Roundup: Media's Take
This is where we excerpt articles from the media that take a historical approach to events in the news.

If Karl Marx had been alive in 2007, he would have been working for a bank. Banks had reached a state of communist perfection. The workers took home everything; the capital holders were left with nothing. Shareholders of banks were raped by the staff, who paid themselves extravagant sums out of illusory profits. Labour had found a far more effective device than trade unions for destroying capitalists, by duping the shareholders that higher pay was essential to retain Talent. They were assisted by the accountants, who allowed them to declare profits before they received any cash. Marx would have been laughing all the way from the bank.
We should hardly be surprised that the beneficiaries of the communist banking system are squealing. There are many siren warnings of the consequences of more regulation. Don't kill the golden goose, they say. Many in banking seem not to have noticed that they recently brought the world economy to its knees.
To be fair, the banks were not alone in their mistakes. Central banks set interest rates too low for too long; politicians believed they had abolished the business cycle and that a permanently higher level of public expenditure could be justified; too many citizens borrowed money they could never afford to repay. This type of mass self-delusion has characterised most booms in history. But it is the bankers who seem most reluctant to accept that change is necessary. They need rescuing from themselves. Counterintuitively, it is regulation that can reimpose a capitalist system on the banks...

You wouldn't think, judging by the horrific news coming out of Syria, that President Bashar al-Assad would have many defenders. But there are some. Many are Syrians who are close to his regime. Others are foreign well-wishers who have their own reasons for lending him their support. And some are even comparing the embattled Syrian president to Abraham Lincoln. Seriously.
One of the most interesting arguments that I've heard so far comes from the the president of the Institute for the Middle East in Moscow, a man with the evocative name of Yevgeny Satanovsky. In his article, Satanovsky assails the West for its alleged hypocrisy in condemning Assad:
Abraham Lincoln was lucky to have lived when he did. Surely he would have appeared a vicious tyrant had Twitter, Facebook, Al Jazeera, NATO and the UN existed when he encouraged the efforts of Union forces to suppress Confederate separatists. But Lincoln is an American national hero, a bastion of democracy and a martyr. It is quite possible that in the future these very same words will be used, at least in the Arab world, to describe Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who is now widely reviled by the international community. History is full of surprises.
In other words, according to Satanovsky, Assad is getting a bum rap. When Abraham Lincoln launched his effort to prevent the southern states of the Confederacy from seceding from the Union, he was just doing what the Syrian president is doing today: preventing rebels from tearing his country apart.
Satanovsky isn't the only one to have drawn this comparison...

Barack Obama has been reelected by concentrating on domestic issues. A look beyond US borders would have been unbearable to American voters anyways. That isn't Obama's fault: Foreign policy problems usually come with a long history, and we certainly can't blame the president for not forecasting global turmoil.
Yet we can admit that the global panorama resembles a painting of apocalyptic proportions. The four horsemen: Iranian nuclear frenzy, Islamic revolts, Eurozone breakdown and Chinese slowdown. There's also a fifth horseman of US domestic origin: the federal deficit. "The Economist" believes that this might indeed be the most powerful threat – an opinion that is shared by the "New York Times" (which published an article right after the presidential election titled Back to Work, Obama Is Greeted by Looming Fiscal Crisis).
The claim is that the US cannot pursue small-state taxation levels and big-state spending at the same time. And there's the additional worry that the US would feel the consequences of international turmoil as soon as any of the four global horsemen rears its head.
US president are seldom reelected on foreign affairs – but elections can surely be lost on them...

There are plenty of reasons for women, generally, to be discouraged by both the fact and the coverage of the Petraeus scandal. It began with the comparison of the looks of Paula Broadwell, his lover, and Holly Petraeus, his wife, who are twenty years apart in age—as if older women could have no expectation of fidelity—and an almost gleeful cataloging of Broadwell's wardrobe, body, and, as a Petraeus associate put it anonymously, the "claws" that she got into the General. ("You're a 60 year-old man and an attractive woman almost half your age makes herself available to you—that would be a test for anyone.") She wore tight clothes in Afghanistan; she wore a halter at the Pentagon. As Frank Bruni of the Times noted, the odd detail from her life—"her long-ago coronation as homecoming queen, her six-minute mile"—was "presented not merely as a matter of accomplishment, but as something a bit titillating, perhaps a part of the trap she laid." Then, before one had time to brood much on the foolishness of powerful men, attention shifted to side-by-side analyses of Broadwell and Jill Kelley, the "Tampa socialite," whose interactions were described as a "cat-fight."...

