Today we are spotlighting one of Zman's OCD behaviors. Zman LOVES his guys. He's not particular...he spends equal time playing with his Dollar Tree guys as he does with his collectibles. Several years ago he got started with this set of knights. He can spend hours just setting up battle scenes. I mentioned OCD earlier, right? It is imperative that the correct guys be fighting, for instance a mounted archer cannot fight a jouster... duh! Each man has to be balanced perilously on the carpet so as not to tip, allowing the enemy an unfair advantage. Look closely at this scene he and BBomber put together. Notice the poor guy who got his foot tangled in the rope while attempting to scale the castle walls... The thought that goes into preparing these scenes amazes me since the majority of the time I can't get him to use his brain in the most basic of tasks. For instance should we really scale the pool deck then jump into the lower tree limbs in an attempt to capture the perfect leaf? Is is smart to take a disc slide down the slide... you see where I'm going don't you?

LOL. that is so cool, though. ;)
That same attention to detail is what has him scaling walls and leaping to his death trying to capture that perfect leaf. Being a perfectionist can sometimes be a dangerous role!
