Hey all, I know all of you are looking at the upcoming Monkeywrench figure in the Wally 2pack and noticed he is sans sunglasses. I guess Hasbro thought we wouldn't notice.... they need to learn.
Anyway, there have been some talk about a solution here and there but as a collective lets put our heads together on this one and come up with a perfect solution for this horrible oversight so when we do get this figure we already have an answer and MW doesn't get a headache from the sun. and... GO!

Here's what i've done.
-Just take a bit of Cable (it has about half an inch wide), take out the wire and everything inside of it. -Cut some slices, so they look like rings (c'mon it's easy). -Cut each slice in half (it works better by taking 1/3 instead of half). -That's it. You can paint with enamels to make it look shiny, and cut a little triangle-shaped piece to fit the nose. Since the rubber is shaped in circle, it will stay in place always, and is removable. With only 1 inch of cable, you'll be doing glasses for each figure you have. Quick, cheap and easy. (in the pic is a bit loose, but it fits better)

Or we can just make believe that he took off his broken sunglasses after Sgt. Slaughter punched him.

I have the figure in hand, and I cannibalized the baroness' goggles from the DVD pack #1. I cut them down and colored them silver with a sharpie. Looks better, but not great.

Hasbro ruined the figure by re-using outbacks head and not giving him glasses....if the glasses would of been there on the figure,I wouldnt of minded the head re-use...but no! Hasbro is cheap! I dont care if Hasbro labels it monkeywrench...the figure is not monkeywrench!

I'm planning on using CP Fireflys shades. Hopefully they'll fit the head.

I'm going to try my luck molding it with "Green Stuff" epoxy puddy. I feel if I mold it, I can get it as close to the old Monkeywrench as possible. I will also by adding the bandanas around his legs too they left off. I've used the puddy on other stuff before and got awesome results. It feels like the plastic the toys are made of.