Mark Perry is a Washington-based author and reporter. His most recent book is Partners in Command. His forthcoming book (Basic Books, 2013) is a study of the relationship between President Franklin Roosevelt and General Douglas MacArthur.
In May 1934, reporters Drew Pearson and Robert Allen published a column in the Washington Herald accusing Army Chief of Staff Gen. Douglas MacArthur of "dictatorial, insubordinate, disloyal, mutinous and disrespectful" actions during the Bonus March, a peaceful veterans demonstration. MacArthur had broken up the protest by force -- using tanks commanded by Gen. George Patton -- back in July of 1932, an action that forever stained his reputation. Enraged by Pearson and Allen's claims, MacArthur sued them for $1.75 million. That scared the hell out of the columnists, who knew they'd have trouble proving their allegations. Here comes the good part.
Among MacArthur's enemies was Rep. Ross Collins, a powerful Mississippi Democrat -- drawl, jowls, slicked hair, the whole bit -- who controlled military appropriations and lived in the Chastleton Apartments on 16th Street and had seen MacArthur often in his building. Collins disliked MacArthur, and when he found out that Pearson and Allen were looking for something to hold against the general, he told them about the visits. Pearson and Allen followed up on Collins's tip and discovered that the 55-year old MacArthur was visiting Isabel Rosario Cooper, a 19-year old Filipino film star whom he'd brought with him from his last command in Manila and with whom he was having an affair.
Isabel was young and beautiful, and MacArthur showered her with gifts -- visiting her every day during his long lunches while he was chief of staff. But Isabel grew tired of the general and found his attention stifling, so she went to live with her brother in Baltimore, which is where Pearson and Allen found her. She then shared with the reporters what MacArthur had told her about Herbert Hoover (a "weakling," he said), and Franklin Roosevelt ("that cripple in the White House")....

DOES the re-election of the first black president mean the Voting Rights Act of 1965 is unnecessary and perhaps unconstitutional? The Supreme Court's decision last week to consider a constitutional challenge to a key section of the act suggests that a perverse outcome of the 2012 campaign may be that President Obama's victory spells doom for the civil rights law most responsible for African-American enfranchisement.
The central question in the constitutional debate is whether times have changed enough in the nearly five decades since the act's passage to suggest that the law has outlived its usefulness. The unprecedented flexing of racial minorities' political muscle on Nov. 6 does make it clear how much times have changed. But a campaign marred by charges of voter suppression and Election Day mishaps also makes the need for federal protection of voting rights clearer than ever....

The moment of succession is the midnight of the state, a period of maximum danger, the hour when power passes from incumbent to novice, when experience gives way to uncertainty. To preserve stability, traditional states used to insist on a speedy succession: "The king is dead; long live the king." In modern democracies, speed has been sacrificed to legitimation by popular mandate. But in China today, speed has been sacrificed, but without legitimation, for there is no longer an accepted procedure by which an heir apparent is chosen.
In Mao Zedong's day the Chairman chose or dispensed with putative successors as he saw fit. After 20 years in the No 2 slot, Liu Shaoqi was purged in 1966. Five years later his successor, Marshal Lin Biao, was hounded into fleeing the country, dying when his plane crashed in Mongolia. The young Shanghai revolutionary Wang Hongwen was helicoptered into Beijing to take Lin's place, but Mao soon found he was not up to the job.
Finally, Mao chose the unremarkable Hua Guofeng, who did succeed him. But Hua declared loyalty to his patron's disastrous Cultural Revolution policies and, within five years, Deng Xiaoping was able to deprive him of all his posts...

It just won't go away—and it may be Asia's contemporary equivalent to Archduke Ferdinand, whose assassination sparked World War I.
In recent weeks, a nearly daily occurrence near the disputed rocks are visits by Chinese ships. Carefully chosen maritime-surveillance or fisheries-agency (not military) ships have hovered on waters just outside the twelve-mile territorial limits (but inside the two-hundred-mile economic zone) of the Senkaku islands, which Japan controls and China calls the Diaoyu. These five lonely islets jutting out of the East China Sea are inhabited by a few dozen goats.
But the Sino-Japanese dispute has heated up in recent months. Nationalist sentiments are coming to a boil and crippling relations between two of the world's largest economies. These tensions are emblematic of larger trends in East Asia. South Korea and Japan are also in the midst of a similar dispute over even smaller and more inconsequential rocks, Dokdo, which are called Takeshima by Japan. So spun up are the Koreans (not coincidentally in an election year) that their President Lee Myung-bak became the first Korean leader to ever visit the rocks last August. The Korean government, at public expense, supports a single couple living there so they can say it is inhabited. Lee called the tiny specks of land "a place worth staking our lives to defend."
And it doesn't end there...

China's political leaders put stability above all else. So it's a remarkable sign of the times that they could be passing around well-thumbed copies of a book about the sudden, bloody outbreak of the French Revolution two-and-a-quarter centuries ago.
Why would China's modern rulers, preoccupied with the leadership handover under way in Beijing this week, be interested in Alexis de Tocqueville's The Old Regime and the French Revolution?
They are ''fascinated by the French thinker's writings because of what his observations say about conditions in their times,'' says a visiting professor at China's Sun Yat-sen University, Nailene Chou Wiest.
Since the Communist Party seized power in 1949 in a violent revolution, its highest priority has been to guard against what it calls ''counter-revolution''.
Yet the popularity of Tocqueville's work suggests that this is precisely what it now fears. ''Is China ripe for another revolution?'' poses Wiest...

