    You know you're a customizer when...

    ...When you think the doll accessories in the latest Happy Meal look Mego-sized, and you can't resist going to McDonald's, just to find out. I was really hoping the Liv dolls being offered right now would provide some custom fodder - on the ad they seem to have in-scale hats and heads with rooted hair. I just came home with one and am in the process of taking it apart to try it on. The head might be close, but I was very disappointed, because I thought it was fully rooted with a removeable hat. The hat is connected somehow, and I'm digging in with pliers to try and figure out how. I can already see that the hair is a separate piece, but I'm not sure what else is going on there. Maybe it will useful, maybe not. I'll post pics once I finish disassembling.

            Same here! Came in handy a couple of times, too!
            "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."
