    Has anyone ever taken a fine black Sharpie...

    and colored in the heads & hands of Spiderman and Thing? I remember doing a bad job of it with Spidey as a kid, but I'd like to see how a nice job looks on the bodies.
    (If this has been discussed before, please toss me a link. Thanks. )

        It will bleed as well. Had a figure I bought off ebay years back that someone had redone the eyebrows. within a year it had unibrow blur.
        It's not a doll it's an action figure.

          Now wait a minute Gents; I haven't desecrated a Mego since I was a 3rd grader. I was just asking if anyone has colored in the lines and captured it in a photo.

            Someone here did that to Thing...Wrathdemon, I think. Check the customs threads for his posts.

            It was interesting looking, because the dark lines on Thing made it look more like a 3D version of Toth's Thing design from the Hanna-Barbera FF cartoon and less Kirby. I think it's the mouth design. Toth's is much more pronounced.

              Toth made the thing simple to animate by making his plates larger instead of the Things smaller Rocky look. i really like that version and always wanted a figure that looked more like that......