It could have been much worse. Most Europeans, even conservatives, were dreading the prospect of President Mitt Romney, an obvious fraud whose voters are angry ageing white men and whose sponsors are half nasty and half crazy. And there was an almost worse prospect, of a rerun of 2000 and the grotesque farce in Florida – or alternatively of Barack Obama winning a majority in the preposterous electoral college but not a majority of the popular vote, and having his legitimacy challenged by the Republican for the next four years.
Even as it is, the situation in Washington is bad enough, as the re-elected Obama faces a bitterly hostile House of Representatives, yet again a dismal reflection of the American political system. No doubt anti-Americanism can take odious forms, but pro-Americanism is almost more curious. Not only the Anglo-neocons infesting the Tory party but some Labour politicians – Gordon Brown as well as Tony Blair – and liberal pundits are infatuated by all things American, including their written constitution, and a political culture which we are told we should emulate. To the contrary, without being complacent or excessively patriotic, I suggest we have nothing at all to learn about politics from across the Atlantic.
In their way, the founding documents of the American republic are very remarkable. The Declaration of Independence, the constitution and the Bill of Rights are written in limpid Augustan prose which can be read for literary pleasure, a contrast indeed to the equivalent documents of the European Union, from the Treaty of Rome to the abortive constitution, with their rebarbative bureaucratese. And never mind the fact that the declaration demands a free hand to deal with "merciless Indian savages" or that the constitution implicitly recognises the institution of slavery.
The trouble was that the constitution was set in stone, or at least on parchment...

Buried in the mountain of demographic data preoccupying political pundits this week is one historic statistic that may have far-reaching consequences for religious freedom in America:
Seventy-nine percent of white Protestant evangelicals voted for Mitt Romney, a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – popularly known as the Mormon Church.
After a bitter Republican primary season during which many evangelical leaders supported the "anybody but Romney" effort, prominent conservative Christian ministers lined up behind Romney for the general election. A defining moment came on Oct. 11 when America's Preacher, the Rev. Billy Graham, publicly signaled support for Romney's candidacy....

Nate Cohn writes the Electionate blog for The New Republic.
From the moment political reporters armed with leaked internal polls wrote that Obama led by mid-to-upper single digits in Ohio, the Buckeye State was widely regarded as Romney's Achilles heel. As early as mid-August, the conventional wisdom held that some combination of attacks on Romney's tenure at Bain, the auto bailout, the shale gas boom, and a strong local economy was allowing Obama to overcome his national weakness with white working class voters in a traditionally Republican state.
When Obama's national standing faltered after the first presidential debate, polls showed Obama falling behind in the "new coalition" states while maintaining a slight but consistent lead in the key Midwestern battlegrounds, including Ohio. The president seemed to be defying gravity, and the Obama campaign told reporters that Ohio was the crux of the "midwestern firewall" that provided the president with a critical and durable advantage in the Electoral College. With the polls showing Obama ahead by 3 points with more than 49 percent of the vote, the state appeared poised to provide the president with reelection....

...CONSERVATIVES, BY NOW, should be very comfortable with adapting to changing demographics. They've done it before. Back in the 1960s, inner cities were on the decline, their white residents high-tailing it for the urban fringe. Democrats responded with a war on poverty. Richard Nixon, by contrast, saw an opening.
"[Republicans] recognized the same problems. They didn't see them as something to be solved, but something to be exploited," explains Princeton University history professor Kevin Kruse. Kevin Phillips' seminal 1969 book The Emerging Republican Majority outlined a "southern strategy" to wrest white people away from the Democrats—by demonizing the black inner cities. "If you look at who he's talking to, it's a 'suburban strategy,'" says Kruse.
In the 1970s, Nixon followed up with a battery of policies designed to re-segregate the American landscape, most effectively through Supreme Court nominees who ruled against busing for educational diversity and upheld discriminatory zoning ordinances. The approach was validated in 1980, when Ronald Reagan won the presidency without carrying a single major city. From then on, the GOP and cities seemed to be antithetical: A party that believes government is the problem won't find support where people rely on government for everyday services....

You know the history. Arthur Laffer sketched out his famous curve—whether on a napkin or not is apparently still debated—back in 1974, when the top marginal rate was 90 percent. There is a certain point, Laffer explained, at which rates decrease revenue. Since many of the people to whom he was doing this explaining found themselves to be in or near the top bracket, quite naturally they liked his theory a lot....
...Mitt Romney was offering people a bigger cut than even Bush had. It was the centerpiece of his campaign, as it had been of Bush's, and it was the central policy issue of this campaign in a way that Bush's tax proposal wasn't in 2000. In other words, if there was a single policy issue on which people voted this time, it was tax policy—whether everyone should get a massive cut (Romney), or whether the middle class should be held harmless and the wealthy should pay more (Barack Obama). It's impossible to imagine a way in which the choice could have been clearer. And it's hard to imagine the voters' response being much clearer, either....

Sometimes, age-old wisdom notwithstanding, the enemy of our enemy turns out not to be our friend. Once, in the mid-1980s, I was handed the portfolio for Libya's opposition leaders, many of whom were operating out of Khartoum, Sudan. At first, I had only a hazy idea of who Moammar Gaddafi's opponents were. All I knew for sure was that the Reagan administration wanted Gaddafi to go.
Late one night, I woke up to the sound of the butts of assault rifles pounding my door. Two of my Libyan contacts were on the run from Gaddafi's assassins and expected me to protect them. We talked most of the night — about Libya, history and Allah. By the time they could safely leave, I had come to understand that the people we'd picked to replace Gaddafi were militant Salafists determined to turn Libya into an Islamic republic. They didn't succeed then, but you could argue that the people who attacked our diplomatic outpost in Benghazi in September were their linear descendents....

