Believe it or not, we have a winner! Someone (identity is private) actually bought the custom-made GAH figure! Price: $199.99 with a possibility of $20 shipping. All right, 'fess up! Which one of you did it?

To Funny. Geez I should start making GAH dolls I'll take a full-featured, life-sized doll of Bill Maxwell, thank you. If you make it say things like Hold it! Freeze your face!, garbanzos and scenario, I'll kick in twenty bucks.

This is where I would mention my RealDoll version of Holly Hathaway hidden in my closet, wearing her original supersuit, and the version of the suit in my avatar that I am having made... ... but that's a secret, so forget I mentioned anything.

Eeek! Ralph does look more like a Hulked-out surfer in that first picture. I know where the other two pics came from, but where on earth did you find this Steroid Ralph version???
Maybe from Masters of the Universe: "Magic Jammies" He-Man!

The top pic looks like one of the Ken dolls that actually had rooted (sewn in) hair instead of the molded hair. The only other Ken I know of that had rooted hair was the Jewel Secrets collection they did with Barbie, Skipper, Whitney and Ken. Now as far as the rest, yes, they added padding making him muscular.
Or, it could be an old G.I.-Joe (yes, they used to have them in 12-inch size), though I don't think anyone would change one into Ralph. The original ones can go in to the thousands (at least) if they're in mint condition.

It's easy to find 12-inch action figures these days; it's pretty much the standard. Plenty of online shops with various heads and body styles to choose from. The problem: the hair! The majority of 12-inch figures are military, meaning military haircuts! Just try to find one with fuzzy blond curls...or even the shorter tight curls Ralph had later on...it just isn't meant to be--unless you're a master sculptor and can make your own William Katt. I consider myself lucky to have found the 8-inch version for my self-made Mego!

Well I am a Toy Geek. AND PROUD OF IT! It looks like a genric GI JOE wanna be. Judging by the closed fist and over exagerated quads.

While were on the topic of toys, I came up with this idea. What do ya think? Maybe we could do a version of Clue too. You Know...Captain Bellybuster instead of Col. Mustard.

Those are funny, MrsMaxwell, and would probably work. What would the Go to Jail be? Ralph crashing into a billboard, then "Go to Hospital?" That'd be cool, the Clue one, but would they all be bad guys? And, dare I say, who'd be Mr. X (the victim)?

I'm thinking along the lines of "F.B.I, you're busted!" instead of "Go to jail, go dirctly to jail". Then, to get out of jail, you get a "Pam gets your charges dropped".
For the game pieces I was thinking: a VW Beetle, an F.B.I badge, a hubcap, a dog biscuit, an earth shoe, a school bus, and a communicator (walkie-talkie).
The only thing that has me stumped right now, is the utlilities and railroads.
The possibilities are endless.

At least one of the railroads has to mention an engine that has a MAJOR dent in the front! ;D

Maybe for utilities the electric one be the hydroelectric plantfrom "The Shock Will Kill You" and the water maybe the Pacific Ocean (sorry, can't think of a literal one for waterworks yet.)
