Introduction: Ofelia from "Pan's Labyrinth"

A while ago I saw pictures of Ofelia from "Pan's Labyrinth" but didn't know the movie yet. Finally I have watched it and promptly ordered the figure. I never learn LOL
She comes with the stone, you even can take the eye out! Plus fairies, key and book.

Plus, giant robots are kinda my thing XD

Really? I never would have guessed ;)

I first heard of it when Burn Gorman (from "Torchwood") was announced of being in it, but not even that would make me watch. He seems to have made it quite big in Hollywood though!

I think I saw Doug first in "Star Trek Discovery", the first three episodes that I watched. He was the only one that kinda interested me, the rest was rather flat. I had heard his name thrown around when "The Shape of Water" came out and everyone praising him, so it kinda stuck with me.

When I then watched "Hellboy" I thought he kinda looks familiar (the eyes!) and looked it up and see, it was him. And yes, this character does indeed feel similar to the Amphibian Man. He has a very graceful way to walk. Can you believe this man is 60 already? Unbelieveable! I don't watch Discovery but aparently in recent episodes he was also seen out of costume, as himself. In case you're interested.

I certainly don't know many directors by name as I prever deciding on the story or on the actors in it but not the director (like I blindly watch anthing with Tom Hanks as I know it will be good), but I might be interested to check out some more of his work as well. I like people who have a vision and stick with it.

Well, I am pretty quiet about it ;D

Pan's Labyrinth is when I first became aware of him but The Shape of Water is what made me pay attention. Then came Disco and I was like, wait, that can't be the same Doug Jones... But it was! I didn't know his age, though, that's even more wild. I don't follow Disco either but I am curious to see him as himself, so I may check that out.

I'm not good with director names either but there are a few I watch out for and I'm trying to pay more attention to it lately. Direction can have such a huge impact on the story and characters, plus some directors are prolific enough that you can get a decent idea of what to expect based on the kind of project they like to do.