David Maraniss, an associate editor of The Post, is the author of "Barack Obama: The Story" and "First in His Class: A Biography of Bill Clinton." This column is part of an occasional series on the 2012 presidential candidates' political lives.
On two historic election nights in Chicago, Barack Obama's face has told the story. Four years ago in Grant Park, the solemnity of his expression after he took the stage revealed a man at last feeling the full weight of expectations. While his supporters cried and laughed and swayed with joy, his countenance reflected the responsibilities he soon would bear as president. On Tuesday, inside McCormick Place, his hair was grayer, his skin more creased, the crowd not so spontaneous. Yet his face betrayed an incredible lightness of being that went beyond the simple relief that he had won reelection.
Second terms often bring a new set of frustrations for a president, following the laws of diminishing returns and lame-duckiness. But history also shows that a second term is required to create, or to ratify, presidential greatness — and in that sense, Obama is not ambivalent about his ambitions. Since he first thought about being president, a notion that came to him relatively late compared with most politicians, he has wanted to be a great one. When he stepped onto the stage Tuesday night, he realized that he has that chance....

...On July 10, 2012, George Romney's son Mitt stood before the NAACP's annual convention as the soon-to-be Republican nominee for an office his father had coveted in vain: president. "If you want a president who will make things better in the African American community," he declared, "you are looking at him." He invoked his father's legacy.
The audience responded with catcalls....
The NAACP didn't boo Mitt Romney because he is especially hostile toward civil rights, much less a racist — or even because the NAACP's delegates thought of him that way.
It happened because the delegates could not easily forget the intervening political history, in which the GOP had evolved from the party of George Romney into the party of white backlash. They could not forget it, and Mitt Romney's personal heritage was not sufficient to trump it....
THE re-election of President Obama, preceded by the extraordinary damage done by Hurricane Sandy, raises a critical question: In the coming years, might it be possible for the United States to take significant steps to reduce the risks associated with climate change?
A crucial decision during Ronald Reagan's second term suggests that the answer may well be yes. The Reagan administration was generally skeptical about costly environmental rules, but with respect to protection of the ozone layer, Reagan was an environmentalist hero. Under his leadership, the United States became the prime mover behind the Montreal Protocol, which required the phasing out of ozone-depleting chemicals.
There is a real irony here. Republicans and conservatives had ridiculed scientists who expressed concern about the destruction of the ozone layer. How did Ronald Reagan, of all people, come to favor aggressive regulatory steps and lead the world toward a strong and historic international agreement?...

Ross K. Baker is a political science professor at Rutgers University and a member of USA TODAY's Board of Contributors.
Of the 43 men who have served as president, only 16 have been granted a second term. The voters who awarded the fortunate ones with an extended lease on the White House chose them for any number of reasons ranging from greater personal appeal to the incumbent's agenda, or satisfaction with the incumbent's performance.
In President Obama's case, it was a combination of all three. But Obama should look back on history for what might lie ahead. Second-term presidents who planned excessively bold agendas based on perceived mandates, or on freedom from the constraints of having to run for re-election, have stumbled badly.
In fact, the goals of re-elected incumbents rarely comport with what ultimately takes place in the second term. Often, events — rather than anything in the winner's playbook — can take unpredictable directions....

Alan R.M. Jones, an adviser in the Howard government, was also a political staffer in Washington during the presidency of Ronald Reagan.
Even before the ballot counting is complete in the US presidential election, analysts, party faithful and journalists such as Andrew Sullivan claim already to see forensic messages in the debris that is the Republican Mitt Romney's unsuccessful Oval Office bid.
Sullivan, who only days ago claimed that the "Confederacy" was ascendant when Romney's chances looked hopeful - somebody call General Sherman - now claims Barack Obama has won a historic political and ideological referendum. He says 2012 is to today's political tectonics what Ronald Reagan's re-election was was to 1980s America.
Sullivan claims that Obama's 24-state, 303 electoral college vote win (as of yesterday's tally) represents a landslide that has delivered "a permanent Democratic majority". Obama's razor-thin 50.1 per cent of the popular vote has led Sullivan to anoint him "a Democratic Reagan".
Earth to Sullivan, the Gipper won 49 states - all but Democratic challenger Walter Mondale's home state of Minnesota - and nearly 60 per cent of the popular vote. Reagan's re-election was a landslide victory of historic proportions.
Had Romney pulled another 300,000 or so votes across the four battleground states of Florida, New Hampshire, Ohio and Virginia, Obama would be packing his teleprompter...

