(Late) last night I was considering getting a commander for my Firefly, so I went down the rabbithole that is the interwebs looking for a suitable figure. I came across this one from Forgebear, and I seriously considered getting it. He looks all British and proper, great bushy mustache and all...

...and then through the magic of algorithms this video popped up in my Youtube recommendations...
phpBB [video]


So, if I get this commander figure for my Firefly, it is obviously his first day. And his more experienced crew has forgotten to tell him some very important information... ;D


TTFN,
Rob

You will be wise to buy 2 of him, that way you can get his first day in line of march all prim & proper , then a few weeks of combat all haggard & singed :haha: :haha:

Your as bad as my eldest daughter Sarah, Her Grandfather had a mustache so everyone with a mustache was Ganda.
If you think that chap looks like Nigel Mansell then I suggest you add more water to whatever you are drinking :haha: :haha: :haha:
At least Sarah had an excuse she was 2 and I am pretty certain you have scraped past that :lolno:

Dear God Rob,

Those blokes were some tough one's! 8O :crazy: Thanks for the info, I never knew that about the Firefly. Nothing like having your cannon belch and vomit flames, fumes, powder, smoke, etc. back into a tight confined space! :wtf:

Cheers,
Eric.
