Medicine Man

Shaman mini bust - Bowen Designs - sculpted by Jim Maddox

From the pages of Uncanny X-Men and as a member of Canada's premiere super-team, Alpha Flight introduces Shaman. Also known as Michael Twoyoungmen, he was trained as a magician from his grandfather in shamanic tradition and given a powerful medicine pouch, one that housed a pocket dimension and from which he could draw forth nearly anything he could imagine.

Another superb display of quality statue craft. This mini bust was made by Bowen Designs and sculpted by Jim Maddox. It is 6 inches tall and limited to 1500.



 
 

Lockheed over Captain Flint on the shoulder roost

That little dragon what hangs with Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat) of the X-Men is known as Lockheed. A purple alien from another world fetching the fine looks of other over the shoulder companions.


Captain Flint on the other hand, is the name of the parrot of Long John Silver. Complete with carpenters for prosthetists, they of the world from Treasure Island. Pirates and treasure and booty crows with no phones involved.


Not everyone's cut out or comfortable having a creature hover over their shoulders, reading their newspapers, smelling their hair or carving up a notch or two deep in the skin and muscle.


Dragons breathe fire and brimstone. Lockheed seems to be a slight bit empathic. Parrots spout wise cracks with a limited repertoire of curses and profanity in for the mix. Captain Flint might not be a Norwegian Blue but it's not unlikely to be in the same kind of refundable state.


Other options besides tiny dragons and foul-mouthed parrots are out there. Such as cats with cheesy grins and chips for those angry at the world.



 
 

Raye Nova the sunshine for rainbows of fire

Frankie Raye, one-time girlfriend of Fantastic Four's Johnny Storm aka The Human Torch. But, in order to save the world, sacrificed herself body and soul to join as one of the heralds of Galactus. Taking up more than just the new mantle of Nova, her physique went under a few changes.

An ability to manipulate the power cosmic allowed her to surround herself within a flaming aura.

Few people in the world, none really, can pull off the look of locks raging with flames of fire and burning with more than just the itch of a dry scalp. Of which is possibly an indication of dandruff or psoriasis.

Michael Jackson, while filming a commercial for Pepsi (tastes a little flatter than Coke, but then who's tasting these shots?) burnt more of his scalp than his hits off Thriller and Bad ever could.