Sneakerhead Sneaker Watch 4/8-4/10
Don't call it a comeback! The Air Penny will be back and in full mode later this year as Nike Basketball has decided to continue Penny Hardaway's iconic sneaker line with the releasing of the Penny 5. The fact that Penny has been retired for a while now only adds excitement to the production of new Penny kicks. And in this segment of Sneakerhead Sneaker Watch, we get a look at a couple pairs of Penny 2's which has become the staple for the entire footwear line. That says a lot considering how many classic kicks have stemmed from the set.
Among the rest of the footwear, we get a look at every color of the first Air Yeezy release. New images of the Yeezy 2 surfaced yesterday when Kanye hit up 106 & Park and showed them off once again. A great selection of Nike Basketball and Nike Sportswear models are also on display and Air Jordan retros are in full force, of course.
Check out the large gallery of images and remember to tweet our #SneakerOfTheDay hashtag on Twitter to show us what you rock on a daily basis. Shoutout to Niketalk.

Pope to visit Rio slum during July World Youth Day
May 7, 2013 @ 4:02 am
VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope Francis will visit one of Rio de Janeiro's favelas, or slums, during his weeklong visit to Brazil for World Youth Day, his first foreign trip as pontiff.
The Vatican on Tuesday released Francis' itinerary for the July 22-29 trip to the world's largest Roman Catholic country. It includes a meeting with prisoners and a visit to a Rio hospital as well as events linked to the Catholic Church's youth festival.
The 76-year-old Francis will remain mostly in Rio but will make a daylong side trip to Aparacida to pray at the shrine to the Virgin Mary.
He will also visit the Varginha favela, north of Rio, and deliver a speech.
As archbishop of Buenos Aires, the former Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio often worked and preached in the capital's slums.

Judge W. Fletcher Sams has signed a Consent Order in Upson Superior Court granting the City of Thomaston access to Upson County's records and requiring the county to pay the city's attorney's fees. The court action stems from a lawsuit the city filed against the county in May, claiming the county failed since May 2011 to adhere to the state's Open Records Act by providing the city with requested information in regards to the Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) negotiations.
At the Thomaston City Council meeting Tuesday night, City Attorney Joel Bentley stated that the city and county entered a Consent Order on Sept. 27 concerning the city's access to county records. The order, signed by Judge Sams, requires that the county "shall make the [county's]records storage facilities available for research by [city's] employees for records requests made by [the city], upon written request of the [city], within three business days of [the city's] request.
"In an unusual move," Bentley added, "Judge Sams kept the case open and active, so that any future disputes over the city's access to the county's records can be resolved more immediately without the necessity of the city against filing suit."
It also orders the county to pay the city $5,362 in attorney's fees the city incurred in bringing the suit against the county.
The city has sought basic financial records of the county since May 2011 to prepare for negotiating with the county over the allocation of LOST proceeds between the city and county and for use in discussing service delivery between the city and county. For more than a year, the county failed to release the records, forcing the city to file suit in May. The Georgia Open Records Act requires governments to retain certain records and produce them for public inspection upon written request.
"It was frustrating to have to take such measures to see records that should be public and open for all citizens of the county and city to see at any time," said Mayor Hays Arnold. "The city has attempted all along to be reasonable, seeking only commonly maintained records such as budgets, bank records, and payroll records, yet for over a year we have been stonewalled by the county. It has been a tremendous waste of effort and resources and a long delay for us to get what should be an open book to the public. The lack of transparency has been mystifying and frustrating.
"We are very happy with the court's order so that we can move forward with the city's responsibility to get its citizens their fair share of the LOST proceeds and get the best and most economical services possible.
"I have spent many years in the political arena, and I have never seen, and never thought, that in my life politically, I would ever see anything precisely as I have seen as it is related to this Open Records dispute between the city and the county," Mayor Arnold added.

Blame the Victim? Do We Encourage Burglaries?
A couple of readers debate whether victims bear any responsibility for crime. What do you think?
In Des Peres last week, a handful of cars and homes were burglarized in a residential neighborhood—a serious enough "spree" that the city blasted an email and text alert to the neighborhoods. As it happens, the burglar got into some unlocked cars, used the garage door opener and walked into a pair of houses in which the inside door was not locked. The report brought on this comment from a reader: "A person would not lock their car outside overnight (or anytime) because? And with a home garage door opener and valuables inside? Is this laziness or stupidity?" Another reader who said she was was one of the victims took offense: "I hope you are never a victim. You are acting like it was our fault." What do you think? Do we bear any …

Agreed. Just because a thief or vandal else clearly does wrong, does not mean the victim is necessarily "right" or blameless. It also doesn't mean they have equal blame or most of it. Such black and white thinking on this board. Sometimes victims couldn't have done anything better. Sometimes we can all learn something from the situation...like locking things up and keeping valuables out of sight.   more ›

You could use a Ring Wraith from LOTR (might be too big), or a cloaked Darth Maul(possibly too small). I'll keep thinking but those were the first two to pop into my head.

I found a 6" figure, by (I believe) Toy Biz,and best of all, it was in the remainder shelf, at Home Bargains, at a very reasonable £1.99! Cloth cape, detachable weapons, and an empty hood, which can be filled with worms (how about modeller's Green Stuff? Already the right colour!).The same range also had an Aragorn with a detachable rubber raincoat, which could stand in as a Huge Dread Wraith with no lower body, if you stick it on a base with a peg up the middle...

