NAMES:  Reginald and the Queen (it should be pretty easy to tell who's who)

HEIGHT:  The Queen: about 3.5 inches; Reginald: about 4 inches

CAME FROM:  Michael's Crafts

Before the wrestlers, before the Plastiqueville Photo Club or the Houseworks clan - there were Reginald and the Queen.  Along with them came a whole host of characters, many from some random fantasy world (including a bunch of dastardly pirates), and a few from more mundane places (like down on the farm).  I enjoyed posing them in little mini-scenes, and even made up a story where the Queen was kidnapped by the pirates!  Thanks to them, I learned the ins and outs of my macro lens, and started to build this miniature world that continues on today.

This is one place in Plastiqueville where there are actually duplicates.  The Queen went on walkabout for a while, so I bought a second one.  Queen #1 (above) has a serenity about her (she reminds me of my mom).  Queen #2, on the other hand, looks a little crazy in the head (I think it's something in her eyes).  Queen #1 eventually returned from her wanderings (she was hiding out in a camera bag).  Reginald also has a couple of identical brothers who show up from time to time.

Sometimes the wild domain of the Queen meets a world of farm animals and the ordinary citizens who care for them. There are even monsters and astronauts!  In such a diverse world, sometimes you need to invite everyone to a formal introduction.  I have a feeling that there are more stories in this Plastiqueville neighborhood...
