So last week a couple of friends of mine were married and I was one of the groomsmen in this wedding, (there were eight of us groomsmen). To show appreciation and thanks for our help and participation the groom, Joel Jackson, purchased 8 of those vinyl Munny figures and painted each one up with a design or theme related to each groomsmen. So for example, one of the guys really likes Johnny Cash, so his figure was painted to look like Johnny Cash. Another guy had created his own comic book character so his was painted up to look like his comic book character. My friend Joel knows that I am a Pearl Jam fan so he painted mine up to look like Eddie Vedder. He included the skateboard, aviator shades and the "hello my name is" sticker as accessories and told me later that he tried to find a tiny wine bottle or a tiny pack of smokes to go with it. The best accessory though is the voice box. He bought one of those record yourself voice boxes from a Build-A-Bear and recorded himself doing a goofy lock-jawed Even Flow verse. Pretty funny. :)

Hope the links work.
