Making a Pizzaface Jr. Custom: The beginning:

 Making an Accurate Ultimates Scale Pizzaface is WAY beyond my skill level.

Remember the FTC fat bodies? Unfortunately there are no red shirts... painting the red shirt is a hassle due to the ab articulation. My Gary has a bootleg TNG shirt. The red paint wont stick fully and I don't want to disassemble the torso to sand prime and paint.

I mentioned here that I got a vintage Pizzaface to butcher and make an Ultimates compatible figure.

I'm not  looking forward to that... it would be very risky as the FTC torsos are hollow and the Pizzaface head is solid... Frankensteining a flat surface to attach the pizzaface head without ruining the body seems impossible.

So until someone makes a 3D printed Pizzaface head I only have 3 options:

1. Use the FTC head and customize it into someone resembling Pizzaface: Gary is the easier body while Shawn is the easier head. I see knife, sanding and using epoxy putty...
2. Get a Kingpin head or the Old FTC bald head and customize them into a Pizzaface-like head. I still see some epoxy putty in the future.
3. Do the risky usage of the vintage figure, negate neck articulation and hope I don't fuck up.

I'm leaning to #2 and getting some of StatWarsGeek's 3D printed heads. Specifically Kingpin and sculpting a mustache, ponytail, and fucked up maw. I saw online a soft goods hat. I MAY make it hard with fabric glue after I fill the insides with foam to let it keep the shape.

The leg is easy: Chop it off using hot glue and somr materials to create a stump to plug his stuff. I will make his red tanktop and apron with soft goods. The tanktop will act as an overshirt. Think basketball jersey over a shirt. It will be glued on at the top and sides. So will the apron.

My fanon justification is the little meatball got separated from the OG body and grew a new one. That way if Mattel makes a new Pizzaface, I can validate my custom.

Even Detective Lubic? Stop it 2026!!

 James Tolkan, who played Principal Strickland in BTTF and Detective Lubic in MOTU has passed away. He was 94. 

There isn't that much info. He was acting until he was in his 80s. 

He was in Top Gun... a few episodes of Remington Steele... Problem Child 2? Huh...

My condolences to friends and family... shame we never got a Lubic figure... More requested than Nepthu...
