              I pretty much made everything (other than the figures themselves... Though, Brick's robe and speedo were put together and sewn by me.)

              The backdrops are either hand drawn or modified photographs or images. I put them together in Photoshop and printed everything out on card stock paper. Lots of details didn't come across in the photos. (Like Brick's gold record for his "Heavy on my mind" album-taken from the Plaidstallions site. Or Johnny Carson interviewing Stallone from the 70's on the TV screen)

              The mini megos (Spock, Farrah and the display box) is the same deal. Spock and Farrah have proper artwork on the back.

              In the Super Collector's base/toy room, you can't see it but on the bulletin board are Polaroids of old toy stores (from plaid stallions), some mego magazine adds, and a poster explaining time travel. On the control panel is a flux capacitor being run by a Tandy computer. The disco ball time tunnel shows the destination as Alexander's via a vintage photo of Alexander's from 70's nyc. Cause Brick wasn't planning on paying full retail on those toys.

              Yes, I'm a dork.

              And in case anyone is wondering, I do have the files for everything, at 300 dpi. In case anyone would like to recreate this or other adventures.

                  Very well done. Should go on the front page of the MM. Made my day and thank you.
                  Always a pleasure to enjoy such talent.

                              Brick's sporting an old fashioned, non swivel arm Doc Mego bod.
                              The Super Collector is sporting an old fashioned Castaway bod.

                              Steve & Sheldon are stock bods.
