Hello boys! from the Scarlet Witch

Almost perfectly spherical!
Well, that’s a bit astonishing, isn’t it? I mean, I know Wanda manipulates probability, but can even she do enough to create such an improbable bosom? Actually, you don’t get the full effect of this unless you see the maquette on a lower shelf of a shop window. It’s based on the work of Mark Brooks – for another example of his vision of the Scarlet Witch, have a look here, where Wanda appears to have two rather large lightly toasted bread rolls stuffed into her top.
We also note the further progress of the Scarlet Witch’s costume from a relatively modest swimsuit to something not to be found outside a branch of Ann Summers.
I find it hard to imagine why anyone who ever wanted to have women round to their house would ever own something like this, but clearly there is a market (though the fact that the London Forbidden Planet still has at least one of a limited edition maquette two years after it was released may suggest that the market isn’t as big as some people think).

I don’t understand these statues, they seem to scream ‘I bought this, I’m sad.’