Wow, that is an awesome custom job. Did you modify an existing toy/figure? I especially like the green stuff worms and the custom sceptre/mace...SWEET! Guaranteed to be a scary sight for any party to run across. I commissioned a sculptor to do some custom minis for my D&D campaigns, which included a Kyuss figure, 5 Overworms (WoTC pre-painted Purple Worms with green stuff modifications) and the Momma Carrion Crawler from the 'Kings of the Rift' adventure. If you like these, I could post links to all the other Aberrations I had sculpted (like Aboleths, Phaerimms, Cloaker Lord, Tendriculos, Remorhaz, a 'real' Purple Worm, etc.) Please note: none of the minis were painted at the time these photos were taken and they were all (except the Overworms) crafted using wire armatures and Sculpy. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj41/shoggothic/Kyuss1.jpg

Well, if you consider a 30mm "average human" mini to be about 6', then that statue is 68' tall...true 1/64 scale would be over 85' tall. Either way, that's well into the Colossal size category, not Huge. Are you planning to cheese him as a Colossal and say "my players won't know the stats anyway" or are you going to up-stat Kyuss to a Colossal? By my math, a Huge creature shouldn't be more than a 6" action figure, right? Oh, and don't forget to increase the size of the spire-top...your big 'ol Cthulhu is going to take up a lot of space ;)
evilvolus wrote: D'oh! Yeah, Cthulhu is definitely colossal. I haven't actually read the last adventure (we're only on Blackwall Keep). I just assumed Kyuss was colossal based on the illustrations on the cover of Dungeon magazine and Elder Evils. Maybe I will use the Nightbringer from Warhammer 40,000 then.

Sure, 'firstname.lastname@example.com' is his e-mail address. As this is his hobby, and not his job, the turn around for my last commission (all the AoW stuff) was about 6 months. He uses a copper wire armature for the basic 'skeleton', then molds the model around it using Sculpy clay, then heats it to cure.
They are all one-offs, per my specifications, as I only needed certain monsters (pretty much all the Aberrations that WoTC has never bothered to sculpt-or sculpted horribly). So, sorry no molds, but I'm sure he could recreate anything he has already done, as I know he has saved all the photos of the customs he made for me. Regards,

How big is the Reaper figure?? I got their "demonic lasher" for STAP, but it is only a large figure. I will still use it for Demogorgon as it is very cool, but it would be nice to get something in scale. They have a purple worm in their pre-painted range to be released soon, if it isn't already.
sanwah68 wrote:
The worm corpse fig is, unfortunately, scaled to medium size. It still makes for a good spawn of Kyuss, though. The purple worm is a pretty big hunk o' metal, usable for huge or gargantuan size. The tail coming out of the ground is a seperate piece (included with the figure, of course) so its size is adjustable. I also have the demonic lasher, a cool mini. Too bad it isn't quite big enough for Demogorgon. There is also a fig, I think its called the Dark Prince, that is perfect for Graz'zt.
Wow, some cool Kyuss minis here, not to mention all the other ones that have been posted... Note, since some purple worms have been posted and are still being discussed, both WotC's DDM line and Reaper minis have purple worms for your ulgurstasta needs. Reaper's is in pewter (with the separate tail piece that was mentioned) and in significantly cheaper prepainted plastic (without), while WotC's is a fair bit bigger & scarier looking than Reaper's. From the artwork, the ulgurstasta is really more fat and grub-like than wormy, plus they have all those eyes above the mouth, so some conversion work may be desired for either company's purple worm to work really well, but for myself, I opted just to paint my Reaper pewter purple worm in ulgurstasta colours, only with a hint of green added in since the one in the Champion's Belt adventure is a "special" ulgurstasta. Y'know, it being Kyuss's apostle and all... Kang

