Pilot Figures
 

I am not very thrilled with the figures that I have found on the net. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a crazy dog pilot figure.

Check out some pet stores. I've found a few god dog toys that have turned into pilots. I have one that is made out of a "Loofa dog" that sounds like something you might be interested in. It's a dog with a big toothy mouth wearing something that looks like an old leather flying helmet.

I've found a MUTTLEY figure in a toy store inHeathrow a while ago.

Go to Target, WalMart or Toy-R-Us and find what you need. More than once I have been eyed suspiciously as I shopped the doll department at Walmart for my pilot figure. I guess they suppose a 63 year old in the doll section must be up to no good.:D

Take a grandchild with you. That way no one thinks that you are a wierdo. I have a full face beard that makes me look like Sanity Clause. I just tell them I am on a secret mission to check out the toys. I convinced one kid that Ijust bought a train load of coal from West Viginia for delivery to all the bad little boys. I am sure he will grow up to be a serial killer.

I guess i will just have to keep my eyes open for the right pilot. I cant believe that no one makes animal pilot figurines.

There are still shops that sells toys based on Disneyland characters, other cartoon characters etc, incl. "hard toys" such as the Muttley I picked up. But I guess these days these toys are a "NO_NO" because they are painted and can be chewed by little kids - plenty of soft toys in the shops but they are no good for us older boys.

Then also, kids don't play with such toys anymore - it needs to have batteries and a LCD screen..... times have changed fellas.......

I have had luck on e-bay, if you are patient they have most everything. I was able to find a "Bender" from Futurama and made a pilot from him for my Astro Hog.

I also had some luck on eBay. Marvin the Martian pilots my Pulse XT.

just paruesing through the thread and saw this... that's awesome!!! i wanna be like you someday. kids need that kind of mentoring now and then to shape up attitudes.

on a second note, i'm building an SMP from Sig, and went to Michaels during halloween and picked up about a 4" skull made of styrofoam for my pilot. looks pretty sweet in the cockpit. can't find the cord to my camera right now. </span>
