    The Fortune Teller Machine

    I'm extremely proud of this even though it isn't actually finished yet. I got so excited to post it, I couldn't wait.



    I saw one in the back of a 4-H barn and I knew I had to try to make one. I like to stretch the idea of what a custom figure can be.



    Laurie was generous enough to give me the head, and I painted it. Probably one of my best paint jobs. He'll eventually have a contrasting colored scarf so his black beard shows up a little better. This head would make a great Rasputin from Hellboy!



    I'd like to try a Mego scale one, but I'm not sure if I should use the same head.

    Thanks for looking!

          It is actually in FC (9") scale, but I would like to do one in regular Mego scale.

                Awesome! Very spooky - I love those things. The one in the movie BIG always seriously creeped me out as a kid.

                        That's awesome.
                        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                          Cool idea for a custom. I like it.

                            Hey nothing wrong with those Famous Covers figures. Good stuff! I really like that! Very original. That's thinking outside the box! Er...well in a matter of speaking.
