The Troll

March 4th, 2008 by Horrorwood

大きなおもちゃはたくさんあるけど、これぞ正にビッグなヤツだ!
ジェームス・ジャービスのコミック「Vortigern’s Machine」から出て来た「The Troll」は確実にビッグ級に入る。

このシリーズのフィギュアは他に全て揃っていたものの、こいつはあまりにも大きく、高級なモノだったので、最初は手にすることを諦めてた。ところが、またネットオークションのおかげで(せいで?)半額で手に入るチャンスが現れたので、嫁からの大事な許可を得て、購入をしてしまった…

こいつが届いて、実際に目の前にあったら、サイズに本当にビックリした。「スペースないから、大きいのは買わないで」と言ってた嫁に深くわびる… The Trollは小さい子供とサイズが変わらず、箱に入ったら更にビッグ。証拠として、以下の写真を撮って、彼を屋根裏に追放した。

いつか自分のおもちゃ専用部屋を持つのを楽しみにしている。その日が来たら、The Trollと彼の仲間を飾る予定です。

There are big toys and then there are BIG toys. James Jarvis‘ “The Troll” from his comic Vortigern’s Machine definitely falls into the BIG category. I own all the other figures in this series which are already on the large size and had resided myself to the fact that I would never own this bad boy, because of both his size and cost.

However once again internet auctions provided me with an all too tempting opportunity to get The Troll for half price. After the necessary consultation with my wife I made the purchase.

When he arrived and I beheld him in all his glory even I was taken aback and had to apologise profusely to my wife. The Troll is the size of a small child and his box he is truly massive. I took a few photos as evidence and then he was banished to the loft. I am looking forward to the day when I have that “toy room” I have always dreamed of and have enough room to display The Troll and all his buddies.
