Baaaaaaaw! I'm totally gonna go make one now.
"Hm? Oh, that's my Lord. The charred umbrella is his warscythe, the cockroach is his Phylactery, the lunch-box is his resurrection orb, and the fire extinguisher makes him count as having a skimmer body. *start putting down dozens of half-inch-tall terrain pieces that are only big enough to give Wall-E a cover save*"
Alright, there's my Tyrant. The binoculars give him Enhanced Senses, the fire extinguisher means he's a Flyrant, the umbrellas are his Scything Talons, and the cockroach is a Symbiote Ripper, 'kay?

Adorable. If he's thigh-height to a gaurdsman, he'd possibly be to-scale as well!

Five years from now, every model in every miniature game in the entire world will just be Pixar characters. Buzz Lightyear will represent every kind of Marine, Monsters Inc. will be the daemons and other creatures, and boardgames across the land shall be covered in Wall-Es...
Love the paintjob, Xanthos. Again, I'm amazed at how much detail you managed to pack into such a small model. And princess did a fantastic job on the base

Strangely enough, shortly after picking up the 2nd ed box set, I painted my first marine squad to match the Buzz Lightyear colors...

What harm can it do to find out? It's a question that left bruises down the centuries, even more than "It can't hurt if I only take one" and "It's all right if you only do it standing up." Terry Pratchett, Making Money
"Can a magician kill a man by magic?" Lord Wellington asked Strange. Strange frowned. He seemed to dislike the question. "I suppose a magician might," he admitted, "but a gentleman never could." Susanna Clarke Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell

Thank you thank you thanky ou all for the many comments.
As I have said previously, this was such an enjoyable project, since it actually served a purpose (as a gift to my GF).
Also, I learned that I can work with far smaller components than I had previously thought.
I totally see the buzz lightyear concept for marines.

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.
