An interstellar transmission from the Tim Bruckner Shop:
Two of Tim Bruckner's most space-age sculpts are now together in one deluxe diorama! Major Marjorie and the Martian Mangler have been placed on a single environmental pedestal and hand-painted by Tim himself. Marjorie even comes with a removable helmet accessory! This piece is one-of-a-kind, measuring 16 inches long, 8.5 inches tall and 5.75 inches wide. It's a must-have for fans of old space-age serials, pulp novels and the pin-up art of George Petty.
From de Mopperson's "Brief Stories of Famous People," 1957:
"Marjorie Pettice was the star of the very successful radio show, 'Major
Marjorie, Space Star Ranger.' It ran from 1938 to 1943. In 1941 a
series of films were produced starring Miss Pettice, produced and
directed by her husband Paul Pettice. The films propelled her into even
greater popularity, until one day, on the set of 'Major Marjorie and the Martian Menace,' a full-size
paper-mache spaceship broke free of its flying wires and landed on Paul
Pettice, killing him on the spot. The film was never completed, and
Marjorie Pettice retired from show business to live in seclusion in a
modest 30-room house in the Colby Canyon, California."
From the unpublished paperback adaptation of "Major Marjorie and the Martin Menace":
"Her helmet began to fog up. She had to get her breathing under
control. She had to get her breathing under control and force down the
panic. Perspiration stung her eyes and pooled at the base of neck,
seeping into the Hydroseal collar. She brought her weapon to eye level
trying to read the fuel gauge. Half full? Was it half full? There it
was again, that cracking, popping sound. She was tempted to turn off the
external mics Paul had recently installed. She could hear even the
faintest sound surrounding her. And that was the problem. They came from
anywhere and everywhere, with no sense of direction. They could not be
trusted. She found that out the hard way. He was out there. The Mangler
was out there. She had to get her breathing under control and force the
panic down."

Have you been good this year? No? Excellent. Good is boring. Even Santa's elves get on the Naughty list every once in a while. We're not sure if this fellow is one of Santa's lot, or some sort of cookie-making elf, or just a freelance cobbler, but he clearly knows what you've been up to, although it's not clear if he entirely disapproves. Measuring 13.5 inches tall, "Something to Consider" is Tim Bruckner's latest one-of-a-kind creation, a detailed facial study of an impish elf, set atop a colorful plume of smoke. Is it pixie dust? Sleeping powder? Pipeweed? We have no idea. But it's certainly something to consider.
