My tools: A hobby knife and sandpaper.
The result before I stopped working on it due to (I believe) marital problems:

But you can sorta see where it was going, right? The antennae were my only real chalenge (bent toothpicks?). Anyway, I can't bring myself to throw him away now, just in case I ever decide to finish my Ambush Bug with Super-Powers action! (Squeeze his legs and he writes a riddle! - well, I can't very well change the mechanism can I?)
