So today we ventured out to the Toys R Us store where we were surprised to see some amazingly well behaved kids… I guess only good kids get rewarded with trips to the toy store. 
Anyways. We found a World War II action figure that is going to work as a Steve Irwin doll substitute for Fifi’s Steve Irwin tribute costume!
It doesn’t look much like him now, but I’ll be cutting off the arms of the jacket and making the pants into shorts, taking off the ammo belt and painting his brown hair yellow… I just loved the expression on the figure’s face so much, that I knew this one had to be the one!
The weak-ass “Zorro” chihuahua pup is sooo going down this year!
On Saturday, October 28th, at 2pm, it’s SO on.
Can’t wait to see this one, should be one for the family annals……
….don’t throw away the bazooka!!! I’m sure we’ll be able to work that into next year’s “Fifi invades North Korea” costume!
Zorro is absolutely going down. Time to put that fashion design background to work…
*laughs* Definitely take many many pictures.
Oh there will be sooo many pictures! I just finished “Irwin-i-fying” the action figure, and I’m pleased to say that he actually kinda does resemble Steve… Now I just need to figure out how to attach him to Fifi….
And i’ll be sure to save the bazooka… just in case.
When you get some pictures, you need to submit them to cute overload. They’re posting haloween pictures of pets. Your costume totally trumps the silly turtle-as-shark costume!
