Nice Dan - I'd like to see medieval peasant Ewan :)

There won't be much modification needed as he already looks like a medieval peasant. I sliced off the holster and will dig through my 2 gallon bag of pouches to find an appropriately sized one to cover where the holster was. After that, just some accessories (maybe a pitchfork or other farming tool) and some dirt/mud stains.

Nice finds! That robot is a Redakai figure in case you didn't know. I got one of those Toothless figures on clearance...I'm still trying to figure out how to work him in to Star Wars :)

Thanks for the info on the Redakai figure. I knew it was familiar looking, but couldn't remember the name of the line. I grabbed a bunch of the 3.75" figures from that line when they hit clearance- mostly the insectoid ones.

Friday Mail Call and after work thrift store haul!

My Skeletron Gyre Wolf arrived only a few short days after placing my order!

The "Solo: A Star Wars Story" electric gizmo was $.99 at the thrift store and was bought to be broken down for parts for future customs (I bought 5 of them years ago when the line was clearanced).

The Imaginext Bat-mech was $4.99 at the thrift store and will be modified into a giant battledroid.

The Papo Baryonyx was $3.99 at the thrift store (these go for close to $40). Sadly, someone cut off most of the right foot. I am sure I have some appropriately sized donor dino foot in my parts boxes, or, worst case scenario, I will sculpt a new foot before he gets repainted.

Today's Target and Walmart scores!

One of the 2 Suko/Titanus Doug sets was picked up for me by my father from the Walmart he works at, the rest of the figures are from 2 different Targets. I grabbed the second Suko/Doug set in case one of my friends haven't been able to score one locally as they are VERY hard to find.

The King Ghidorah was an insane find as for as far as I know, it never hit brick and mortar stores in the US. It periodically shows up online from overseas sellers for $40+shipping, but I got this one for $10 😁

Today's after work thrift store score!

I have been wanting one of these "Tangled" Rapunzel's tower playsets since 2010, but missed them when they were clearanced after the movie's run. I FINALLY found one today at the thrift store by my job for only $4.99!

I am going to customize it into a wizard's tower for my 3.75"/4" fantasy figures! You can see how big it is (approx. 3.5' tall) by the 4" figure in the pictures.

Got 2/3 Super7 Astro Zombies. The orange one is from Amazon, the black I had to get on ebay, evidently it's an exclusive from somewhere. I'm still missing the blue one, which im sure is another exclusive.  They come with lightsaber like swords, but they don't fit in the hands very well, and I don't like forcing these figures because they don't like to bend.
The will make cool background characters, since background aliens in tvc are very few and very far between. The remind me of Rum Slegg, one of the best Glupp Shitto background characters aside from wilrow hood.

Today's thrift store scores!

The huge brown 70's retro dinosaurs were $4.99-$6.99 each (more popular species like Rex and Trike were $6.99), the Volcano playset was $2.99 and the Chap Mei dinosaur was $.99 at the thrift store.

The huge retro dinos are something I always wanted as a child, but they were too expensive at the time for my parents to get them for me. They were probably about what I paid for them today, but back in the 70's, that was a lot of money. I think I have pretty much a complete set now, but there may have been a stegosaurus that was made as well, I am not sure. If there was, I have a spare Rex that I can trade for it LOL
