I made this figure about a year ago. It is a superhero I call Olive Man. He has a Pimento of Justice which shines forth to destroy evil-doers. (OK it is really a 3 volt red LED hooked to a battery case and switch I got from a dollar store. The wiring was inspired by several LED flashlights I had seen here on Instructables).
Olive Man's head is a small ball I found in the backyard which I painted olive green. I mounted it on the body of an alien figure. I accomplished this via one of my favorite figure mod techniques. I use an awl to poke holes in the parts I want to join and then use a portion of paper clip as a support. Then add a dab of super glue to hold it together.
Then I used epoxy to secure Olive Man to the battery pack.

I like this, I might make a spin-off of this.

Be sure to post it so we can see how Olive Man develops. Or would it Progeny of Olive Man? I'm envisioning an entire series of B-Movies.

Olive Man lives in his creator's basement and hasn't bired a publicist or you know saved the world so he's not a household name...yet. :)

Yes, but we own three actual greyhounds, as well as numerous greyhound statues. You might say we are big fans of greyhounds.

Actually that is a statue of a dog behind Olive Man, but you are correct it is a greyhound. We have three real hounds bounding about the house. If you check my ible re: Cost Cutting Tips you can see a pic of our youngest grey lounging on the couch.

Nice. Quirky and awesome. Btw, if you figure out the macro mode on your camera, your photos will look a lot better (in focus at short distances.)

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to play around with the camera...or...read the manual!!!! :)
