marshac Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Ok moms (or men who still nurture their inner child and are hip to current toy trends)- I need some help finding an action figure. My goal is to make some LDS missionary action figures to give to our two elders.... I got everything I need, but when I went to the store to buy some GI Joes..... horror...... GI Joe has changed a lot since I was a kid. Since our two elders don't have retractable adamantium blades coming out from their hands, the X-Men action figures are out of the picture too.... So what I need to know- Is there an action figure that I could 'undress' and then throw the stereotypical missionary garb (i'll sew this) on, and have it look somewhat decent? Thanks! Quote
lestertheemt Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 what about Ken.............ie Barbie and Ken Quote
marshac Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Posted March 21, 2009 oh man, it's always the obvious thing... I guess being a guy I didn't even consider the "dolls" I'll check them out tomorrow- thanks for the idea Quote
Guest missingsomething Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Man... I wish Marsh lived by me... he's a friggin HOOT! Yes... YOU! Quote
Captain_Curmudgeon Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 oh man, it's always the obvious thing... I guess being a guy I didn't even consider the "dolls"You are the victim of Mattel brainwashing. Action figures are dolls, but if you call them "action figures", guys can play with them without having their fragile sense of self threatened. Quote

marshac Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Posted March 21, 2009 How do you know they don't have adamantium claws? You should ask them This explains why they continue to wear suits in the summer! To hide their powered exoskeleton spiritual battle armor! Seriously though- i'll post some pics when i'm done- it'll be a little while since ye olde baptism is today, church is tomorrow, and then i'm on spring break for a week.... party time.....oh wait, the mormon thing......

Guest queries Posted March 29, 2009 Report Posted March 29, 2009 Hey, you can use an xacto knife and cut the three claws off. Although a scruffy, scowling, wild-haired, muscle man missionary might not be the look you were going for. Prolly wouldn't get many investigators. He'd be cute, though. Quote
siouxz72 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 What about Action Man? He was tall like GI Joe's used to be. My son had tons of them when he was a kid and he's 15...are they already a thing of the past? Quote
Moksha Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 Just make sure that the Kens are wearing their white shirts with black tie and black name tag. A helmet and backpack would be optional. Quote