True, the figs are a bit on the small side, but that's the downside to metal; to make a scale fig of Demogorgon or Kyuss would be very heavy and prohibitively expensive. OTOH, you could use 15mm character figs with the monsters if you want to get dramatic effect. In any event, Reaper has a lot of excellent D&D-able figs (compare their Pit Fiend and Prince of the Undead to the WOTC plastic, for example).
The latest D&D Minis expansion, Against the Giants, contains a pretty good option-- the Yuan-ti Anathema is a Huge, vaguely humanoid figure, with a body made up of a mass of snakes. Not a perfect match for big K, but a good option for the painting-impaired (like me).
This may be a dead thread, but as I am about to embark on the 'Champion's Belt' adventure, I figured I'd share with all of you the idea I had for the "Apostle" Ulgurstasta in my game. It is an old Mongoose miniature for the defunct Starship Troopers miniatures game called a 'Burrower Bug'. Even though they are out of production, I have found them MiB (there are 2 per box) on eBay for $20 or less listed a couple times a month. Hope this helps anyone still looking for a good Ulgurstasta mini! See link for pic. Regards,
Pop'N'Fresh wrote: That's an awesome suggestion for the Urgulstasta! Yeah, after an exhaustive search, I found it to be the only miniature that even comes close to satisfying my requirements for an Urgulstasta miniature. Pop'N'Fresh wrote: I'm also trying to get a hold of a ringwraith action figure to kyussify Try searching for the 'Witch King Ringwraith' action figure by Toy Biz on eBay/Google, as it has the best shroud for a Kyuss figure. Avoid the 'Morgul Lord Witch King' action figure, as it has the lame crown and the shroud isn't as cool. Also, make sure to buy the blister-packaging version of the 'Witch King Ringwraith' and not the gift/special edition-packaging, as it is about $10 cheaper on average for the exact same figure. Hope that helps! Hale Kyuss! Regards,
I know this thread is years old, but my group is finally getting close to the end (halfway through the Wormcrawl Fissure now), so I've been looking for a figure for Kyuss. I don't want to hit the pivotal final battle and have to drop a "huge" potted cactus or something on the grid. Last week at a toy store, I found the "Raven Spawn" figure from the McFarlane Spawn series. It's about the right size, although I'll need to build a 3" x 3" base for it. Definitely looks deathy and cloaky and has a pretty sweet executioner's axe. You lose the whole worm component of Kyuss, which is a really cool characteristic, but short of sculpting something yourself or covering "Raven Spawn" with rotted ham and live maggots, I think it would be hard to find something.
I bought the 11" ringwraith poseable action figure from Lord of the Rings off Amazon. It was 19 bucks or so, pretty cheap. The only downside is that I'll need to find something to use for his mace. I was going to make some green worms out of modelling apoxy similar to what another person did on the boards and stick them all over the figure's hands, feet, and inside his hood. Then paint a couple yellow eyes into it and voila, done. I'm confident I can find a Huge (3x3) base at a hobby store to glue him onto.
Pop'N'Fresh wrote:
I will be using one of those for my mini also, but I don't know much about crafting anything. Do they actually sell bases, or will I have to make my own? If so how will I make it? My figure does not stand up so well.
wraithstrike wrote: Do they actually sell bases, or will I have to make my own? If so how will I make it? My figure does not stand up so well. There is a company called Litko Aerosystems that makes bases up to 3"x3" out of what ever material you want them to be (wood, plastic, etc.). They also do custom jobs, as I had them make some 4"x4" and 6"x6" bases for me for the Gargantuan and Colossal sizes respectively. Regards,

These are really great! Do you have pictures of the finished pieces? I'd love to see them in all their painted glory! :-p Pop'N'Fresh wrote:
Well, I got the RotK ringwraith and it also has cloth robes (except the head part - that would have been challenging with the figure having... well... no head :-p). So for anyone out there that thinks the 11' figure may be too big, this is a nice alternative.
I had great success with using puffy fabric paint to simulate the "worms" on my Kyuss mini. You have to be patient when adding layers of worms. The stuff takes a few minutes to dry, but then you add a new layer of "worms" by using small linear dabs of the fabric paint. I use partial blacklights in my game room so I used florescent fabric paint and the effect was stunning!! I'll try to get an image up. My gaming group thought I bought it!

Actually, I am having Andy over at Dark Platypus Studios recast them all in an rtv rubber, with metal bits for appendages. I am not too familiar with the Sculpy that the original sculptor used, so to be on the safe side I'm commissioning Andy to make molds of them and recast them in a super-strong material, with the added bonus of having the ability to remake as many as desired. When they get painted up, I will send you a link! On a side note, Andy makes the best Gelatinous Cube mini I have ever seen (I own 4), and I have commissioned him to sculpt and cast, some other creatures that have long been neglected and were in dire need of a good miniature. Check out the Phaerimm he sculpted and cast for me here (scroll to the bottom of the page to view the 3 pics of the Phaerimm): stonechild wrote:
If you follow the link to my painter's website, Middle Pillar Path Painting, you can see that although it is on a 4"x4" base (gargantuan) that the figure isn't THAT big, but is still intimidating. Short answer, the miniature appears to be about 1/2 the size that it appears to be on the cover of Champion's Belt, in comparison to an average humanoid. Pages 3 and 4 have the Burrower Bug painted and on it's base for you to see: Middle Pillar Path Painting Age of Worms gallery. Hope that helps! Regards,
I plan on using a ring wraith for Kyuss, as well. Finding a good Avolakia stand-in was a nightmare, but I think the Star Wars Dice Ibegon figure works great. It stands on its own and fills a 10x10 nicely. It comes in a two pack with Trinto Duaba, but you can usually find Dice alone on ebay for pretty cheap. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090612072643/starwars/images/4/40/D ice_Ibegon_action_figure.jpg My Dragotha is the McFarlane: Dragons Series 6 Boxed Set - Fossil Dragon Clan. http://www.spawn.com/toys/product.aspx?product=3234 For the Ebon Aspect below Alhaster I'm going to modify an Abomination from the Incredible Hulk film toy line.
I was actually thinking of using Mummra from thunder cats. I might repaint it. It's an original figure from like the 80s. Thoughts? http://mimg.ugo.com/201201/0/7/2/216270/cuts/mumm-ra_528_poster.jpg

