Umeko is STILL an AWFUL photographer!

I'm sorry! I mentioned Plastic Malik in the previous page and didn't even explain about him!!

In early August, 2004, I was on a shopping trip to K-Mart or someplace like that and I found - LO AND BEHOLD - A MALIK FIGURINE!! Now, it was so awful-looking and crazy, I just HAD to buy it.

That was when I decided that Plastic Malik, as I dubbed him (since he is indeed made of plastic), should come with me everywhere I went, and I would take pictures of all his adventures!!

And that is the story.

Miscellaneous Pictures
NOTE (1/1/09): These images have not yet been recovered. I'll try to find them someday. ;_;

This is Plastic Malik. He wants to be Plastic Pharaoh!

Check out that awesome handiwork on the head and neck!!

This is Plastic Malik with his two best friends, Plusle and Minun! (That's my sketchbook behind them.)

Plastic Malik likes to read Duel Standby! just like anyone else with a sense of humor!

Hersheypark (August 14, 2004)

Hersheypark is crowded on Saturdays! This is Plastic Malik helping us to fight the crowd! Yes, I KNOW he looks superimposed, but he's really NOT.

I needed a picture that showed that Plastic Malik was, indeed, at Hersheypark and not some other random place with a huge crowd. So this is him in front of one of the numerous candy shops! (Sorry the picture is so blurry. I suck at photography, but everyone already knows that.)

NOO!! Plastic Malik is too short to ride the swings!! What foolishness is this?!

Well, my DAD would not stand for Plastic Malik to miss out on the ride just because he's six inches tall! So we cheated.

It was a humid day, so after going on some rides and walking across the park and back, we all needed a drink of water! Plastic Malik had a drink as well. (It's a pity this one is so blurry, because it's my favorite shot. ;_;)

There was this random statue here, and since the crowd had been to big for Plastic Malik to have his picture taken with Mr. Hershey, he had it taken with this cowboy. (Again, I suck at photography.

Little Jimmy insisted that we take another picture of the cowboy! Then he asked that the cowboy's eyes be censored as well. I don't know why.

LOOK!! DUCKS!!! You probably don't know this, but Malik actually IS a duck, so he was very excited to see all these ducks around!

...so he simply had to feed his web-footed friends as well!! Look, he's throwing food out to them!

We had to meet some people at the carrousel, so we decided to RIDE the carrousel while we waited! Unfortunately, Plastic Malik is unable to sit down, so he had to lounge on top of the horse's head.

Right outside the carrousel, the Reese's Cup person was hanging out! We couldn't pass up this opportunity, so I had Chibi Takato hold Plastic Malik while I took the picture, because I didn't feel like asking the Reese's Cup guy to hold him.

Now, we simply needed ANOTHER picture of Plastic Malik and the Reese's Cup guy, so I took another one!

Then we found the Hershey's Kiss! Little Jimmy actually got him to hold Plastic Malik, but Chibi Takato got in the picture also. OH, WELL!!

We went to a dolphin show, even though we were convinced that it wouldn't be able to hold a candle to a dolphin show in, say, Sea World. Plastic Malik was there, too, of course!!

Finally, on our way out, there was this band playing and a bunch of people were dancing! So Plastic Malik decided to join in! He's such a good dancer.

Hersheypark - THE END!!

Coming soon!:

Plastic Malik at Bryn Mawr College!
Plastic Malik at The Yu-Gi-Oh! Movie! (Hopefully!)

And more...!
