What I want for Christmas

[julesjones]

What I really, *really* want from the Whoniverse tat design team for Christmas is a 12" action figure of Ianto Jones, complete with a selection of suits, the Countrycide outfit, and the rentboy outfit from Fragments, plus accessories that include a mug, the taser from Meat, and a silver butler tray. And a napkin. Don't forget the napkin for when one is eating pizza or chinese takeaway.

In the meantime, I'll just have to be content with the Torchwood Jack 5" action figure, which as agentxpndble points out, now has a picture so we can all drool while we wait for the figure's release date.

A taster is a real posibility... If they would just give us a 12" (aka 1/6 scale) doll of Ianto, we can easily get some of the accessories... Apparently there is this ENORMOUS 1/6 scale market for military (GI Joe) figures and accessories... There are Jack coats (http://cgi.ebay.com/1-6-scale-WW2-German-Trench-Coat-Great-Details_W0QQitemZ300233772874QQihZ020QQcategoryZ27294QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem), and Ten coats (http://cgi.ebay.com/3-of-DID-1-6-WWII-British-John-Coleman-Great-Coat_W0QQitemZ280236072651QQihZ018QQcategoryZ27294QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem), and handcuffs (http://cgi.ebay.com/bi25-1-6-Accessories-Police-Handcuff_W0QQitemZ250260201253QQihZ015QQcategoryZ1168QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem), and ties (http://cgi.ebay.com/PA087-1-6-Accessories-Black-White-Stripe-Tie_W0QQitemZ160252168375QQihZ006QQcategoryZ27294QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem), and heaps and heaps of WWII clothes, and guns, and all sorts of stuff.

Also, while I haven't looked, I'm sure there's an appropriate scale model out there that could be customised into the Torchwood SUV. Though I suspect that there will be complaints from Other Half if there is a resurgence of model-making -- he's never actually had to *live* with it before, as I stopped doing it at the time we started living together full-time instead of having jobs at opposite ends of the country. And 1/6 scale is bigger than anything I ever played with before. :-)

I meant "taser" in that first post. :-)

OMG. MUST. HAVE. IT. Radio controlled SUV similar to Torchwood (http://www.halleyrus.com/RC+Trucks/1:6+Huge+Land+Rover+LR3+SUV+TRUCK+RC+wiPOD+MP3+RTR+RC+Radio+Remote+Control+LR3+RC)

This is very, very bad... I've found almost complete wardrobes for Jack and Ianto so far... All I need is the custom heads at this point. This is very bad.

Oh god, I did not need to know about that. That looks like the base model the Beeb had customised -- and it's an MP3 player as well. You could have a whole new variation on the idea of musicvids with that thing, if you felt like selecting appropriate bits of dialogue to load into it. The greenhouse scene not-that-you-can-call-*that*_dialogue, for starters...

I think I'm seriously going to run with this... This is my new hobby - Something to bring to conventions and have fun with... (And spend money on.)

Buy SUV, customize, load up MP3 player so it roams the halls with Jack and Ianto in it (handcuffed together,) playing the Torchwood theme. Not sure how far I'll go with the customization but I have a dozen ideas already.

Other than custom heads (which I'll bet I could have made by someone craftier than myself,) I've found virtually every piece of clothing I need for both of them (and can sew the rest.) Still missing the stun gun and coffee mug but it's only a matter of time.

Sigh. I'm still figuring out what this is all going to cost and building my shopping list. Maybe I'll abandon it in the end but I know myself... I think I'm really going there. :::headdesk:::

And I really didn't want you to see this side of me... :-(

I edited and published over a dozen fanfic zines. I own an original BBC costume. I have the Comet Miniatures kit of the Liberator still sitting on the top shelf of my wardrobe, waiting for me to finally Do Something with it. I am in no position to call someone else's SUV black...

I was going to say "You're such a freak," but I'm thinking I won't get a lot of support.

[julesjones]

You may possibly get replies along the line of "It's taken you this long to notice?"

It's not as if I've been *shy* about being a geek. :-)
