Well, rats! Here someone else has come along and glommed onto my own
concepts before I got them out onto the web. In my case, these approaches
were driven by a Dark Age which covered the period of Islanders, so that
I've had to pick up incomplete figure parts.
After a couple of auctions where actual Islander heads went way beyond my
limit, but where I was able to get torsos and (some) legs, I began looking at
(and using) these alternate heads. Accordingly, my tribe has a handful of
"real" islanders, backed up by guys with Islander torsos, but with Native
American and Darth Maul heads (can you say "Maori"?). In a few cases, lack of
islander legs is made up by use of Adventurers' mummy legs.
In a shameless site plug, anyone wanting to see the Native Americans as
they come from TLC can zip over to http://home.att.net/~locker99 and
follow the "Wild West" link. More scans of actual figures from many
other series will appear there just as soon as I finish:
1. retiling my bath
2. spreading tons of mulch in the yard
3. mowing grass for the umpteenth time
etc., etc., etc....
