This reminds me: A few years ago when Disney put out "A Bug's
Life",
McDonalds came out with some promotional toys of some of the characters
including a motorized Hemmlich the Caterpillar. One of my gaming
buddies, who is a whiz at kit bashing, put one of the Hemmlich toys
through some plastic surgery (no pun intended). With miliput, some
wire, and a fresh paint job he was able to create an startling Chtorr
worm based on the illustrations from Steve Jackson's GURPS WAtC
sourcebook!
Just recently, he took a toy turtle from a museum souvenir stand
and
transformed it into "Blip" from the old Gammaruaders game. (Complete
with weapons, tracks, armor, and technicolor shell.)
I'll ask him if he has any pictures that I can post somewhere.
