    Igor---the Ghoulish Graverobber!

    In the spirit of my 9" MAD MONSTERS next wave, I present IGOR---THE GHOULISH GRAVEROBBER!



    This is the butt-ugly Toad head on a Mezco Silent Screamer's Body (Edison's Frankenstein). I'd already used the cool claw hands from this figure on my Mummy figure.



    I cut up my favorite old t-shirt to make Igor's tunic and then when I was done sewing, I was sitting there with a tiny version of my favorite shirt. Odd.



    Hardest custom ever? Nope. Simple and satisfying. I think the body makes it. I intended to do this Mego scale, even shrunk the head down, but I wound up just sticking to what I know.



    It's hard to take a decent dark and creepy pick on a sunny day. Ah, well, back to the laboratory.

    Mina is the world's first Paranormal Petsitter in the new middle-grade book series by Gary Buettner, MONSTER PETS, coming in FALL 2014 from EMBY KIDS. Spooky adventure that's perfect reading for kids 8-12
