That was great, Gary! Really enjoyed that

Thanx! The post cards were fun to put together.

Excellent stuff Dave! really gave me a chuckle! Love the set up of the waiting room, and f course the banter between these two. He really is quite lapse isn't he? Still at least he found what he was looking for

When I first got this figure, the character I had in mind for it was going to be serious and highly skilled; perhaps the most competent character in my "figure world." This is another case of the character evolving on its own in a direction that was not originally intended.

Strangely enough, Erika von Stroheim was supposed to be a serious and somewhat competent adversary for Kamiko, and look how she turned out.

I liked this installment, with its contained (figuratively and literally) doze of chaos. I hope they didn't miss that train. Still confused by Baffling or Baffin Island (and if the latter, whether it is the same as Baffinland).

Sometimes I wonder if Fräulein Erika isn't "acting" to an extent as a manipulative ploy and a survival-escape mechanism. But... no, she's just nuts, isn't she?

Thanks! I liked how this segment turned out as well. "Self contained," as you observe, and not really relying on any knowledge of backstory or prior installments.

Great stuff! Love the bad guy, can't wait to see more of him!

Excellent setting, lighting, and overall photography! I am totally digging the costumes you're creating: the leather goggles, 'natch; and the new commander is stylishly intimidating!

Does the poor guy have any idea what he's getting in to with this crew? Will he be able to turn them in to a terrifying fighting force, or will they reduce him to a sobbing, pathetic psychological wreck?

Isnt Rancho Cucamonga not in California?

Yes, it is!

Apparently there used to be a separate smaller town called Cucamonga, which was joined with two others to make present Rancho Cucamonga in 1977. That's why the old Looney Toons cartoons only referenced Cucamonga.

Cucamonga was referenced because it sounded silly, like Azusa and Anaheim. When this sketch was first broadcast, very few people in America had even heard of Anaheim. The big joke is that while Cucamonga and Azusa are along Route 66 which parallels the route of the Santa Fe Super Chief at this point, Anaheim on a completely different line and no train would have ever covered all three destinations.

That was immensely entertaining!!

loads of fun ideas! (that alien and the penguin... LOL... love that Cumberbatch figure!)
