    Here's a custom I have'nt seen before.



    The recipe: I took a knock off GI Joe head and neck plug bought at a dollar store and painted it to suit. The toga is a Ken T-shirt I bought years ago. I added a elastic strap for a waistband. The cape and shoes are from CTVT.

      I have that head but my skin is darker. I think it bears an uncanny likeness to Vin Diesel. I think I used it on the 12 inch Dr. Freeze figure I donated to the raffle a few years ago. I have another that looks a lot like the Gilbert James Bond figure. I think that one came from Walmart. Hard to find the quality KO figures nowadays. Dollar Tree used to have them all the time.
      It's not a doll it's an action figure.

        Dollar tree made it too easy to do 1/6 customs for a while. Now they went 3" ninja. I'll see if I have any of the 12" knock off Joe's left. More than likely I do and I'll post it to this thread.

              Not really sure if this is the original body. Found at Dollar tree. A buck a piece. It was worth it for the heads and outfits.

                Cool. Watcher Rules! It always frustrated me he could always stand there and watch bad things happen to heroes but never lend a helping hand. Lazy bum.

                  Ha, that turned out pretty good.

                    Thanks for posting the pic. Cool figure for a buck. Up here, in this scale, we just get the blow molded crappo figures at the dollar stores.
