Custom-Showcase: Popeye by Southerndrawl (For "5-Eyed Dragon")

To be frank, before I'd spotted this custom-Da Minci on Southerndrawl's facebook-album, I had plain forgotten about the classic-cartoon POPEYE The Sailorman! An old fav from my childhood, the adventures of the spinach-guzzling anti-hero had disappeared amidst the veil of the new-fangled CGI-animation dazzle, and the allure of Japanese anime, IMHO. So instead of blabbing on about how awesome-cool and perfect-fit this custom on a Tim Tsui-figure is, I'd simply like to thank Southerndrawl, for helping me remember a lil'piece of my childhood! I Yam What I Yam, And That's All That I Yam!

This 10" tall POPEYE custom is Southerndrawl's second piece completed for the upcoming "5-Eyed Dragon Show" at Dragatomi [tagged] launching April 10th. The first custom completed for the show was Ferdinand The Bullabit posted here :)

TAGLINE: "After popeye stopped acting, he never touched another can of spinach again, got the tats he wanted and started hitting the sauce."

Now, I've suddenly got a'hankerin' to watch the big-screen version of POPEYE potrayed by Robin Williams and directed by Robert Altman [wiki] and it's all Southerndrawl's "fault"! LOL
