Toycember bonus It Came from the Toy Chest: Placeholder Irma

 Finally got an Alice without broken legs that I could disassemble and tear the bow on her back to make an Irma.

Disclaimer: the custom and rant were written in Late May during the purge for 2026 to attempt at least a 12 days of Christmas Advent Calendar and have some toys for Toycember.

Irma: April you're taller.
April: Irma, you were hit by a de-aging ray! Now you look like if you were 19.
Irma: Sweet! Gotta go! Need some Mistletoe and lonely college students!
April: Oh Irma!
Irma: If I were a man, this behavior would be considered creepy!

Yes, that's an Eleven head with some glasses from eBay. The only thing I did was sculpt some bangs and glue on the glasses. There were no further mechanical modifications to the head. It pops in perfectly into the Alice Body. The skirt is from an Arcueid figure. I bought just the skirt in 2023 or 2024. The sweater as from eBay well. I will need to ask for tips on sewing to make her sweater slightly more snug. 

Of course, I'd prefer to get an Official Irma figure, but Playmates killed the lien. Now I can have an Irma placeholder for my in progress TMNT display. 

Dec.18 Update:
I'm going to use the FTC Announcer instead.
I had to fill up eleven's head hole to fit the FTC Peg. Will get a new skirt...

Guess I'll make a Kala with the Alice body.

Toycember bonus it came from the toy chest: Base for a Biblically accurate Nefty

 

Figures Toy Conpany made the Wrestling Fan sub line. I already reviewed Karen. I got some other figures for reviewing at a later date. This time it's Shawn's turn.

I got this first Shawn in order to make a Biblically Accurate Nefty-kun since the previous Nefty-kun evolved into Nick R. Cade. It's possible that I'll get a second Shawn to keep as is. Neftyverse Canon Shawn will be a guy who looks like Nefty but isn't Nefty. Kinda like how people confuse Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana.

So, the one time you'll see Shawn Jaeger... yes it's a reference. Is here:

German dude doing an Irish jig awfully...
For that Shawn Jaeger will dye!

I tried to remove his facepaint with acetone. I sneezed and spilled some on his shirt. You have been warned.

Nefty: Uh, h-hey Amber! I was uh, wondering if, uh, you'd like to g-go out with, uh, me?
Amber: I have a boyfriend!
Nefty: Congrats! I-I hope he's, uh, a great guy that treats you,uh, w-well! I-I got to uh, go! Uh, I'm not c-crying, it's,  uh, allergies.
Kaylee: Sissy, doesn't he look like a fat Mr. Nick?

Articulation

The figure has OK articulation.  His fat body has some Articulation restrictions that slimmer figures lack. The arms require double jointed elbows to reach the 90° angle that a single joint elbow does on a slim figure. Legs fare a bit better though, but it can be a bitch to get the lower half of the knee going. There are no ankle rockers.

3.5

Nefty: Hey! It's K-Karen! Have you, uh, see-ugh!!
Karen: Sommersault! That's what you get for messing with Jade!

Paint and sculpt 

I'm going on the original Shawn, not my butchered up Nefty repaint.

The sculpt is essentially a fatter and bigger version of the Children but with Sandals instead of the Chuck Taylors. It's scary how much this figure is to what I wear on my leisure time.

Most of the paint job is in the face. Pretty much everything else is molded in the appropriate color.

4.5

*ringtone*
Jade: Did you just jizzed our pants?
Nefty: D-dude, you're rubbing your, uh, c-cake all over, uh, my chorizo. OF COURSE! I'll c-cum when uh, a smexy girl, uh, rubs her booty, uh, on GAAHH!
Jade: Again!? I don't know if I should feel insulted or complimented... Can you go for three? 

Accessories

Like the other figures, he has

Dramatic hands 

Judo chop hands

Fists

C-grips (these are a bit wider than MOTUC weaponry.)

Pointing finger

Cellphone hand

Accessory hand

5.0

Myahh! Castle Grayskull will be mine!

Overall

Shawn gets a 4.33 as his final score. Personally I hope the "next gen" comes with a long pants and shoes fat body. Short and full sleeves business shirts with ties. And a head that resembles Jeffrey Jones in the late 1990s. With Black hair... just so I can have the pieces to make a custom Burne Thompson since Super7 is highly unlikely to do one now. Heck! I'd also would enjoy Sleeveless t-shirts. Preferably red shirt, blue pants with a fully bald head... for no reason at all... except Pizzaface.

If Super7 can't, there might be hope for Groundchuck:

 This isn't a sure thing, but, a Placeholder Groundchuck COULD be theoretically made out of this dude:

He's in scale with TMNT Ultimates. He's from The Nacelle Company. The same people from the toys that made us documentary. They have been acquiring some media rights to old properties and making toys out of them. There are some Biker Mice from Mars Figures with Bikes sold separately, that are 1:10 scale. The Moo Mesa toys are supposed to be in the same scale. That dud is supposed to be close to 8 inches.

In order to turn Terribull into this:

I see lots of sculpting Materials needed. After some dremmeling and sanding. I pray to the toygods that the Terribull top is an overlay and not sculpt. That way, the job is easier.

What's the reason I'm even looking at Nacelle Toys? I pre-ordered a Biker Mice from Mars figure:

I see a 1:10 Redhead, I'm  likely to buy. Especially if it serves my purposes. Not mentioning it out loud otherwise the voices in my head will counsel me, understand, and worse: Talk to me! 

But if Nacelle does a repaint of this figure... or even better adds new heads based on This:

My wallet will weep, because I'd totally buy a Galoob styled Charley, because of the whole Civilian boner I ha è with toy displays. It wouldn't weep as much as a Super7 purchase, but Unfortunately, Nacelle doesn't have much that tickles my fancy.
