All the recent talk about scalpers got me thinking.....If you were to make a scalper custom action figure...what would he look like???
I would like to make one and custom card it and thought it would be cool to brainstorm for ideas. |

It's all in the accessories. You have to make large quantities of figures straight from the case, with the case for that matter and a shopping cart.

From what I've heard you should be able to get some good reference ideas by going to WM, or Target when they first open in the morning. I have never met one myself.

Well I don't know about his looks, but I bet his filecard reads a lot like a Crismon Guards.

The After-market Retailer is the elite of the eBay seller. All "Scalpers" must be able to stalk a local brick and mortar at all times of day despite a probable lack in physical conditioning.

They are hated and feared by true collectors worldwide and assumed to have lifestyles that are slightly less than human.

It should come with a small carded version of itself to hold. And another bent version for it to leave on the ground.

So then he would probably come with a computer too then, as well as armloads of GIJOEs and a shopping card. This is awesome guys, keep givin me ideas. I can see the card art in my mind already! |
