Don't bring me down, Bruuuuce

My mermaid finally has a body! I've had her for a while now and she's been kicking around while I was trying to decide what to do with her. I had assumed her mermaid fin slipped off to reveal legs, like mermaid Barbie but that was not the case. So she flapped around not doing anything although I would occasionally pick her up and admire her crazy face.

Then I saw Joey's Lady Willoughby. I noticed the way her hands flared out from her sides like the mermaid's hands, instead of lying flush. He told me it was a Hi:Glamm body so I knew I had to try a transplant. Even though I saw those girls in stores all year, suddenly they were nowhere to be found. Well, Toys 'R' Us still had one or two for $15 which I was loathe to pay for a discontinued doll that was going to be pieced out. Quite frustrating. Fortunately, the very resourceful Chris managed to find me not one, not two, but THREE dolls in one weekend. One was returned so I had two to choose from since they varied a little in skin color.

Lo and behold, the head and body were an almost exact fit, no cutting or epoxy needed. The proportions had maximum comedic value and the skin colors were a near match. I am never that lucky. Year of the Rat, baby!

I realize he's a new-style Punisher but that's temporary until I can color match his chest paint to redo his skull.
