Rescue Laura Challenge (Interactive)

Crikey, mate! That's how to stage a rescue mission!

Nice, well-detailed set up. Now, how to assign them?

I honestly don't think that they're all that interested in performing any rescues!
Well not as long as the beer and the weather hold out that is....

Quite right. Let them drink beer and sing "Waltzing Mathilda."

Thank you to Kimono Troop Command for supplying the aircraft and pilot images.

Brilliant work Dave.
Kamiko is going to be soooooo pissed!

The blue Dr Evil is SO destined to wear a German helmet!
(Remind me to buy one for my bloke!)
Great ack-ack gun too, but are you sure that it was hydraulic pressure that aviatrix was losing and not pneumatic?

uh oh! what have they done this time?? so these are the buffoons who got Laura captured are they? I don't think I'd want to make that phone call!

Great story Dave, can't wait to see the next installment.

That was so funny Dave , and probably the best comic I have seen from you so far , not that I get time to read most of them sadly .

Two good sources for parted out German gear are:

Echobase Toys in the US

and The Veego Store in Hong Kong.

I have dealt with both and found them to be reliable. Though the metal helmets are nicest, they can render a lightweight figure top heavy and prone to tipping, and so plastic ones are better for the lighter figures. Just my opinion, having a few of each.

Many thanks for that info Gary. A helmet is now on the way!

Okay, that was good! So good it went right over my head the first time I read it! Glad I came back and caught that!

So....kind of a trip over the "week" end eh?
GREAT comic though!!!

Dave really enjoyed reading it. Made me laugh.

"Sock-it-to-me.....sock-to-me!"

Oh Hell , I am starting to like that Dr Diablos figure almost as much as No Face , is he a rarity ? Hard pick up ? Another very amusing instalment to the story , I keep trying to think what fitting team I could use to assist , but doubt I could compete with the humorous dialogue . Good stuff Gary .

I very much covet that leather coat Diabolos is wearing!
What did you pay for it? And where?

We are not asking that you contribute humourous dialogue, only a team. With all those Vietnam figures you have....you should have plenty of reinforcements for Kimono Troop.


As for Dr. Diablos...he is the perpetuation of one of Miskatonic Nick's old characters. He was made by using the head sculpt from this 5" scale figure
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/224380160161?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 (Mattel Virus Attack Mr. Freeze) and putting it on a 1/6 scale figure. Despite being made for 5" scale toys, it is just about right at 1/6 scale. You have to saw off the head with a razor saw or something, glue a neck joint adapter to it, and put it on the 1/6 scale body of your choice. Dave, Dal and I have all dressed ours differently, with Dave being very true to the original created by Nick, while Dal and I deviated somewhat. Mine is wearing a German motorcycle rider's greatcoat, riding breeches, tall boots and a shirt. Oh...and I've just added a German helmet and like the look.
