    Here's the Green Goblin I bought off ebay, with repro boots and satchel. He has a small paint rub on his hat and a broken foot, but the boots hold him together just fine.



    The boots are slightly rounded on the bottom, making it really hard for my Goblin to stand up. Is that a repro thing or are the vintage boots like this as well?

      The originals are pretty flat.

          That was a steal for what you paid.

            Thanks for the help! Maybe I can heat the boots and try to flatten them.

              Depending on how thick they are and the kind of material they used maybe you could sand them. You might not need the whole foot completely flat to make enough of a difference.

                Thanks for the pics! They are a very thin but hard plastic, so we'll see how this goes!

                    Glad you got this. Love to see stuff like this go a great home.

                      I didn't finish some of the cooler heads I was working on in time for the show.
                      Cuz I didn't want to just show up with a couple heads since I know they are going to take me a bit.
                      I like to try and create a resemblance when I am doing a custom of an actress.

                      Soon I will start showing WIP pics of Lynda Carter WW, Gal Gadot WW & Yeoman Rand.

                          Got one of my grails at the Meet. Wasn't cheap, but between it being a grail piece and being in such great condition, I couldn't pass it up. Leaving the Chicago era with a bang!

                            This is my second Romulan found in the "Wild".. First was a complete one from Brimfield in '97 and this one incomplete today from a Flea in New York.

                            Forgot to add it was $3.00.. Vendor had no idea what it was..

                              To bad he didn't have the original boots, but how does the helmet look? I'm assuming it's the original.
                              When the vendor told you $3.00, did you bounce off the wall and have one of those Fred Sanford heart attacks?

                                Amazingly that same vendor had a mint in bubble Steeler from GI Joe? Hope you bought that too!
