Toy Show prep!

Our house has been overrun by preparations for the upcoming Toy Show. Thought you might like a sneak peek at the madness.

Craft room chaos

Notice the many empty pop cans and scrap paper EVERYWHERE

Library full of gear to set up our table

Summer 1885

The Council of World Leaders is putting together a team to put a stop to General Groule and Edi! The first two members of The Cavalry are sworn in.

Our future is in the Cavalry's hands!

Spring 1881

More news clips on The Great Ruin have been discovered.

The strange body recovered by the Vega expedition has gone missing.

Who would steal this strange corpse? And what dangers does this relic pose to the public?

And now to show off something different...

So, every Toy Show we make a large set and donate it to the Silent Auction. This show, it's the Turtle van with April, Splinter, Rocksteady, Bebop, and Krang.

 

Similar to the A-team van we built a while ago, this van has magnetic doors that can open and close, and a standard sized Dude fits inside (up to 4 Dudes can fit inside). Splinter's ears make him just a bit too tall, so if you want him to ride in style, you'll need to bend them down slightly.

 

We hope to see you all at the show, and be sure to bid on this completely one of a kind set built entirely out of paper!

 

And of course, the 4 turtles and Shredder will be available for sale at our table if you'd like to complete your set.

Proof I need a larger photo box... maybe something more professional

It's a hold up!

What are they to do?

Why yes, Krang does come out of his Robot Body

Nik- Report for the Council of World Leaders

Nik

Name: Nik
Affiliation: The Cavalry
Alias: N.T.
Date of Birth: 07/10/1856
Sex: Male
Race: Human
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Distinguishing Marks: None
Weapon of Choice: The Death-la Coil
Aptitudes: Electrical and mechanical engineering.

History:
Nik devoted the majority of his life to unlocking the secrets and advancing the knowledge of the relics from the Tempas/Grax war with his friend and partner Edi. That is until one day their differing visions of what to do with these new found wonders came to a head.

Nik believed that these relics should be used for the betterment of mankind and should be given freely to the people. Edi disagreed and the two became bitter enemies from then on.

Nik continued his work in a small laboratory until he received word from a friend in Sweden that Edi had released an ancient alien who was bent on universal domination. Nik then approached the newly formed Council of World Leaders with this information. All involved agreed General Groule and Edi had to be stopped.

The Council of World Leaders created a task force codenamed "The Cavalry" which Nik not only helped form, but joined to become the resident engineering expert.

Currently Nik uses all his expertise to arm and prepare The Cavalry for the battle against General Groule and more importantly, Edi.

Edi- Report for the Council of World Leaders

Edi

Name: Edi
Affiliation: Groule's Fist
Alias: T.A.E.
Date of Birth: 02/11/1847
Sex: Male
Race: Human
Hair: Grey
Eyes: Black
Distinguishing Marks: None
Weapon of Choice: The Slamophone
Aptitudes: Inventing, business acumen and smear campaigns.

History:
Edi devoted the majority of his life to unlocking the secrets and advancing the knowledge of the relics from the Tempas/Grax war with his friend and partner Nik. That is until one day their differing visions of what to do with these new found wonders came to a head.

Edi believed that these relics should bring them fame, and more importantly, fortune. Nik disagreed and the two became bitter enemies from then on.

Edi used all of the knowledge he gained from the relics to amass a great fortune and build the greatest laboratory any scientist or inventor could dream of. This still wasn't enough for Edi; he wanted to rule the world with his advanced knowledge of the relics.

Desperate for this, he released General Groule from a laboratory in Sweden to try and discover the location of The Great Ruin, which he was sure was the key to his goal of ruling the world. Much to his dismay, he fell into serving General Groule in Groule's Fist.

He now serves General Groule loyally but is waiting for the moment he can mount a mutiny and take over Groule's Fist to use it for his own heinous purposes.

Kiva- Report for the Council of World Leaders

Kiva

Name: Kiva
Affiliation: The Cavalry
Alias: Little One
Date of Birth: 03/21/66,003,121 BC
Sex: Female
Race: Tempas
Hair: None
Eyes: Purple
Distinguishing Marks: None
Weapon of Choice: Power Crystals
Aptitudes: Expert in mystical powers and universal history

History:
One day while Nik was trying to improve the Death-la Coil, he tried to increase the power by using a mystical orb he bought from an archeologist friend. When he tried to turn it on, the combination of mysticism and technology caused an unpredictable time rift. Kiva was immediately transported from the peak of the Tempas/Grax war 66 million years ago to 1890. After figuring out what happened, Kiva immediately berated Nik for doing something so foolish and explained the danger of combining tech and the mystic. She warned him he could have destroyed the universe.

Upon questioning Kiva further, Nik realized just how much knowledge she had and what an asset she could be to The Cavalry. Nik brought her to Magnus, hoping he would agree that she should join the team. Magnus did.

This was far more respect than Kiva had ever received in her life. In the Tempas race, the singular tentacle on her head was a sign of weakness. She was never shown respect, nor were her opinions taken seriously. She thought she could prove herself by joining the Tempas military, and even though she was at the top of her class in all her training, it was to no avail. When she joined the Tempas/Grax war she was nicknamed "Little One" and only given menial tasks.

After Magnus and Nik showed the respect she longed for, she quickly joined The Cavalry and now serves as their smartest and advisor and one of their most powerful soldiers.
