Oh Tin Tin, my favourite blonde hair blue eyed colonialist adventurer.

He helped build my boyhood views of White people- globe trotting do gooders that kick villanous ass in different exotic landscapes.

Of course today I know better to hold such sentiments. I, however, still have a soft spot for he and his white wire fox terrier.

I haven’t seen much of Tin Tin since I moved to the states, so there was no hesitation on my part to snatch these Baule colonial figures found in the Upper East Side.

And when I thought this experience was enought to tickle my nostalgic senses till the end of time, Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson decided to drop this

Spielberg, you better not f*** this up.
