Hey Brendan,
Great as always.
Giants: LOL on the old-style figs with the big round heads. I've got one
of those from my first set (I think it was 111). I had been expecting a
bunch of Hagrids or Jack Stones, but these were funnier to me. The use of
insect antennae as grapes worked well. One thing I didn't like was the
torso on the guy featured in Num 13:27-28 (I think it's from one of the
Himalayan Adventurers sets). It seems anachronistic and doesn't fit with
the others (mostly various Jedis). OTOH, the new faces (basketball guy and
old mad Indian guy) are nice. Oh, that one guy cries gigantic tears! :)
God Dooms his People: Not as much here--lots of cloud talking. I do like
the "Let's stone them" "Yeah, with stones". I assume this sounds better in
the original, but in the translation it is a silly construction.
First Rebellion: More giant tears. The group with spears has a very
mob-like feel. It seems like they should have pitchforks and torches and be
heading up the hill to burn down Frankenstein's laboratory. The Amalekite
and Canaanite armies look cool (nice consistancy with the Amalekite army,
will you be able to keep that up and have different armies for each
different tribe they meet in Joshua and Judges?). How do they hold their
respective shields? Do the hands fit into those elements? Or do you have
some attachment on the back they're holding on to? Aftermath of the battle
is very gruesome. I like the choice of face in Numbers 14:45 for the
Israelite on the bottom right.
Sabbath-Breaker Stoned: Apparently when you gather wood in the wilderness
it comes in the form of nicely cut boards. ;) Good shocked face on the far
left in the first photo. I expected some comedy on the "stoning with
stones", something like "how should we stone this one?" "I don't know.
Let's just go with stones again." Final photo very gruesome.
Where to now? Are you planning on continuing straight through the
historical OT books? Or break it up by jumping back to the NT. I was
thinking this morning that it will be fun to see your take on more poetic
things like the Psalms or Isaiah where it isn't straight narrative.
