Pump Up Your Ken Tutorial

To make yourself a Ken like in my "We Can Rebuild Him" post below, follow these steps:

You'll need a Power Team Elite body, Ken body with a pivotal neck and something to cut plastic with (dremel, hacksaw, etc.)  Let's get started!

First, cut out Ken's neck and a portion of his shoulders and back.

Next, use a dremel or exacto knife to shape the neck and make the cut shown.

You now have a super articulated body for any pivotal neck Ken.  Huzzah!

"We Can Rebuild Him."

"We have the technology."

"We can make him better than he was."

"Better..."

"Stronger..."

"Faster."

Hello, 2012. How Are You?

Oh, me?  I'm fine!  I've been very good.  I completed my required 3 little projects, which I'll post later, so now I can buy something if I want.  However, I haven't purchased a single thing.  I haven't even been to Target or Toys R Us in weeks to see what's on clearance.  Now, I have been to Walmart, but that's because I do my weekly grocery shopping there.  I cant help it if my feet just naturally draw me to the toy section.  I think it's in my blood now.  Even if I don't buy anything, I still like to look.  Which is when I saw this thing.

This is the most garish play set I have ever seen... and yet, it fascinates me.  Oh, not enough to pay for it, but if I ever catch it at $5.00 (not the $19.85 it's listed for) I would totally get it.  I don't know why, but I like to take things apart, I always have.  I really want to take this apart, study it, photograph it maybe.  It's so detailed and yet so hideous.

How interesting it is.
