    Check this out!!!

    Hello All,
    So for years its been said that Ironman's chest-doohickey was nothing more than a button. For years I searched Joanne Fabrics and other stores that carried buttons hoping to find a button close enough to the classic Mego Ironman's.
    The other day I stopped into my local Dollar Tree and found this.

    Now here's a close up of the raw button.

    Now the rim of the button is not as tall or sharp as the original... But it is DANG close. I painted one of these buttons with some glossy red paint and then added a faux jem (instead of the usual paper yellow sticker... Just to be different)

    My-Ironman.jpg

    So what do you think. I'm sure the paper sticker would look good too! This is the closest I've found to the original in the wild.
