I haven't posted statues in close to 3 years now. Price hike, slowdown in Sideshow's Court of the Dead series(which is what I was primarily collecting) made it so that I became a bit more picky, then COVID hit and made my job security a bit iffy, I decided to stop altogether until things stabilized. They have. 
So these 2 new statues are from XM Studios, my first from them and I am impressed, the packaging is spectacular I don't see how they can get damaged short of being crushed.
These are the first two they made from their Magic The Gathering line, Chandra Nalaar and Lilianna Vess. I'm not really a MTG player but these statues fell totally within my personal taste for stuff like this. So here they are...
Chandra Nalaar with Brown Hair.
Chandra Nalaar with Red Fiery Hair
Liliana Vess with Veil
Lilianna Vess without the veil, but veil is on her belt instead.
And both of them side by side the way I am displaying them for now which Chandra with Fiery Red Hair and Lilianna Vess without her Veil
Happy to be back into collecting again.

I will eventually, I keep it there for now because for next few days I’ll keep switching them until I’m fixed on what I think is the best way to display them, then it goes into my accessories drawer since a lot of statues have options and I keep all extra parts in there for easy access. I tend to change some every year or so.
Sorry for giving you the creeps.

When you look at these, do you mutter catchphrases and magic noises and stuff?I haven't posted statues in close to 3 years now.

have you used anything like this before?My office desk is against a wall where the ceiling comes down and the only source of light is an overhead fan that is in the center of the room. There's just not enough light in this room especially at this desk where my two personal monitors are and my work monitor.
Was thinking of something like this to provide some light on the desk that isn't just "monitor" light.
Or maybe another alternative that I haven't considered if anyone can think of something.
Something like this may work since it can be adjusted to above my monitors and use a clamp on the desk behind them.

I think that’s an eventual long term solution if we stay here long enough. Previously it was twin boys’ room so the overhead or night stand light would have been enough. They probably didn’t intend to have a desk up against it. Will try to snap a picture tomorrow.
I like the corner LED thing. There was some ad about the “streamer” or “gamer” lights that are smaller and sit on desks also.

i get what youre saying about the lights, my den/office is above the garage and also just working off the ceiling fan lights, same as you, the ceiling is sloped so ican't really add pot lights,
if you don't want to put in super lights in your ceiling fan, you could add extra sockets to it, like this
i had that for my basement and garage in ks, and worked rather well.
if your ceiling faan is the flower type
you can just get an extension
if your ceiling fan is the type w/ bulbs in the middle, you can expand it w/ a doubler, thats what i did and gave me lots of light
