The Yellow Thing is a showcase for "customized" action figures. 

These are toys that have been taken from their protective packaging, and then mercilessly
cut up and painted into something different.  All figures appearing on this site have
indeed  been harmed.  Legs were l e n g t h e n e d or shortened. . .  hands, cut off and
reattached . . . moustaches, added and shaved off . . . and, yes, beer guts enlarged.

The main tools in this practice are:

Epoxy
Acrylic Paints
Krazy Glue
a Dremel Rotary Tool
and
Whatever's lying around the house 

As long as you're here, hey, take a look around and try not to krazy glue your fingers together.

Enjoy!
