June Lineup & News

Greetings friends,

I owe you an apology for the late preview this month. I had my 6 month checkups this past week for my ongoing DISH condition and the elbow situation that came with it, and honestly everything else took a back seat. Thank you for your patience, it genuinely means a lot.

The good news is I am here now and I have some really exciting things lined up for you this month. Let's get into it.

Hephaestus — God of the Forge (Mint Condition, Mint Partners)

Hephaestus is the Greek god of fire, metalworking and craftsmanship. Despite being cast out from Olympus he forged the weapons and armor of the gods themselves. This is my own original interpretation of the character, focusing on the raw power and complexity behind one of mythology's most underappreciated figures. Addition to the Greek gods collection im building.

Nightgaunt — The Faceless Ones (All tiers, New addition to peppermint welcome pack)

Nightgaunts are creatures from H.P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle, first appearing in his poem Fungi from Yuggoth. They are described as thin, black, rubbery humanoids with barbed tails, clawed hands and no facial features whatsoever. Silent and swift, they serve Nodens and inhabit the deepest reaches of the Dreamlands. Addition to the Lovecraftian collection.

Gothmog — Lord of Balrogs (All tiers)

Gothmog was the High Captain of Angband and the Lord of Balrogs in Tolkien's First Age legendarium. He is one of the most powerful servants of Morgoth, responsible for the death of Fëanor and later Fingon during the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. This bust is based on his portrayal in The Silmarillion. Another original concept from Silmarillion descriptions.

Thank you for sticking with me through everything. This community has been one of the constants that keeps me grounded and I never take that for granted. Now let's make this month count.

Love

Fotis
