My name is Felix Greco, and I’m a peladofigphobiac.

I USED to be. When Spider-Man came out, I thought it was sort of, well, WRONG looking. But after drawing all the AFOLs comic, and having a main character “bald,” it all seems normal to me. Spider-Man is fine, Mace Windu is fine, the soccer player with the headband is fine... I’ve even made custon Star Wars cantina aliens that seem quite normal to me now. There are two characters from the upcoming Batman line that are “bald” that I had to draw comics for, and they didn’t make me flinch (from the upcoming ‘Batman vs. Male Pattern Baldness’ set).

So I guess the cure for peladofigphobia is to draw comics with hatless mini-figs!