Saoirse Ronan Gossip
Saoirse Ronan gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Between Katniss and Tris
Back in March 2011 I reported exclusively that Jennifer Lawrence was the first choice to play Katniss in The Hunger Games. At one point however, they were also interested in Saoirse Ronan, particularly after her performance in Hanna (click here for a refresher) but that she would have to really, REALLY dazzle producers to take the job away. Full Story
Smutty Tingles
Smutty Tingles
Summer Saoirse
Written by Sarah Do you know how long it took me to master pronouncing "Saoirse"? I keep wanting to say "Cerise". Seer-shuh. I have to keep repeating it to myself whenever I see her name. Seer-shuh. Saoirse Ronan is rapidly becoming one of my favorite young actresses. Full Story
Saoirse Ronan enters the Black Hole of Taste
Written by Sarah I think you all understand my disdain for the Twilight Saga as "literature", and that I hold the movies to be only slightly better at best. I have zero respect for Stephenie Meyer as a writer. One of the few times I've ever been in synch with Oprah was when she had Meyer on her show and proceeded to treat Meyer like a housewife who won the lottery (which, basically, she did). Full Story
17-off at the Met: Dakota & Saoirse
I suppose, if there's anyone who could get away with the Valentino flower tulle explosion worn by Dakota Fanning at the Met Gala it was probably Dakota Fanning. She's 17. Prom is still within the parametres of her actual experience. But f-ck is this thing ever ugly. And you have to wonder – did they really design this for 18 and under? I don't think so. Full Story
Saoirse's blue shoes
Saoirse Ronan was in New York yesterday promoting Hanna. As I noted yesterday in the Cate Blanchett post, Hanna opens on Friday and you're totally seeing it, right? The star of course of Hanna is Saoirse. And Saoirse's performance is so impressive, she had Lionsgate on pause on Jennifer Lawrence for Katniss in The Hunger Games – click here Full Story
Young vs. old Hunger Games
Written by Sarah I've been saying for the past year that sixteen-year-old Saorise Ronan should be Katniss, and after seeing her in True Grit, I also thought that fourteen-year-old Hailee Steinfeld would also make a good Katniss. Full Story
Katniss casting update
Exclusive I was the first to report yesterday that Jennifer Lawrence has emerged as the frontrunner for the role of Katniss in the film adaptation of The Hunger Games. Several hours later, just before the end of the business day, Variety posted the same, confirming my initial story that Lawrence has indeed "generated the most interest" even though they listed Hailee Steinfeld and Abigail Breslin as possible contenders too. Full Story
Now this is a trailer: Hanna edition
I know. It's one of my common refrains. That there is an art to cutting movie trailers and most of the time, Hollywood doesn't give a sh-t. Which is why when a really, really great one comes along, it's something to fist pump about. The film is Hanna, due in theatres in April, starring the always sublime Cate Blanchett and a surprisingly enigmatic Eric Bana. Full Story
2 & 4 together
How will I focus the rest of the day? Jim Sturgess and Colin Farrell, numbers 2 and 4 on my Five List, just showed up together at a presser for The Way Back in London. They did not pose side by side. In a way I'm thankful for it. Remember last week when Ryan Gosling and Jake Gyllenhaal stood next to each other and exploded your lady business? This can be dangerous, non? Here's an example of how Quiver can take on different forms. Full Story
Saoirse in green and as Katniss?
Acclaimed young actress Saoirse Ronan attended the Irish premiere of Shrek yesterday in a pair of steezy pink chucks with a blazer, topped off with light green Ray-Bans which obviously I love because I have them too. (Photo attached from Barbados) Saoirse, now 16, is always at the top of the list for discussion on who should play Katniss Everdeen in Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games film adaptation. Full Story
Saoirse is versatile
Lovely Saoirse Ronan is still promoting The Lovely Bones which, after a pushed back release, hasn't been performing too badly. Obviously not the awards bait it was predicted to be last summer after critical annihilation but with a revamped marketing strategy focusing on teen girls, Bones isn't a complete bust financially, and sometimes that's all that matters. Full Story
More young steeze
Emma Watson, Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning… not all the young ones are skank ones. Add Saoirse Ronan to the list. She is 15, currently on a major promotional tour for The Lovely Bones, showed up in New York last night perfectly styled and has, in fact, been perfectly styled all the way through. Full Story

The New York City Fire Department says the crane fell around 2:20 p.m.
Work at the site remains suspended.
There were seven workers injured, but none of them were serious.
"The workers were under the crane in certain areas," Deputy Fire Chief Mark Ferran said. "We didn't need any heavy equipment to get them out but we did extricate three people."
Five men, ranging in ages from 23 to 55, were transported to nearby Elmhurst Hospital and are expected to survive, according to hospital officials.
Another two were taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
But many said they are just thankful that the injuries weren't any worse.
"We could have had something far more tragic happen here," Queens Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer said.
Witness Russel Roberson said he heard a snapping sound and then the crane started to come down. At that point he just ran for whatever cover he could find.
The accident occurred at the site of what will eventually be a 25-story residential building.
It is located along the East River waterfront, behind the neighborhood's iconic "Pepsi Cola" sign.
TF Cornerstone, the contractor overseeing the development, released a statement saying in part, "Site safety is always our first priority as it relates to construction, and we are cooperating fully with all relevant authorities to try and determine what caused this occurrence."
The Department of Buildings says engineers are still determining what caused the 170-feet-long crane to collapse.
The crane's owner, New York Crane, is the same company involved in the Upper East Side crane accident nearly five years ago.
Two construction workers were killed when the 200-foot crane crashed near 91st Street and First Avenue.
The company's owner, James Lomma, was later acquitted of manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, and assault charges in the case.
