I would love to get a hold of a Gary Goggles head and his iconic shades. I seem to remember him having his own figure and goggles. What head did they use for that figure?

How did he see through those things, anyway? Or was that not the point?
Does anyone actually know the story behind Gary Goggles' goggles?

I'm pretty sure my buddy made the custom to which you are referring. I'll ask him what he used for the head.

Ah, I stand corrected.. it is a crazy legs head. Lol I have too many heads in a fodder bag and just grabbed one that I thought looked close.. just saw a beanie and though it was Ice Storm. Now I realize that the two look nothing alike. Oh well.

I'm not sure about the story of those exact goggles, I do know that Gary was big into the music scene back in the day and I think was a dj for EDM somewhere. Heing been in tha sene myself know a lot of people who sport goggles of different kinds. That has been my conclusion on his goggles. As for seeing through them, I don't believe that was the point, although with the small slits in them, he would have had a little visability, but not much.

I asked him once a while back... something about his DJ days and being used to break the ice or make him somewhat recognizable to others... something like that... it was a few years back that I asked him and my memory fades...

Interesting...makes sense, the whole DJ thing. Those goggles are a very 'DJ' kinda look.
