Goofing around with some parts in the 'lab' this morning and set a pop head on a pez stem while the primer was drying. Was not horrified by the result. It would have looked much better on a mini-pez stem, tho.

Note to self: Find mini-pez stems.

tough one Stephe. The bride / groom set is the only minis cheap enough to use for experiments. I was thinking of taking a Pop Thor and Loki and making Wobbler Pez out of them. post some pics.

Bear is right but I have another thought. The pop heads seem big to me (what do I know!) and the mini heads are a great size but then you are limited to Freddys and Bone Daddy's. What about the tops of the new bookmarks. Could you use them?

I have been messing around with these, these are mini pop heads on standard pez stems, got them to bobble pretty good.

Bookmark pop heads were too small for standard pez stems.

An actual pez is too small to carry the weight. It'll fall over constantly.

Here's Batman's head on a regular pez stem. I think it could work.

By the way. That photo is not something I'm actually working on. Both those parts are committed to other things.

But if Brian wanted to put something together for Fundays next year, I'm more than happy to take credit.

You could still do it with a Jack or a Sally head...they don't stand up anyway. :D

A cheap plastic cutting board from Home Depot and a 2-1/2" holesaw is perfect form making bases.

Once you go that far, you might as well make a mold and start casting you own bases.

Note to self: learn how to cast resin.

Cool experimental pieces. Just keep a watch out in case the villagers decide to storm your castle with their torches, Dr. Frankenpezzer. ;-)

The villagers are already at the gate for my illegal marshmallow roast (burn pile). Makes bringing torches kind of ironic.
