I totally stole/borrowed this recipe from a guy called Dearth on the MuppetCentral boards, who is also on the RebelScum boards as New_Bornalex. So all credits to him for inventing this figure. It is Gonzo the Great as Dearth Nadir, as seen in the Star Wars / Mark Hamill episode of The Muppet Show (and other episodes as well). Indeed the name is supposed to be 'Dearth Nadir'. According to MuppetWiki it is a play on words. 'Dearth' means 'lack of' and 'Nadir' means 'the lowest point'.
Recipe:
- Pez-dispenser Darth Vader head (added a ball joint)
- Palisades Gonzo figure body
- POTF 1996 Darth Vader figure's cape
- Sculpted chest piece (supposed to look like an egg slicer, like on the show) + sculpted nose
- Lots of black paint. Gloss for the helmet, matte for the face and body.
Most likely more Muppets customs to come the next couple of months (I work slow...)
Very cool! Very wacky!
