My main problem with them (and Dr. kilroy/lightning) is their glasses.

[ahem] . . .  WIZARDS!!! :-)

I can't picture medieval people with glasses.
I might be wrong here but it seems as though glasses were invented
much later... Just my 2 cents.

No, actually, IIRC (from *reading* about it,
not from firsthand experience) :-P
spectacles were invented in the Late Dark Ages/Early Rennaisance.
They weren't very *good*, being simply generic lenses,
very unlike the specialized lightweight wonders we've got today,
but they were (mostly) better than nothing.

OK... then I guess I *can* bring those faces to good use! Thanks!

Dr. Kilroy's torso w/suspenders is the most ridiculous thing
I've ever seen, BTW. I have yet to find a use for that...

White "Kilroy" Torso
Red Plastic Cape, over the *FRONT* of the torso
(represents a *tabard*; conceals the suspenders;
I've got some heraldic decals from Games Workshop
that I'll use on this someday...)
Generic Smiley
Black Legs
Black "Bullet" Helmet
Gold Bugle

He's a *Herald*!  :-)

Cool!
