day -- it looks creepy but also pretty awesome!

I was wondering if the Venus would have arms or what, heh.

Cool idea!

Thanks ;) Sometimes I do wonder what my brain does.

Figma figures are definitely awesome! I usually get mine from either CD Japan or Hobbylink Japan (both have English pages).

Will there be a continuation where Jack joins him on the lawn? XD

I don't remember where I got the Thinker, but the two new figures are ordered at Play-Asia.com Imagine what we would do without the internet!

Hehe, not sure - should I?
