That was dumb, but I got a lot of amusement out of it. LOL. Other stupid things I used to do was I would paint my vintage He-man figures with my sister's pink nail polish. I'd cover the bottoms of their feet with it and I remember Tung Lashor's chest was completely covered with the stuff.

I also used nail clippers and would clip off the fingers of my He-man figures as well as swap their arms around. I put Hordak's head on Rattlor's body. I also filled Spout Snout's water hole with sand and I filled Leech with water because I thought he sprayed water.

And I thought I was bad lol. As a kid I used to line up my matchbox cars under the leg of a chair and smash the roof's in. I did play pay too hard with my 83 SW land speeder and Joe Ferret smashing them into pieces against the wall. In my early teens I dabled with customizing. Used a vintageCrimson Gaurd to make SW Grand Moff Tarkin. Years later they would make the fig. I also attempted to make a Bane fig out of a MOTU clawfull and painted flesh tone over a Panthro. I salvaged the panthro and he is still in my collection.

My friend, who I later found out was steeling joes from a near by Sears/K-Mart used black cats to blow appart many a 80's Joe. I would pick up the pieces and make Fraken Joes out of them. later on with another friend we make a big battle sceen and set up fire crackers in the sand next to guys and lit them to simulate battle. beach head lost a leg that fateful day. We also lined a bunch of guys up and shot roman candles at then. none of those figs were mine at least. lastly I burried my original Stormshadow, lost him, found him several years later faking the yard.
