Now when I was really young and played, I pretended a certain action figure was me. Of course I made him totally badass. And that figure was Pidge from Panosh Voltron. How pimp is that? I didn't even wear glasses. Eventually his head was blown off by a firecracker. The firecrackers didn't hurt anybody else. Why Pidge? Do we always hurt the figures we love? Did anybody else do this? I mean pretend a figure was you? ~BP

I did, but I took it a step further...I actually got a bunch of extra G.I.Joes (3 3/4 size) dismantled them and reformed their parts to make my own "customs" and made my own teams (one good guy/rogues and one bad guy) I was of course the leader of the good guys, and I even made myself a file card. My name was hardhat, and for some odd reason i thought it would be cool to have a permanent injury, so I burned his right hand off. that whole overcoming challenges/against all odds thing must have appealed to me. I believe the file card even disclosed how this disfigurement came about. The figure consisted of Flints camo pants, Duke's head, and I'm blanking on the name here...the guy that wore the survival shirt? I think that's what it said anyway. You would think I would keep such a figure in closer regards, but...eh. Wow that was too much info huh? I also used to pretend to be He-Man a lot, but in general I'd just make them fight....for days. weeks even. My storylines were rich and went on forever....much like this post!

Wow you did get pretty elaborate! Yeah Survival..Outback I believe I used him as myself a few times as well and the ROTJ black suit Skywalker was a favorite of me. A lot of times when I was Pidge he was abused, downtrodden and picked on. Then one day he would snap, become a big blue monster, kill and humiliate the Jerkoffs and nail all the hot babes. Must have been some kind of ego defense mechanism. Of course Mumm-Ra was the monster. My brother did the injured thing too, he was deaf, dumb, blind, crippled and burned all over his body. So he had to wear a special suit which made him totally badass. And that suit was V1 Destro..HA! ~BP

I'm either Pidge(I happen to be 5' 3" and wear glasses), Mego Charlie Pizer, Mattel Starbuck, or VOTC Luke Skywalker. When those guys get together, women are in for some fun. This includes VOTC Princess Leia.

When I was younger, I always projected myself onto the Batman Returns Robin figure for some reason. I never outright pretended it was me, but Robin was always the character I identified with. Every battle would somehow involve Batman dying, forcing Robin to go solo despite his own self doubts. Pretty heavy stuff for a 12 year old, but I loved it.

i did the same, me and my best friend/nepehw had taken all of our joes apart and built our own figures. we played some sort of weird punk rock highschool gang kids all the time. we had given them all names and personalities. we had these whole long stories and things worked out, we would have battles to the berry gordys last dragon soundtrack LOL! i had one lone vintage jawa left that we would use as our secret kung fu master trainer to fight the other gangs.
