Now, I should say about Crooligans, that I have never used them. I have never even looked at their card properly. And yet, I have, at last count, at least 9 of the little so and so's. This includes 2 sets of Molly M2E box, and a pack of the old metal ones. I'm never going to use 9 Crooligans. I doubt I will even use 6 of them (3 metal, and 3 plastic)
Which brings us to the curse of Molly. Molly is a master that I quite like thematically, and while the 1.5 sculpt is not the prettiest, I have 2 of them, and they have a certain characterful charm. I also have the most cursed M2E Molly box ever. I bought the box from E-Bay. I then built it as part of the lets build everything in one big batch fit of madness that I had a while ago. During that, by the end models were thrown together for speed rather than accuracy, and I've been regretting it ever since. A consequence of this, was, during the building of the Necrotic Machine, I lost part of one of the arms. I spent an hour hunting in the carpet, and eventually gave it up as lost. Thats fine, I've got a metal one somewhere. Of course, in the haste, when I came back to look at Philip, well, lets just say that you could drive a real pram through the gaps.
Long story short, when I got the chance, I picked up a very cheap Molly box off of E-bay. Which would be fine. Except that, when trying to put Molly on a base today, I snapped her supporting ankle off of both her temporary base, and the model. And it went into the deepest, darkest depths of the carpet behind the desk. I swore, I cursed, I complained. And then I got lucky enough to find it. Lets just hope that it is the start of a new streak of luck for Molly.
Without further ado, the pictures.

I can't decide if I need to pick a feature on the one on the left to pull out in colour or not |
