Lots To Do!

Hey Gang!

Apenimon is finding that he has a lot to do!
He has a long list of things that he need to get accomplished!
I have to make another sofa, two desks, three artist stalls, four beds, a clock,
some chairs....
 He doesn't think he can get it done by himself.
Apenimon: Man, that's a long list!
 He thinks he will need some help and might have to call in a few favors.
 He calls his his old friend Ahiga.  Ahiga came to stay a few days and is probably
having breakfast at the longhouse.
Apenimon: Hey can you come out to the stall and give me a hand?
He know he will need some skilled labor too so he calls Harold, one of his old
military buddies,

Ahiga show up with a thermos of coffee.
Apenimon: Thanks for  coming! You brought coffee too! Great!
Ahiga: No problem! Glad to help! Rae sent the coffee.
Apenimon: I have a long list of things I need to do for here.
Ahiga: It is quite interesting to see how things run around here.
Apenimon: You and your wife should think about moving here!  I would love to
have you both here.  I know Rae would too!
Ahiga: I will definitely give it some thought!
Just then Harold arrives.
Apenimon: That was fast! Thanks for coming!
Harold: No problem. I know you needed help.  I may need you to help me later.
Apenimon: This is my friend Harold. He is a carpenter,  an electrician and
general contractor.
Ahiga: Nice to meet you!

Harold: Nice to meet you too!

Apenimon: Let's start with the desk!
Harold: I love the wood on this piece!
Harold: I know you have your tool box but I have my tool box too!
Apenimon: Great I'll have you work on the fine details!
Later they are able to make good progress. 
Ahiga: Oh! Can I use your phone to call my wife?
Apenimon: Go right ahead!
Ahiga: I think this is her number.  I really should try to remember it!
 Ring, Ring!
Ahiga: Hey honey, how's it going?
Sky: The other speaker is about done.
I'm getting ready to go on next! 
I'm kinda nervous!  You never know with technology.  I'm doing a talk and a
PowerPoint!
Ahiga: You'll do just fine!  Good Luck!
Sky: Thanks!  See you when I get home.
Ahiga: I love you!
Sky: I love you too!
Loud  applauding!
Dr. Rodriguez: OK, that went well! You're next!
Dr. Rodriguez:  I'm getting a seat. I really want to hear your talk!

Narrator : And next... Dr. Iron Knife on native people and their diet.
Loud applause!
Hello! I'm Dr. Iron Knife.
I'm going to speak to you today about the diet of Native Peoples.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

He Has Arrived! Iron Knife!

Hey Gang!

My Iron knife Valor vs Venom arrived and I am please with him 
for the most part!  He has a great head-sculpt and a lot of cool accessories! 

The head





He has a great face with plenty of character!  I love his face and even his
sculpted hair.  You know, you don't always feel like mess with a dolls hair
to get the photo just right. Having dolls or action figure that do require work
for a photo is nice from time to time.  His head scarf comes off which is a plus.
I have seen some doll and action figures where it was painted on. I can even
use it for other dolls.




His eyes are painted well.  I purchase a GI Joe Heavy Duty (Adewale Akinnuoye
Agbaje) and his eyes were kinda crossed because of where the white dot of the
eye was place.  


That was unusual for a Joe.



He has a black one piece cloth outfit that Velcro in the back.  It might lend itself for
other uses…. we will see.  The gun is really long!  I mean really long and kinda old 
fashion in the way it looks.  I probably will sell it.


I have a ton of action figure weapons around here but we will see on that too. His
gauntlets aren’t painted on but are attached to his arm.  They float around it not
quite turning all the way around. I think I can cut the off and won’t have to rebody
him.

I still might want him on a taller body later on but his body will do for now.
The gauntlets are there to hold the eagle on.  The eagle “Freedom is the best
thing that comes with this action figure! 


With a brown body and a white head with a gold beak, Freedom is pretty cool! 





There is some kind of wire in his wings so his wings can be posed.

There is great detail on the feathers of his wings too.  I think you would see it more
if his wings weren’t a solid brown.  Freedom could benefit from a few with and gray
feathers.

So with a name like Iron Knife, you would expect that he would have a great knife
and he does!


This bad boy really looks like it could do some damage!  There is a brown suede
looking scabbard for his big knife.

He will be rocking the knife if I have anything so say about it. The boots and
knee pads are made well.

I can see them working into a story or two.  I give Iron Knife a 9.5 on the doll/action
figure scale!

In is story here, he is part Navajo and Apache. He will keep Iron knife as his
last name. His first name is Ahiga.  It is Apache for he fights.  I saw this
action figure OOAK as an  Apache on the web.  I liked the outfit and might try
to make it.



OK, Thanks For Looking!
