    Permanent marker on a vintage Mego torso?

    So, if one draws a design in a vintage Mego torso--for example, a tattoo or chest hair--will it bleed like marker does on the vinyl heads, or not?

    I would think it would bleed after some time. Better to use a fine tip paint pen.

        Yeah agreed. I would say you're probably fine with an industrial grade Sharpie on something more stable, but with vintage I'd stick with acrylic or vinyl markers.

          I'm wondering if the inkjet printed temporary tattoo might not be a better option.

            I have a buddy who makes those clear decals with his inkjet printer that you apply with water.

              ^I wonder how they would stick to that waxy Mego plastic?

              I want to make a King Kull (Capt. Marvel foe) using a Grok head and vintage body. Chest hair would be a nice touch, like the BBP Steve Austin.

              Thank you all for the advice.
