    Come and knock on our door... Jack Tripper

    Hello all,
    I have just finished my first in a new series of customs: Jack Tripper from Three's Company. I have decided to do this series in the WWMD style, so I have struck to a simple 4 color paint job...



    The head is an altered Tom Paris I made a face mold of.
    Body is CTVT Fonzie. (complete with "Aaaaay!" Thumb Action)
    Shirt is altered from an 11.5" Ken doll.
    Slacks and repainted dress shoes by CTVT.



    Here is Jack on my custom card design, featuring my new logo.

    I would also like to take this time to pay tribute to John Ritter. Three's Company was the first sit-com I fell in love with as a child, and John Ritter quickly became my hero. I learned how to cook at a young age simply because Jack Tripper was a chef.
    The day he passed, the world lost a wonderful comedian, a physical comedian which is rare these days. So, this figure is a tribute to him and my first television obsession. [pours a 40oz on the ground]

    P.S. Yes, I even painted in John Ritter's chest hair.

              Nice one! Let me know when you get to Mr. Furley - Don Knotts RULES!
              "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                I'm a huge John Ritter fan....I was sad to see him die and like the act that my kids are big fans of Clifford.

                Cool custom package.

                  RIP John Ritter. Three's Company was one of my faves growing up too. Nice tribute!

                            I give you props right off the bat because I was planning on eventually doing a Three's Company series of Megos as well The outfit is 70'sperfect, and you did a good job on the sculpt, it's hard when you are trying to get the likeness of an actual person. The card is awesome on top of all that Great job, and best of luck with the rest of The Regal Beagle's favorite customers -Will
                            NO SIR, I DIDN'T SEE YOU PLAYING WITH YOUR DOLLS AGAIN.
