So I scoured yard sales and pawn shops in search of figures that looked like they could become other figures, and when I did, I attempted the ultimate action figure: Ambush Bug!
My basis: A really discolored Super-Powers Riddler figure.
My tools: A hobby knife and sandpaper.
The result before I stopped working on it due to (I believe) marital problems:
A bald Riddler!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?)
People who do that sort of thing well: Fat Sal! Charlieman! Bill Burns! Ah man, just Google it, there are plenty more to like.
