Here are photos of the Maleficent Medium Figure that was recently released by Disney Parks. I first saw it in World of Disney in Disneyland, and I bought it the same day. The photos are taken in daylight, with a DSLR camera.
The figure is mainly made of resin. Diablo is flocked, so he is pitch black and feels like velvet. There is a circular base ringed with green flames. Underneath is a felt pad. It is a large, heavy piece. The dimensions are 14'' H x 10'' W x 9 1/2'' D, with a base that is 9 1/2'' in diameter. It weighs 6 1/4 pounds. It was designed by Casey Jones, and is part of the Art of Disney Theme Parks Collection. It costs $125.

Raph better lookout' tho'.. cuz this time J.D. has a lil' punky putrid possee !! !! >v<
At the end of World War II, the victorious Allies captured both German scientists and research papers in aerodynamics which had given the Germans a slight edge in technology during the war. Among this was research into swept wings, which promised better handling at high speeds, a feature used successfully in the Messerschmitt Me 262. All the combatant nations had been developing jet fighters at the end of the war, and the Soviet Union was no different: like the Western Allies, it found the swept wing concept to be a perfect solution to add speed without sacrificing stability; unlike the West, the Soviets could not take advantage of it due to a lack of adequate jet engines. Soviet metallurgy was simply not up to the task, and experimental jet fighters were severely underpowered.
Engine designer Vladimir Klimov, however, came up with a novel idea: he asked the British in 1946 if they could provide a few examples of their latest engine. To the stunned surprise of Klimov, the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau, and Josef Stalin, the British complied, providing Klimov with the plans for the Rolls-Royce Nene turbojet, one of the most successful jet engines in history. Klimov quickly reverse engineered it as the VK-1, and just like that, the Soviets had the perfect engine for their planned jet interceptors.
MiG OKB already had a jet fighter in service, the MiG-9, but it was a poor performer. By modifying a MiG-9 into the I-310 prototype, with VK-1 propulsion and swept wings and tail surfaces, the resultant aircraft was superb: it was very maneuverable and fast. It was placed into production as the MiG-15. This in turn was superseded by the more advanced and reliable MiG-15bis, which added airbrakes and a few minor avionics changes. Though pilots hated the cramped cockpit, which forced them to fly without heated or pressurized flight suits—a real concern in frigid Russian winters—they loved its responsiveness and speed. Though the MiG-15 was designed to intercept the B-29 Superfortress, hence its heavy cannon armament, it could quite easily hold its own in a dogfight. It rapidly replaced most propeller-driven fighters in the Soviet inventory, and was quickly supplied to Soviet client states.
The MiG-15 would get its first taste of action during the Chinese Civil War, when Russian-flown MiG-15s flew on behalf of the Communist Chinese against the Nationalists; a P-38L was shot down on 28 April 1950 for the type’s first victory. By far, however, it would be Korea where the MiG-15 would see the most action.
After starting out well, the North Korean armies were, by fall 1950, in full rout from South Korea, pursued by United Nations forces. The World War II-era North Korean People’s Air Force had been annihilated by UN aircraft, and though China intended to intervene on behalf of North Korea, it lacked trained pilots. Stalin agreed to secretly provide both MiG-15s and the pilots to fly them, operating from bases in China across the Yalu River from North Korea. The pilots were instructed to speak in what little Korean they knew, and never fly over territory where they might be captured. The former was rarely heeded in the heat of combat, while the short range of the MiG-15 limited pilots to flying in and around the Yalu valley in any case. This rapidly became known as “MiG Alley.”
By November 1950, Russian-flown MiG-15s were in combat against American and British aircraft, both sides fielding pilots who had already flown combat in World War II. Both sides were to find they were close to evenly matched as well: the Russians claimed the first jet-to-jet victory on 1 November, when a MiG-15 shot down a USAF F-80C; four days later, they suffered their first loss, to a US Navy F9F Panther. Most engagements were to occur between the F-86 Sabre and the MiG-15.
Once more, the two were closely matched. The MiG-15 had a better rate of climb, was superior above 33,000 feet, and had harder hitting cannon armament. The F-86’s six machine guns were often ineffective against the rugged MiG, but it was more maneuverable, especially at low level, and if the machine guns did not cause as much damage, they fired at three times the rate of the MiG-15’s cannons, and usually hit what they aimed at, due to a superior radar-ranging gunsight. Both sides had to deal with instability at high speeds: if the MiG pilot got into trouble, he would climb out of danger, whereas the Sabre pilot would dive. The pilots were evenly matched, though the Russians would later admit that the Americans were better trained.
After the end of the Korean War, the MiG-15 remained in service, though it slowly began to be replaced by the MiG-17 and MiG-19. Nonetheless, MiG-15s were involved in eleven separate incidents during the Cold War, shooting down several US and British reconnaissance aircraft and an Israeli airliner. By the mid-1950s, however, the MiG-15 was beginning to show its age, and in combat with Sidewinder-equipped F-86s of Taiwan and Israeli Super Mysteres, it came off second best. Gradually, single-seat MiG-15s were retired from active service, though hundreds of two-seat MiG-15UTI “Midget” trainers remained in service; the MiG-15UTI is still flown by several air forces to this day. About 16,000 MiG-15s were produced in the Soviet Union, Poland, and Czechslovakia, and a good number remain in existence today in museums and numerous flyable examples, including 43 in the United States.
Dad was a big fan of the 1950s movie "The Hunters," starring Robert Mitchum and based on a book written by a Korean War F-86 pilot. It's regarded as one of the most accurate movies made about the air war in Korea. The antagonist was nicknamed "Casey Jones" by the USAF pilots, and he was regarded as a skilled and dangerous "honcho" (USAF slang for Russian MiG-15 pilots). Casey Jones carried a small patch under the canopy with the legend "7-11," the best roll in dice.
In the movie, the MiGs were simulated by USAF F-84Fs, but Dad built Casey Jones in the correct MiG-15bis flown by Communist pilots during the war. Though no MiG in Korea flew openly with Russian red stars, the red wingtips and nose were common to differentiate the MiGs from the F-86.
They don't mess around.
There was also a buffalo head and a stuffed "lion" but neither were quite as patriotic as this.

-->> ..Hi-quality Poster art postcards direct from China.
The poster images are from the fourth Turtles film ..they include a few images i've not seen before and from a few diff- countries.
I cannot tell if they are official postcards.. but the print quality is really well done..so they are kinda sweet to me.

Custom fig I had made last year for my Halloween film. He did a 2 second cameo along with a disgruntled Raphael. He was created the same time as when I made my aquaman film. Casey comes equipped with 3 types of beating sticks including a set of bats, totalling 4 weapons.

This small museum in downtown Water Valley is dedicated to the life of famous railroader Casey Jones and the Illinois Central Railroad, which was formerly a major part of the fabric of this town.

This Rogers Ten-Wheeler 4-6-0 steam train is located at the museum at Casey Jones Village in Jackson, TN. It has been re-branded to appear to be Illinois Central #382, which is the same model of locomotive. Ole 382 (aka Cannonball) is the train that Casey Jones famously engineered.
