    Super Hippy from Hilarious House of Frightenstein

    So a couple of weeks ago I gave a set of "Hilarious House of Frightenstein" customs to Mitch Markowitz, one of the show's creators and the only living star. Mitch played "Super Hippy" on the show and I noticed that he had a lot of Superman toys in his house and I said "I'm gonna make you a Super Hippy custom".



    I made it out of a Mego Greg Brady but when Mitch saw the photo he said "Whose chest is that?" and he jokingly explained that the reason he played Superman on the show was due to him being so thin. So I improvised and gave him an Anchor Man body, which was perfect!







    I gave the figure today to Mitch and he was thrilled, today has been a really fun day.

      That's great! You can tell he's really happy.

      And you totally need a pair of pants like his to go with your shirt and your Horatios.
