A cool little prop

A few weeks back, my wife took our kids to the Magic House in St. Louis and both of my boys picked one of these up...



It's called a good luck mini and it's made by a company called Safari. One inch long, comes in either a blue or pink diaper. I think it costs 25 cents, but if you can't find these at a brick and mortar location, you'll have to buy a tub of them...which ain't cheap.

On my picture it looks like there's a blotch on it's head, arm and leg, that's just from where it was pushed against the glass of my scanner. Also it looks like the diaper is rubbing off, that's because my son has played with it, lost it, found it, played with it some more, lost it again, rinse, repeat. It has painted eyes (just two little dots really) and a light coloring of the hair.

The only drawback is that it's made of rubber, so any modifications are going to be pretty difficult.

I've had several figures posed holding it and it looks to be in perfect scale.

Sweet, now my STs can snatch children from their mothers and proceed to throw them against walls or bash them in the head with their rifle butts.

Good lookin' out, dropship. :D

I had thought about taking a picture of one of my ST's standing outside of a burning building, holding the baby in a blanket. Thought it would make for a nice piece of Cobra propaganda.

BUT...I don't have a house that scale, nor a good camera to take the photo even if I did!

I actually wanted that MU Cable for the baby... The Cable was just an awesome bonus, but I haven't found one yet.

You could do some funny ones too with the female Joes.

Not likely to find a Cable with Hope on the shelves. I think they stopped including Hope after the initial shipment.


You could always trot on down to a craft store and get a lil baby toy, or if you live in Louisiana or an adjacent state where such coonassery seeps in and get one out of a Mardi Gras king cake.

Yeah, that's what I figured. I didn't actively look for him, but I wanted Cable and Apocalypse. I may just stick with my ML figures and quit wasting time with the MU shit.

All I need is the upcoming Jim Lee-styled Jean Grey, the Archangel redo (there's one coming, right?) and the older small Apocalypse to finish up my MLs... Well, I need a Jubilee too, but I can wait on her or be fine without.

I need to sell my Deadpool to fund something more interesting.
