i want the secret to be dead! will make this in gold if you want =)

I'm ashamed to admit I don't recognise all the 'bad' guys... can anyone enlighten me?

I don't know one of the bad guys. From left ro right:

Fiery LeChuck (Curse of Monkey Island)
Ghost/Undead Elaine (Huh? Where did she came from?...)
??? (Seems kinda familiar though)
Sordid (Simon the Sorcerer)
Klaus Kerner (I think... from Fate of Atlantis)
Purple Tentacle (Maniac Mansion: DOTT)

Oh, and I can see both green and purple tentacles have various poses. Neat. Too bad there are no close ups of them.

I think the guy with the green hat is from the emerald palace type place in Loom.  I don't know what he's called.  I don't know about the undead Elaine either.  Maybe it's a representation of what Lechuck dreams about.

Good catch ;) It is indeed Loom's Bishop Mandible from Crystalgard. I knew he looked familiar, I haven't played Loom in ages.

I have fond memories of Loom from when I was a kid. I still have it on my computer, but it refuses to run because the monitor can't do 16 colors. XD

Use ScummVM to run this (and the other scumm games + many others :P) on modern comps, and even various handheld platforms.

There is also a really good tutorial available to explain how to use ScummVM to run these games

Hope this helps you play loom again :D

As great as that is, the science fair diorama on the linked page is truly fantastic. "Little Billy and his unhappy marriage of gas and fire"

Heh Ron where'd you get this from?

Must.. have... it...

Cute little Sordid...
glad  the blog is back

Would love to have one too, even though I hate chess :P

To simply call it "Über-Awesome" is truly an understatement.
Although it looks like Bobbin is trying to hit someone with one of these French breads, "Baguettes" they call them ;).

Hey all, thanks a ton for all the nice comments! :)
And Ron, I'll keep that offer of yours in mind ;)
For more pics of the chess check out this thread

While great, I still don't get where evil Elaine came from.

Oh wow! those are insanely cool! I'm in love with the Tentacle pawns :D

says nothing

This ist [insert the ultimative word to describe great things]!!

Would you mind if i steal the idea and try to build my own version?

What material did you use for it? Fimo? (i don't know if it's the right word in english)

Ron, the artist who made these drawing is Jonathan Ben-David from Israel.
And he made a lot more fan art than just this (both clay and drawings), you can view his other artworks in this thread: http://hebrewquest.com/phpbbheb/viewtopic.php?t=79 (Hebrew, sorry, so just browse through the pages - his nickname on that forum is Mutajon.)

This is my favorite drawing of his.

Thanks, Ido! Only now I remember his earlier work was featured on mixnmojo.

Here are pictures of the complete set:

wow, I want a chess like that...  why LucasArts never made action figures from it's Adventure games?

Who's the good rook? (second from the right in the top picture). Is it meant to be Indiana jones?

It looks like a farmer from trumpton...

I'd just like to let you know that some friends of mine just had a baby boy... who they named Guybrush Wednesday.

Look what you've done, Ron... LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!!

She named her BABY Guybrush?

She says it's because it's dumb and helpless and keeps getting in the way.

Seriously?

That's absolutely awesome. But that is not Green Tentacle! He has arms! Must be one of the tentacles from the future that has undermined Guybrush's forces! :O

That is soooo cool. The dude who makes them should mass produce them!

Loom is there!!! (well the main character xD)

Ron, You'll also get your car (or a model of the same make) when you will travel to Israel to get those.
I personally love the "hanging Wally and Guybrush" ones

If you'd come to Israel, I promise to name my baby Guybrush!

(only as a nickname, of course...)

Cool set of pieces!

I've always wondered why it is so difficult to find some good merchandise inspired by the great adventure game classics... I mean you can find some Mario Bros. shirts, bags, toys, or cuddly toys...

OK that's mario. The most popular character in video game world ever? Arguably, yes.

But c'mon! We love Guybrush, LeChuck, Dave, Bernard, the tentacles, Dr. Fred, Manuel Calavera....

There are so many good characters to make funny merchandise: costumes, posters, cuddle toys, t-shirts.........

Aaaaargh.

I will ask my sister to make me some cuddle toys of Guybrush, LeChuck and Elaine. She makes them cool!

I know this may sound somewhat blasphemous but: isn't it kinda wrong calling this thing Chess Quest and not putting any * Quest Characters
in it? I'd just love to see a Lucasfilm/Lucasarts vs. (dare I say it aloud) Sierra set.
Anyway, this is just amazing.

Nah, the Sierra pieces would just keep dropping dead for no real obvious reason...

)) Nice looking. But i would buy such chess with different figures.

This is great. It would have been even better if they'd pitted all Sierra characters against LucasArts ones!
