Everyone's gotta have a charm or collectible on their desk to look at as they draw or study.
This is an assortment of figures I keep on my desk in dorm to kind of glance at every now and then when inspiration comes a knocking.
And they pretty much embody me entirely.
In the forefront of them all are my Pokemon figurines. At least six out of nine of the Eeveelutions are here: Flareon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Espeon, Umbreon and Sylveon. It'd be so cool to have Leafy, Glacy and Eevee here too. Regular Eevee isn't easy to find. O.o
Alongside them is Pancham and Helioptile. These are pretty cute I must say. XD
Then there are the Kitty Katswell and Dudley figures. They came in a pack with Snaptrap and The Chameleon. I left those two back at home since Snaptrap was too pudgy and The Chameleon was amazingly too big. I might bring them back though on my next trip home. The Kitty figure is based off her original concept design; and it's kind of sucky. The Dudley one also ha a mismatched expression that doesn't go with his pose. Needless to say; the TUFF figurines could have been much better. But The Chameleon one is actually pretty cool. It's probably the best sculpted of the four.
Next to the duo is Vinyl Scratch. I picked this one up at a MdDonald's yesterday. I'm sure the employees there are used to guys asking for the girl toy it being MLP: FIM. I mean; I know more Bronies and MLP lovers than I do people who play Skylanders. XD I didn't buy the Happy Meal BTW: Just the toy and a regular meal. I don't plan on collecting them all: just the Vinyl Scratch one since I like its design the best of them all. ;D
Above her is a Crash Bandicoot figurine I found at a garage sale. It's apparently hard to come by and i snatched it up for a dollar. For a simple little figure it's well done.
Behind him is a figurine of Cecil Harvey from Final Fantasy IV. While fanboys rage war on which is the best: Final Fantasy VI or VII....I sit in the BG and hold Final Fantasy IV as among the series' finest. Cecil's character and story is by far one of the more interesting as he is a knight torn between duty and doing what is right. As one of the earlier titles to set the tone for an expansive cast and story arc the series would be known for....Final Fantasy IV is still among the series' finest IMO.
And below Cecil is Charizard. Still one of my all time faves. XD
And lastly a finely detailed sculpt of an Allosaurus. This is a still model but it's in a dramatic pose with great attention to detail on the muscles and the other various features a dinosaur model should have. This makes me wish I collected the Resaurus models when they were back in production.
So these are my "Desk Muses" so to say. Especially the Eeveelutions...those little guys vibrant colors and cheery faces are inspiring all their own. ;D
Actually there is something else there too for inspiration....games. Check it out...Professor Layton and Pokemon Black and White.
Oh and where's my Mai Ling sculpt you ask? It's on the shelf above this one. ;D
