    Quick Space Ghost Minor Upgrade

    I finally pulled the trigger and picked up a Space Ghost not too long ago, with the idea to do some minor tweaks. I finally found time to do those tweaks today, which was basically to move him to a Type S body and remove the boots. The hard part was trying to figure out how to cover up the gap between the black part of the suit and the head. While out donating clothes and picking up some coffee at Tim Horton's, I looked down in the car and saw my emergency I-forgot-to-bring-my-face mask, which came from some cheap masks I got online when the pandemic first hit. So I cut that up to go around the neck and shoulders, with a bit going into the neck hole to keep it and the head in place.

    The velcro is weak on the back of the suit, so I reinforced it a little with more velcro that... eh, it's holding well enough. I pulled some of the arm through the gauntlets, which helped me get the gauntlets on, while doubling to hold the smaller wrist peg in the larger Type S wrist holes. And now I have a Space Ghost I am mostly satisfied with! One day I would like to change the body suit out completely for one without that crotch seam, but this will do for now.

      nice the original appearance of that figure kept me away. Now I might do it.

            A little bit of black paint does the trick too.

              How would I make a desk for him so he can be a talk show host when he's not superhero-ing?

                I wish FTC would release some type-s hands in different colors. White fists for example.

                Diamond select Spider-man hands. Long shot, I know...but ya never know..

                  agreed, and heads to match the clear and glow bodies

                    While you can't make white, the Flesh Colored Type S Gun hands are dyeable. I've made red, green, blue and Black simply using Ritz's Dyemore,
                    the (handkerchief / pocket square )recipes on their site, and a 70/30 boiling water to acetone mix.

                      Excellent, he looks GREAT! The neck issue is actually the reason I haven't bought one yet.
