Saving the best for last

As we have traversed a week of robognomes, we have seen gnomepunk in manifestations both earnest and silly, but today's entry borders on the sublime. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you G.N.O.M.E.:
This guy is so awesome that his is the first entry with multiple pictures, to make sure you can see the sheer genius of the design. It takes the standard garden gnome template - proportions, beard, pointy hat, and all - and puts such a steampunk spin on them that the mind reels: this one starts with the goggles, and then goes up from there! Drill-bit noggin, protective helmet with ratcheting lamp, coils on the arms, riveted boots, and the crowning touch, that splendidly detailed backpack/steam vent. We are in gnomepunk heaven, and especially so because this is not a concept drawing, it's a photograph of an artifact!

Although they are hard to get a hold of because of limited distribution, G.N.O.M.E. figures (this one and a few similar) are available if you try. If one actually makes its way into gnomepunk HQ, there will certainly be a bulletin here!

G.N.O.M.E. figures are the creation of of Doktor A and are produced through RAJE Toys in the U.K.
