blasteroids.gif The excellent Red Key Red Door retrogaming blog has relaunched, and it's sporting a link to Monument Miniatures, a tiny UK mail order firm which makes video game-related mini-sculptures. Choices for the miniatures are quirky in the extreme, from Blasteroids end-boss Mukor to the Mutant Telephone from Matthew Smith's Manic Miner. [Also featured - the pink demon from Doom, Dizzy from Fantasy World Dizzy with removable hat, and Horace from ZX Spectrum classic Hungry Horace.] But best of all, the coming soon page lists Dobkeratops from R-Type: 'Guardian of the Bydo dimension gate. The most famous end-of-level baddie of all time!'
