Regarding the camera, I checked out the movement of the controls and everything works. I didn't put any film through it though and I'd not be surprised if the seals were poo poo (they were often poo poo even when brand-new) so that there may be light leaks all over the place. If you plan on using it as a camera rather than as an ornament or prop. there's an enthusiast site that might be useful to you. You can also head down to The Dorkroom and get laughed at be congratulated on your wise purchase.

Yeah, I checked the thing over immediately when I unpacked it, and within an hour I had an online copy of its user manual in front of me. There's a bit of rust, it needs cleaning, and until I clean the lenses I can't tell what condition they're in. But I'm very very unlikely to try shooting with it, I haven't touched film in like 10+ years. It's more of a conversation piece at this point. They're also not particularly rare, I'm seeing good condition ones on ebay for like thirty bucks, which is good because it means spare parts are available if I need them.

I mean, it's not a hobby of mine or anything. But my wife likes interesting hats, and she has a very small head. HH had a couple hats that looked like they'd fit, and I figured at that point, why not get a selection of stuff to round out a decent sized box for shipping?

It's neat stuff. I have a couple friends who do a lot of costuming, and I think they'll be able to make use of some of these items too.

Perhaps Elisabit is her name and she's lying on top of her trusty Cerastus Knight Castigator, just chilling out when not busy castigating. Orchestrating some doom or whatever.

[ed:] Ah, you were speaking of the halves of black Inquisitorial leg guards. That one is easy, some tech priest messed up and assembled them wrong. Now the yellow cursive "i" on top, I have no explanation for.

I have a friend who is reasonably famous in the ball-jointed doll scene. Via her Fb page I've seen just how many hosed up people there are in that hobby. It starts at Otherkin and just gets weirder and less benign the deeper you go. The Russian ones are (inevitably) the worst. A lot of white-supremacist, asatru-with-human-sacrifice, extreme-BDSM, loving ... doll collectors.

The baffling thing is the old box for these guys had credits for both Perry twins, Brian Nelson, and Jes Goodwin. The very best sculptors GW has ever had somehow made that kit happen. Say what you will about molding technology at the time, but the Eldar Guardians and Tactical Marines kits came out around the same time and were leagues better, and look almost indistinguishable from modern minis.

That's just the models, I think Juan Diaz just did that because asymmetry is a lot more interesting visually and Slaanesh is all about asymmetry. It's a running theme with the models. I have no idea what's up with the naked little girl at the front though.

The little one at the front is an old Citadel Familiar.

No idea why it's in the middle of the front rank though. I guess they ran out of real Daemonettes?

That's a very lovely paintjob. The Studio armies were much, much better than that, I'm guessing it's some staffer army photo.

The naked little girl in the front of the Daemonette unit was one of the old Chaos Familiars.
