Description A re-imagination of one of my favorite toys of the late 1970s.

Trivia: The images on the plates,which were the interchangeable heads,upper torsos and arms and legs of various monsters,aliens,superheroes and other colorful figures were created by none other than the late Dave Stevens,who would later go on to create the Rocketeer!

Yeah, that's some pretty colorful looking monster creation man. Use just gotta like the use of color they painted on those 1960 to 2000 era action figures for visual display.

I don't know if you're familiar with the drawing set that inspired this....those are the colors of the interchangeable bas-relief plates that allow you to "draw" figures; the heads are on yellow plates,torsos and arms orange,the legs red.

Makes sense, that's the function of the toy. Just wanted to complement the color paint schemes of the toys that where fashionable before I was born and how much color fashions change over time.
