No, this isnt because of Kropserkel's upcoming run (which I am sure will blow this out of the water), just a coincidence in timing. Some of you may remember me making one of the about a year ago. I was fairly happy with it then, but there were a couple thing I felt could be improved on. The crown is cast resin, and the crystal is acrylic. The actual staff is made from a wooden post. Here are the pics. Let me know what you think (sadly this may have to go to ebay because of recent money problems )
