She has the short shorts and sneakers for it!  I might have to search for a head with glasses to switch with, though. My Eaglemoss custom is still without specs after all this time. 

These are the only two Pops my sister owns, wonder if she'd miss one...

Just had a D'OH! moment, considering conversions. I was grumbling about a blank male figure costing $30, but I now realize I could by some cheaper figure I don't care about, spray it white, and I'd be halfway to Guardian!

Obvious choice! The cheaper version of the Silver Surfer. Even maintains "tradition", since I used the Eaglemoss Surfer for my Guardian conversion.

Not sure which one is the cheaper one,  but as you may know, there were 2 versions of the Surfer:

With Guardian's "flat" mask, the 2012 version is more fitting (easier to sand down the brow?), though the 2019 version has better hands.

Should Guardian have triangle eyes?

The 2019 is cheaper.

Please don’t start picking it apart before I’ve even begun!

With the regular FRIENDS figures so pricey, I opted instead for funkier versions, like Monica with a turkey on her head, Chandler with his Flock of Seagulls hair, and Joey wearing all of Chandler’s clothes. Not sure why those are so much cheaper.

(For the uninitiated, rest assured all of those make sense in context.)

A few new Pops, Captain Universe Spider-Man, Loki, Wolverine, and the Toad. I just wish that the Toad didn't have the crazy tongue though.

A quick count tells me I’ve topped 50 of these little buggers, which may be time to stop! Practical display is becoming a real problem!

Amazon delivered one three weeks earlier than projected, and I didn't even see a ship notification.
