The Syndic action figures sold well enough for cheap Asian knock-offs to make their appearance.

The red pants and turtleneck should accelerate a redshirt’s fate exponentially.

That time Jerry Anderson got a small budget increase and blew it all on gold leaf.

Um, so the cover artist owns TWO of those wooden artist manikins you’re supposed to pose to aid you when sketching and planning paintings… but he still didn’t do any painting or drawing???

Albert Broccoli: “Mr. Anderson – may I call you Gerry? – we’re doing a big-budget production. Sock puppets just won’t do.”
Gerry Anderson: “Not sock puppets, marionettes! And think of the money you’ll save on actors! Look, here’s the figure that’s been fatally covered with gold paint by the villain…”
Albert Broccoli: “Thank you. Don’t call us, we’ll call you.”
Gerry Anderson: “Wait til you see the James Bond car! It’s got extendable wings and jet engines…”

The Roy Batty and Pris action figures suck.

Given that the book’s premise is a world run by the Mob, any other possible cover must have been vetoed, probably by someone called Vito.

That’s two covers in a row [1] by this author featuring shiny-faced dummies in red velour: one has to wonder if he was going for some sort of personal theme.

@Bruce – I get the feeling back at Unknown Artists Institute that David Davies was snapping Polaroids of the nude models instead of sketching them.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a follow-up cookbook:
“The Syndic Ate”

@Dr. Bob: Hey, he painted them red, what more do you want?
@JP: GSS.

The dummy on the left looks like a young Garry Shandling. The one on the right looks like a dummy.

It’s great to hear them sing again, but I still think these “ABBAtars” look fake.

@B’man: Great find! He’s certainly still popular here at GSS. I bet he worked cheap.
That Enterprise model with an extra bit bodged on wasn’t fooling anyone, Dave.
