With no collaborations whatsoever, Dodger Designs brings you (or will soon bring you, rather), Fighting Man Mike! Prepared for every challenge with his trusty two-handed sword (included), protected from danger by his chainmaille hauberk and helm (both included), yet still civilised enough to keep his moustachios well-trimmed (moustache also included). Whether he be a Knight of Camelot, a defender of Gondor, a Holy Crusader or a Knight of Solamnia, Fighting Man Mike is ready to take on all manner of evil and cut large holes in them. He'll even defend against maurauding barbarians! The included boots, after extensive and exhaustive beta testing, have turned out to be the best Mike boots either I or Pirewyn have *at all*. We couldn't make them tear by trying. Pirewyn said I should charge $40 for just the boots, but I won't. Helm, Hauberk, Boots, Moustache, Sword and Textures all will be a mere $19.99 once it's approved for the marketplace.

Great job Dodger, I can hardly wait for him to get to the Market Place :)

I'm hoping it's soon 'cause I have another on the way -- a stand-alone figure that will be theoretically able to wear Mike clothes but will not use Mike's geometry (though you'll want to magnet any clothing to make it fit more appropriately). The geometry is all done, except the MTs and the chopping up and scaling part. Have UVMapping, texturing, and making it into a character still to go. But I think I can finish it tonight and have it uploaded by morning. But I don't want to have two things appear at the same time. Oh, and I'm not gonna say what it/he/she is. Let's just call it a Hallowe'en surprise, and I'll say that it can be used in almost any time period from late Roman on, and certainly any fantasy world.
