in honour of our friend, and my cousin, mike, the thursday night heros proudly present MAX and CAROL, the first pair of miniatures for our yearly tournament.
as many here know, mike was killed in action in afganistan over 3 years ago. we now honour his memory through our october tourny.
the characters are based on the picture book, WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE. mike and i loved the book, and while talking about what would make great bb players, we agreed that the beasts in the book would be awsome.
the figures were sculpted by rykar, and he is on board to design a new monster from the book each year. to start the ball rolling, rykar has sculpted carol, the wild things "chief" and max, the little boy who went to the island where the wild things made their home.
the set includes max, carol and pictured base. figures and base are pewter, and price is $25usd plus shipping. 50 copies were cast of each, and i'm sorry, but i can't break up the sets.
funds from the sale are going to venue rental and down payment for the 2014 figure(douglas). a donation will also be given to pa's fallen soldier fund.
misses bound for glory painted these.

Those look fantastic John.
If my wallet wasn't running on fumes I'd get a set out of your hands this second!

Oh, and congrats to your better half, for the paint job. Add some flock on those bases and they're ready for pitch action!
:)

Don't mention it.
You guys (The Thursday Night Hero's) deserve it and as you mentioned, it's all for a good cause.

I'm just surprised those few "Max'es and Carol's" haven't flown away to someone else's place just yet.
Still, even if they don't go right away don't stress too much, since you'll be casting more of the book/movie characters (next and the following years), that will certainly increase their "collectability".
