OMG!
I do need to make this!!! WOW! How Mike should have been made. A nice little button easy access hidden in the shorts- perfect.
This is the creative stuff I love to see!
Very well done!
Why Hasbro wouldn't make a batch of those for collectors is beyond me.

Raybones,

Dude, This was one of the customs I told you about awhile ago!
It's really something!
Good to see like minds think alike and everyone into flocking is coming around.

Very cool! I thought about doing that too. I have an Atomic Man from the UK that is missing the plastic eye and the pace maker button on the chest. I could put a button where the missing pace maker is located. I think you can get even smaller light bulbs for HO trains. It could fit right in the eye socket. My question is where do you put the batteries? Is it inside the chest cavity? Let me know.

Thanks, Robert

I'm glad yo guys like this little project.

I had a little LED that fit perfectly into the eye hole. The whole eye LED was hooked up from going through his neck hole.
I opted to use a pressure switch instead of a toggle switch on this fella, and the battery holder is from a dollar store clip on book light, with all the excess plastic cut off. Once all the soldering was done and I was sure that it worked it was all put up into the torso and then restrung. I also have another version that has a switch which is located on his side. That way you can leave the eye on for pictures.

Excellent work. I would love to have a go, just got to wait till the children are all at school full time.

Thanks, I really love it. I've done a few of them now.

Here is another pic of two of them the one has a switch the other is the button that has to be held.
