From ClintB (Paint Monkey) - Not an Anti Hero but a gift for Fran (7 Points)

The hero came from the WEST, the far west, the Irish west. A land of black marshes and emerald green fields. A land of the lilting voice and attractive women and notably less attractive men! Not all men for sure, but one Kung Fu Panda.

Most of you will know Fran, (the Angry Lurker) by reputation if not in person. But for me I feel my life has been improved by knowing the "Fecker!" And Now the "Fecking Feck is absol-fecking-lutly fecking off to his fecking own fecking country. The Fecker!" Or words to that effect.

So I present .....


Francis who Postie has nicknamed "Kung Fu Panda" (Ray has a less polite name for him), but there you go. So when I came across this figure by "Bombshell Miniature" I Knew I would make a gift of it to him (The Fecker) not Ray the "Ejit Fecker". It is supposedly a 28mm miniature but must have shrunk while on the big screen as I think it is much more like a 20mm figure. So I am guessing 4 points. (Which should stop me tieing with Milsy).



You will be missed Fran, but only because we are not very good at aiming!
So FECK OFF!

From Curt:
A wonderful figure, Clint and a great going away gift for Fran. I love his bamboo staff and the gold rimmed base - class!  
Though his stature may be 20mm we know he has the attitude of at least a 40mm warrior: 7 points!
