    Barney Hiller... we can rebuild him. We have the technology.

    Barney Hiller... we can rebuild him. We have the technology, or maybe just some Phantom Limb parts!

    Here is Barney before the accident...
    (he has that weird Dr. Who body)




    And here is Barney, Seven Million Dollars, and one Phantom Limb later:

    Better than he was. Stronger, faster, better looking!

    Now I just need some cool Bionic stickers from Laser Mego!
    I'm sure Paul can whip up something, if he hasn't already!

    I will update this soon!

      Looks much better. I might do the same. Now to get rid of the Spock eyebrows and beady little pupils.

          Nice work, sir!

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."

                  Ya, they must have just wanted to get the figures out. Barney didn't get the swivel bicep body, nor the clear limbs, and he got the goofy knee joints. Supposedly the Astronaut Steve got two clear arms and they painted over the left one.
                  The clear forearms can be used on the left or right arm, but I think the circuitry is not in the center.
                  I emailed pmwasson about making bionic stickers.

                      I am also giving Barney a makeover as well. I decided his milky white skin, Spock eyebrows, tiny pupils and clam-digger pants bothered me too much for a toy I've wanted for decades.

                      I've switched him to an original Type 2 body and am in the process of painting his face with a tan. I am also putting him in the outfit I always think of Barney Hiller in (more so than the jogging suit)

                      I also stole an idea from Scott on Facebook to put the Cowardly Lion shoes on Bigfoot so that he has....umm....big feet.
