I try to avoid it any more, since I don't want to become paranoid about possibly duplicating something from it. That could paralyze my efforts and interest in doing my own site. Also, I try to concentrate on skulls in the horror media or unusual manifestations in society, as opposed to "just" skull imagery wherever it shows up. I hope what I do is different enough to make the site worth visiting.<BR/><BR/>I have found a couple of other skull/skeleton-centric sites since starting, and although they may be better, I'm trying to bring my own personal spin to it, and not just rehash what's been done before.<BR/><BR/>Whether I'm successful or not has yet to be determined! :)<BR/><BR/>-Fred (that cute baby)Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868719487717506764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242243471346986264.post-36160618115690519942008-06-24T22:23:00.000-07:002008-06-24T22:23:00.000-07:00Looking forward to it Patrick!Fred, a fellow LOTT ...Looking forward to it Patrick!<BR/><BR/>Fred, a fellow LOTT D member mentioned this other skull blog, have you seen it?<BR/><BR/>http://skulladay.blogspot.com/Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242243471346986264.post-26039123276311557842008-06-24T16:35:00.000-07:002008-06-24T16:35:00.000-07:00Lemme see if I can find the photos of the Prisoner...Lemme see if I can find the photos of the Prisoner...

I see the Aurora re-issues all over the place, mostly the main monsters but I do see The Prisoner occasionally.<BR/><BR/>Those home photos are sweet though... I was never able to make my completed kits look that great, I bet Patrick's Prisoner looks freakin' scarier than the Bama painting on the box.Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242243471346986264.post-47211079022868064022008-06-24T10:05:00.000-07:002008-06-24T10:05:00.000-07:00Patrick,glad you grokked it!

The Aurora site seems un-updated for quite a while and I can't get them to answer emails. Also the Polar Lights site has it nowhere that I can see.<BR/><BR/>You know what I'm thinking? I'm thinking of doing a life-size re-creation for a Halloween display... yeah, how cool would that be?Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868719487717506764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242243471346986264.post-19829320903110166892008-06-24T09:47:00.000-07:002008-06-24T09:47:00.000-07:00Great post Fred!

I owned this kit as a youngster, a prized gift from my Dad, who fortunately was into vintage horror films and was very loving and supportive of my weird ways. Of course, being 5 or 6, I did a lousy job building this, and somewhere over the years it got trashed as so many awesome collectibles do. Fast forward some 20 odd years, and I noticed an ad for the re-release of this kit in a FMOF magazine. I ordered it so fast I didn't even have time to think about it. The Prisoner is now one of my cell mates in my art studio/dungeon at home again. I love the idea of putting in some LED lights in his eye sockets! Long live the Prisoner- even if he is already dead!!Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669433979334259774noreply@blogger.com
