I love the Empire Strikes Back and I love a Tautaun. They are of the era I grew up on of stop motion by the late, great Ray Harryhausen. The cuts between the physical prop and running across the snow are so reminiscent of The Golden Voyage of Sinbad and The Mysterious Island etc

So thos year when walking around Dublin Comic Con I nearly fell over my crutches when I rounded a corner and saw the guys behind DCC had included a brand new display as seen below. Let’s just say my only regret was I couldn’t have gotten to sit on him. I’ll just have to make do with my 12 inch collector’s series one with Han Solo.

I am a resident of Northern Ireland and have been a life long science fiction and horror fan. My desire to write for his favourite show Doctor Who at the age of fifteen led to the birth of the Time warriors series. I am the creator of the Time Warriors and Zombie Blues books. I am a regular attendee at conventions and infamously fell and broke his shoulder at his first Walker Stalker convention in London but still managed to keep my photo ops with both Chandler Riggs and Danai Gurira. I am a keen photographer and also have a secret desire to be the first Irish Doctor Who. Russell T Davies I have stories galore for the show!
