    The Amazing Screw-On Head!!


    I've been putzing along on this one for years, did the head first, then had to find the perfect body for him. Finally found an artist's doll that was in scale, added lots of sculpey and paints. Hands are from a Gundam model. Screw is a anchor I found at Home Depot. The head has a magnet to allow interchangeable bodies, but for now he just has Lucky 13

    Quite possibly the most unique custom I've seen on these boards. I know the character only from cover artwork. Good use of a drywall anchor. Finally we have an Abe Vigoda figure!
    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

    If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

        Abe Vigoda! Totally right on that one. I love the originality of it.

                              That is really weird looking- but cool! Reminds me a little of Killroy- as in "Killroy was here" image.
