Fat suits for customs

[Ironman1188]

If you're like me, then you probably have at least one character in your collection who is supposed to be overweight. And finding a decent fat suit can be tough. I picked up a few of the Mattel Ricky Ricardo as Santa figures (for only $5!!) and when taking him apart found that he was wearing a pretty good fat suit. If you can find one you may want to look into picking him up.

It also provides a nice Santa suit for customs. This doll is interesting as Mattel seems to have made a ton of them this time and they are reduced at most Wal-Marts. They've made others in the past in this line that sold out so quickly that they now sell for ridiculous amounts of money - specifically the Ethel Mertz version. This year will see Fred Mertz released.

The ones I've seen on Ebay cost more than I paid for the whole figure.
