Don Quixote - Nuts Planet

[Larsen E. Whipsnade]

Hear me, heathens and wizards
And serpents of sin
All your dastardly doings are past
For a holy endeavor is now to begin
And virtue shall triumph at last!

I am I, Don Quixote ,the Lord of la Mancha
Onward to glory I go!



Cleaned up and ready for primer. Great character and beautifully cast with very little clean up or assembly required (although the mustache tips are a royal pain in the a$$). For a complete and thorough review and critique I refer you to Nap's comprehensive review of several years ago.
