Toy "substitutes" thread

[4NDR01D]

What toys did you use to fill in for missing characters? For example I always used the Clash of The Titans Cheron as a Star Wars Emperor because I had it first. I'm positive others must have done this?

The old man from the greatest American hero was uncle Ben to my Spider-Man secret war figure. The police academy station doubled as dick Tracy's headquarters for my brother.

I could never get behind his mixing characters though. Captain Picard and genghis frog as tag team champs? Why????

For a long time as a kid I had a rubber Tyranosaur that was Godzilla till I got the Bendy one. He went on a lot of rampages thru Heritage Blocks buildings.

I put SWAT pants and a Action Jaction safari hat on Captain Marvel to make the Golden Age flash

for GA Green Lantern, I put green AJ pants over a Captain Marvel suit on an Aquaman figure with a Dracula cape.

I used the Mattel Heroes in Action guys for SGT Rock, SGT Fury, Gi Combat stuff, etc.....

also used 16 inch chewbacca to double as bigfoot when going up against the six million dollar man.

[Gorn Captain]

I used everything as substitutes.
Painted Maskatron gold for C-3PO.
An Action Man in cowboy gear for Han Solo.
The Bionic Woman was Luke's girlfriend. He sure liked tall women.
Oscar Goldman had a soft spot for Jawas. Don't ask...
As said in another thread, Mego Cheron wore some cowboy threads from Fighting Furies and became "little Han Solo".

I mixed everything up, and my SW cantina had every action figure I owned at that time in the same room, no matter what scale they were...

[Earth 2 Chris]

Luke Duke was Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker, and Dick Grayson. Greedo was the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Luke Skywalker in Bespin fatiques was Secret Wars Steve Rogers. It goes on, and on...

When the Hasbro WWF line ended I was forced to use older figures as new talent. Brutus Beefcake doubled as Jerry Lawler, Mr. Perfect as Jeff Jarrett, Virgil as Savio Vega.

Curt hennig being turned into Jeff Jarrett has to be one of the seven deadly sins. Unthinkable!!!!

Well, I never owned a Ken doll, so Big Jack and AJ often filled in. When my younger cousin and I played SMDM and BW, GIJoes were the villains. My cousins also had the Lone Ranger figures, LR, Tonto and Butch C.), but if we needed more villains, Marx Johnny West , (who kinda resembled John Wayne) was a good subsitute.
