Out of the Toybox (6): Wild Things and Warriors

Here is the wonderful McFarlane series of Where the Wild Things Are, with such accurate sculpts that they even mimic the hatch work of Maurice Sendak’s original drawings. I suppose I should have kept them pristine in their boxes, because they have absolutely no playability, and even just displaying them out of the box is difficult, because some of them are so heavy they do not remain upright, even with their bases (to which their feet do not always adhere properly). Even so, they strike close to childhood memories.

And here is a selection of warriors, blurry though they be. It is hard to get proper focus on these large groups; I am still experimenting on how to take better pictures. Standing up the figures on the desk seems to be best, as I can steady my camera hands better and get brighter lighting. But these are, again, mainly McFarlane toys, and they aren’t really designed to stand off their bases (it would be hard at this late date to sort out the correct ones), detailed though the sculpts are. Some are from Spawn, some are McFarlane’s Six Faces of Madness (Rasputin and Vlad the Impaler), there are a couple from McFarlane’s Conan line, Beowulf from the disappointing CGI film, and two NECA Conan movie figures.  In the same drawer but not shown in the line-up ('cause it's broken) is Grendel's Mother.
