Lol, that's awesome!

The Skipper should be a little fatter though!

Why did my mind immediately go to scratch-building a Mary Ann figure???

Good to see you creating again, McHale.

Great job Mchale. Agreed about skipper though. You can trade the weight from Gilligan.

As usual, everybody neglects the REAL hero of the show: The Professor.

Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.

Not really, he was always my favorite character. Honest.

Mary Ann!! She was my favourite. Don't forget about Lovey, and Thurston (Howell) - they added to the idiocy of the show too! You need a parrot to finish it off once you get the rest of the characters made. I wish someone would make a 18" inch model of this in polystyrene.
