Simpsons Super Heroes

Paulie's Simpsons / Super Heroes Collection

My friend Paulie's hobby is to change existing action figures into new ones. He even bought a Dremel! Click on the Title at the top of this post to see my Paulie Tribute Page (which he won from me in a Superbowl bet Jan/2004) for more shots of his handiwork.

A STU howl.
