I’m certain Tombstone was made in his leather jumpsuit costume so Hasbro could use a majority of recycled parts with a minimum of paint. This disappointed everyone who wanted him in a three piece suit, but I wasn’t among them. What bothered me was that his sleeves were so long. This outfit has often been long-sleeved in the comics, but I prefer the short sleeved Spider-Man cartoon look. I wasn’t a fan of the periwinkle skin or ill-fitting bootstraps hanging limply around his ankles either.
I glued on sleeve cuffs made from rest of the fortune cookie fortune I’d used on Barbara Kean the Stabby Queen. Then I painted his skin antique white in a rare acceptable instance of whitewashing. Since the bootstraps were too narrow to slide up around the tops of his shins, I just cut them off. Then I painted his shins downward glossy black to give the impression of boots rather than him wearing a onesie. The mid-calf swivels also suggest this, which is why Hasbro shouldn’t use them on characters that don’t wear boots of this height.
