2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

This is what happens when extreme boredom really starts to settle in.You start painting uneven mustaches on your action figures.This is the Retaliation  Flint head sculpt on Chameleons body.The skin tones aren't exactly the same and the stache is a bit off but I think it's a passable 80's style  Tony Stark figure. Or a young Ron Burgundy.   "Stay classy,San Diego!"

Mole Man is another one of those classic Marvel villains that desperately needs a Marvel Universe figure.Right now,the only 3 3/4 scale Mole Man figs are from the 90's Iron Man Toybiz line and the one you see here from the Marvel Showdown collection.The 90's Toybiz fig is affordable and comes with a cool subterranean minion , but doesn't fit In well with Marvel Universe figures. The Marvel Showdown Mole Man has been totally out of the question for me as he can be pretty pricey on ebay,loose or in the two pack he originally came in.I was lucky enough to find one loose sans cape and accessories for $4 bucks.A far cry from the 20 plus dollars you'll be shelling out for a complete one.  I was a little let down by the fact that  his hands don't open.I thought they did :( Mole Man needs his trademark staff/club so I decided to try a Mega Bloks Foot Soldier's staff.It was too wide to fit in the tiny hole in Mole Mans hand ,so I took a stab at trying to customize...

I've passed by Playmation figures dozens of times, admiring the sculpts but that's about it.They are more like statues and couldn't possibly blend in with my Marvel universe figures.Until i came across MODOK at an out of the way Wal Mart one day.Now this might work because MODOK  doesn't really need any articulation.He's pretty much just a talking torso that would be  displayed in the background with the rest of my Marvel Universe villains.I passed him up but recently stumbled across one on ebay selling for $ 5.00 ,free shipping.I pulled the trigger and I'm glad I did.
