Merry Christmas!

[sholio]

I have the best sister in the whole world!

She got me a Sheppard action figure! Sort of!



Technically, it's a military action figure, sort of GI-Joe-ish. But it's just insanely detailed with about a million little accessories.



Gun AND guitar! My sister said this is what originally screamed "Sheppard!" to her when she saw that.




eeeheeeheeeheee!




Okay, so he's really not all that Sheppard-like in the face. Or the hair. But the rest more than makes up for it.




Check out all his stuff!




Locker! eeee!




FLIP FLOPS!

All his clothes come off. This could be bad...


Okay, so what do I want now? I want THIS!



(picture on back of "Sheppard's" box) Check it out -- it's like Barbie Dream House for G.I. Joes! I love the little gun rack and maps and -- this really got me -- the INFIRMARY! I don't know how well it shows up in the photo, but there's oodles of stuff ... hospital bed and cast and crutches and little monitoring equipment -- EEHEEEE!

I'm sorry, you're probably going to want to smack me when I say this, but looking at the face, I think it looks more like William Shatner than Sheppard. Although, Rodney does like to call him Kirk, so maybe there's some sort of connection there. ROTFLOL!!!!!!!!!

[friendshipper.livejournal.com]

LOL! Shatner! Oh, I know, it bears ZERO resemblance to him in the face. I'm already thinking of things I could do to give him stand-up hair, though...

[les342.livejournal.com]

Okay, do I even want to know what you're going to do about the hair? I just looked at it again and realized that the whole head, including the hair, is made of plastic. Really, I think I'm just scared now. ;-)

And the flip flops, what's up with that? What are they, standard issue millitary flip flops? I don't think that they go with the uniform too well. LOL

You're right. You do have the best sister in the world. All my brother got me was a gift card for the movie theater. It was nice of him and I appricate it, but your pseudo-Sheppard has it beat by a mile. LOL

Well, I was going to give him a wig. We did that to a couple of our dolls when we were kids (usually after one too many "hair salon" incidents), and you can glue untwisted yarn or something similar onto their heads to simulate hair.

However, now I'm starting to think that I might rather look at the male Barbies and try to find one who bears more of a resemblance to Sheppard than this guy. There are some rather slacker-looking surfer Barbie dudes that might work, maybe with a little judicious hair dye (and perhaps some ear-reshaping). I'll have to look ...

This guy is conveniently standard Ken-doll size, so his clothes and accessories should be interchangable with a Ken.

That's uncanny - it does look like Shatner. LOL infirmary. Now you need to get the others... Merry Christmas.

*laughs* I'm actually tempted to cruise through the Barbie aisle the next time I'm in a store and see if any of them bear a vague enough resemblance to any of the characters that they might be converted. Elizabeth might actually be pretty easy to match. The rest of them ... not so much. But I kinda want to try...

Teyla should be okay but the other boys, I'm not too sure. No one resembles 'Ken'- blonde and surfer-like. That is what Ken looks like?

Mind you my nieces did have a male doll a wee while back with a plaited blonde pony-tail. LOL I wonder who that would be.

Ahahaha, that's awesome!

[friendshipper.livejournal.com]

*grin* I thought so!

The flip-flops are seriously disturbing (but flip-flops always are to me), but...
do you think you can file his ears to get them pointier?
& omg yes, he kinda looks like Shatner...
And the infirmary! Imagine all the h/c scenarii you can hav there!

[friendshipper.livejournal.com]

Right now we've got him wearing the flip-flops and strumming the guitar ... he looks like G.I. Joe, the hippie peacenik version.

I've been trying to figure out what to do with his face. Clearly, it needs SOMETHING, but I'm afraid to do too much home plastic surgery on him (literally, plastic surgery, *hee*) for fear that he'll end up looking like his face was mangled in a freak puddlejumper accident.

And I want that mini-infirmary SO BAAAAD!

[titc.livejournal.com]

freak puddlejumper accident & mangled face = infirmary time + the AAAAANGST! the PAIIIIIN! tne hand-holding & manly suffering! or maybe emo, cutting GI John?

Sheppard Action Figure

[nottasha.livejournal.com]

Got to tell you, your GI Joe looks more like Sheppard than the official Sheppard figurine does! Love the photos!

Re: Sheppard Action Figure

[with-apostrophe.livejournal.com]

That is SO true - I was crying with laughter/horror at how bad the Sheppard and McKay figures were. McKay looks like Liev Schrieber crossed with a hamster, and Sheppard looks like Harry Shearer. SCARY!

This, truly, is the sign of a rocking, divine, sister. Brava.

(can I clone her?)
