custom fyoog...

G4G,

I am so sorry! I know that I told you to keep an eye on the Fyoog, but on my last expedition to Mo Island I thought it would be a great idea to take the Fyoog along for some heavy labor.
He was great support until we have been attacked by some creatures that I did not come across so far. He protected me well and disappeared right afterwards. Guess it was about some broken circuits.
I found him few weeks later using the locating unit you have installed lately! He seems to be fine, but needs some fixing and a new paint job soon!

I will manage that and keep you up to date! I hope all the other prototypes run fine too!

Sorry again!

Resting Monster Mate Canvas ... (sold)

Mates,

got up this morning and felt like painting a canvas.. it´s been some time I did that...

The ones owning one of my monster toys already know about the habits of Monster Mates for all the others:

... As Monster Mates usually hunt at night time, they rest during the day.
In order to avoid attacks while resting, they developed a simple
one-of-a-kind way to hide. Using their strong front legs, they
dig a shallow dell in the ground, to fit their head and limbs, leaving only
their massive backs visible...

I also worked on a new mold for Mates and casted a new run on friday, so that DIY Mates are available again! :)

Cheers for looking!
