you've done a beautiful job with this site, paul! i like the masks and
helmets as decorative motifs on the pages.
well, i dug out my mania magazines to furnish you with some names:
from september ~ october 1997 Mania Magazine:
U.F.O. ~
the 'fig with the black helmet, dark grey armour and trans orange head is
the leader, ALPHA DRACONIS. notorious for his ugliness and bad breath.
the other aliens aren't named, but their home world is identified as "the
planet Humorless". the blue one with the trans green head has always struck
me as being a female. don't ask.
oddly enough, the red robot is identified as ANDY DROID, and linked to a
bygone theme!:
"in one of those unbelievable-but-true stories, Andy is really Explorien
Ann Droid's brother. The Aliens reprogammed Andy to help them take over the
galaxy. But every time Andy sees Ann, he gets a strange tingling in his
memory banks, so maybe one day he will find his lost sister."
hmph. i know how he feels. every time i see older lego sets, i get a
strange tingling too. so maybe one day TLC will find its' lost soul?
later ~ craig~
