The International House of Mojo

Is it cool to think that both the fake unofficial replica game props talked about here look cool?

No worries, mate. I wasn't the least bit interested in garnering your "respect" in any way, shape or form; I just had a hard time wrapping my head around your self-aggrandizing efforts to turn a fairly innocuous headline into an excuse to fellate your own artistic abilities... especially since you then pointed out that the two versions are based on entirely different depictions of the same subject.

But hey, we'll call it good in the typically passive-aggressive manner of such exchanges, and seal it with some "dismissive" platitude like... "to each their own," or "whatever floats your boat." I'm flexible.

Alright, I caved in and ordered the medallion... also he told me that he is going to make more idols mid/end of June. I still have to think about that one though...

Art will always be subjective, so I can respect your opinion, crudely-phrased as it may be. But if you really want to split hairs, there is technically no single "official" Atlantean horned idol, since several versions exist between the game and the graphic novel. Fedora Smith's painted resin copy is based on the 'game over' screen, while my copper statue is patterned on the more realistic idol in the screenshot at the beginning.

As for the pendant, RelicRaider makes the most perfectly proportioned cast-metal version I've ever seen, regardless of lacking a functional (and wholly useless) bead chamber. As a matter of aesthetic taste, I prefer owning one of RR's celebrated museum-quality collector's pieces over a make-believe amulet carved from a block of plastic resin.

But, to each his own.

"Case closed!"

Okay, I'm sorry. You're saying that this:

Has bragging rights over this:

Fair play to your artistic confidence, but you're outta your goddamned mind. And I prefer the amulet with the actual "bead chambers," as a purely nitpicky and nostalgic aesthetic choice.

RelicRaider makes the absolute most perfect Nur-Ab-Sal pendant ever created, while I personally have made the world's only Atlantean horned idol fashioned in real copper, a fusion of the artifact seen in the game and the Dark Horse graphic novel.
Case closed!

Friend made this necklace a couple of years ago.

I have traveled the world wearing it looking for Atlantis.

I might have wept into my morning coffee a bit, after seeing this. Just sayin'.
