greetings fools! I, Dr Mindbender, have come to destroy G.I. JOE and your precious barracks! WHAHAHAHAHAHa.... Ok, seriously, my name's Peter... Hi. I'm thinking of doing Dr. Mindbender for Megacon this year, what do you think? I happen to have those braces in my closet so I thought I would show off this prototype. Here's a list of the things I need to do.. and before you ask, I know this is forum is normally for Joe's but I'm friends with Chris and Angie so I thought I would start here... besides what is a good secret government agency without an evil genius to fight? * CAPE! according to yojoe.com Mindbender's cape is black. so I was going to make one with a big cobra logo on it. * The braces I'm wearing should be silver, I was thinking of just taking them apart and spray painting them. *I'll need a pair of purple pants. *I'm thinking of wearing the jungle boots I got issued in basic training. I know Mindbender's are more elaborate, but they should look the part. * Gloves, I was thinking paintball or fingerless driving gloves. *The monocle is just a key ring, but I'm thinking of keeping it that way. I hear in costuming it's better not to have glass in your glasses because of the glare the flash makes. *If I get enough encouragement, I'll shave my chin and have just the mustache going down... I'll even dye it black. and finally... I know it would be against the cartoon, but I will most likely wear a purple cobra T-shirt too. its one thing to wear this outfit in my own living room... but I can't suck it in that gut all day! Comments welcome! Peter

Everyone says scary... Is that scary evil face or scary hairy chest? Cus, I could do something about the chest. I just picked up a purple shirt and some iron on transfers. I could whip-up a cobra issued covering. I'm basing the color of the shirt on the series two figure www.yojoe.com/action/93/drmindbender2.shtmland the rest of the costume on Series one www.yojoe.com/action/86/drmindbender.shtmlThe whole point of doing this is because I want to indulge the evil genius inside, and I can't think of anything more evil genius then a monocle and cape held on with silver web gear.

Looks pretty good so far. Can't wait to see the rest of the outfit when it's all finished.

To go all out, you should wax that chest.

Looks pretty good, so we are opening things up to Cobras now? If so then, I might actually have something.

To go all out, you should wax that chest. As Roadblock might say "Ewwww but true baby!" And as for the Cobra thing Pete just posted here first cause he's our bud. And the Joe boards are usually more accepting and fun. Though lately... Heck Ang and I have nok costumes and I've only posted a handful of times over on their site. It's cool, just most of my friends and costuming colleagues are right here sooooo...It's all Hasbro/Marvel, it's all mostly 80's, it's all for the the love of wearing whatever the hell you want to. Once again, welcome Pete (aka Roy Fokker, and yes, before anyone asks, his lovely Claudia is accurate to a T!)

Was just wondering. Still working on my Zandar, and I should have Headman done by MegaCon.

I actually still have a bottle of nair when I tired it for my head. (never do that btw, always use a razor) so if I decide to exersize my right to bare chest, I'll be sure to do use it. here's the good Dr with a shirt, what do you think? obviously I'll make that logo better, this was just a test to give you an idea.
