TO WAR, SOLDIERS! TO WAR!

Turtle, Fish and I have a bunch of collectable toy figurines obtained from the local toy store. We have knights, wizards, faeries, etc. Most of them were given to us by the owner, a friend, because they were broken during shipping and could not be sold. Yesterday I took out the bag of broken figurines and repaired them. Some did not have the necessary parts to repair them as they were before they broke. For these, I made custom figurines that you will not find elsewhere. We set all of them up in a war scene in which nobody has yet been defeated. On one side or the other there is a musketeer, who bears a striking resemblance to Will Turner in the second “Pirates of The Caribbean” movie, fighting a king, whom we named King Bob. There also is a dwarf king fighting a wizard, a demonic knight fighting against a hero, and a wraith on a horse fighting a Viking on a horse. On each side, there is a firing squad of pirates armed with muskets. There are also various other warriors fighting each other.
