I don't think it's you. These are angry looking alright and down right evil looking! . All things consider they are Christmas ordimates and probably should not look so angry. I think it is the style of Stienbach. Personally I don't see what my wife see's in them because there is nothing cute about them. Some of these are actually worth a serious penny and there are actually collectors of these things.

I've been trying to talk the wife into selling a few of them so I can expand my lens collection. Or maybe a 5D would be sweet. We could put a few good lenses to much more enjoyment. She won't have anything to do with it though....

Thanks hope you enjoyed my Christmas Series...

lol..... nice. Yeah, My wife used to collect stuff too... just run out of places to put things and they stop!! lol She accused me of being an "over collector" cause i had alot of coca cola stuff.. but 90% of thats gone now..lol

That is the exact same problem with these nutcrackers. Since they are made of wood and 18" - 24" large they take up a lot of space. These aren't all of them either. She has probably added 4 more to the collection since the time of these pictures.

The more I look at them the more evil they look. Then again I would look evil too if I was made to bust nuts with my mouth. They need a little smuggy face on them. . Maybe the wife will let my paint them with smuggy faces on them and everyone will be happy. Except me cause I'll be sleeping in the garage.

See ya....

yeah and after you do that, they come alive in the night and carry you off to their "Nut cracker" land... BWaaa haaa haaa!!

Hey, what was that old 1970's horror flick about the yound couple buy this old house and theres these little monster type guys living under the fire place... they hate light and while they are dragging the girl off to a certain doom, she grabbs up a camera and starts taking photos of them with the flash and it scares em ... good movie.. Then there was the one with the little tribal statue that the instructions read "if the chain falls off (it had a little chain around its waiste) the statue will come alive" and guess what, it came off and this little tribal warrior dude with a spear tried to kill the girl..lol I watch too much bad horror movies i know.. but i cant help it, B movies ROCK!!!
