I went by the ol' art supply store last night and got some. They work pretty
well, though you have to have a steady hand because the tip isn't exactly
fine point.

Here's a pic of the ones I did last night:

Please forgive the crappy webcam image. I'm going to be buying a new
digital camera soon, and I'm going to invest in a close-up lens.

I'm the one on the left  :^)

I used a Sharpie fine point for the "spectacles." I'm probably going to go
back later and straighten the edges of the specs with an X-Acto.

As you can see in the pic, the little "ninja glider" wing struts work very well
as a handle for the minifig heads so you don't have to worry about
smudging them.

Have fun, and thanks for the suggestion!
