thank you for smoking.

every knows (or should know) that toys are very photogenic, and being that i rank killerj's smoking star as one of my favorite vinyl mini's, i thought i'd post some smoking star photography. none of which are mine. SaintofSpinners fromt he skullbrain.org toy board shot this pic up today, and it really gives the paint workings on these versions some new depth. beneath a black light, some of the details in these really stand out!


and by deciding to post this photo-gem up, it reminded me of another smoking star photo from a bit back that i absolutely loved. the smoking star figure itself is not capable of this task, so some "customizing" was in order, and i'm assuming by way of drill bit. i'm too much of an OCD'er to drill up any of my toys, but i'm glad someone took the leap. it's pure genius!
anyways, i had to hunt through some of the buried posts of skullbrain, but i found it. photographed by J.B., Thank You For Smoking....
