"All we got is the blue guy" he said. I peered beyond the counter and saw a whole box of Bloos. That was amusing, I tells ya. 8D
I'm dissapointed in how freaky the wilt toy looks though. What's that green thing between the stalks of his eyes anyway?

That green thing is a plastic strip that has different wavy edges to let you trace different scalloped borders or lines on something. It fits in a slot between his eyestalks and can be removed for use. What bugs me isn't so much that the Wilt figurine is short and fat(love handles, lol), but that the shoes and socks are just all as one, with no color other than white, making it look like he's wearing white boots, and the wrist band has no color other than red, so it blends in with his arm, and there's no white border around the number 1 on his chest. His scars are not black, and barely visable. I used enamel paint to add the needed colors, enlarge the pupil in his good eye, paint in the lines between his teeth, and I removed that green thing. I super-glued an elastic band inside the slot where the green thing used to be and now he adorns the inside rear-view mirror of my new bright red Chevy Aveo that I just purchased after having to put the RAV-4 into semi-retirement(it has over 300,000 miles on it and was getting to the point where I didn't feel I could trust it on long trips, and the Aveo gets 37-38 miles per gallon). Wilt looks pretty darn good now, fat or not!
