I bought this guy off eBay a few weeks ago. He’s pretty easy to seek out and I know a few franchises have him. (I actually bought this guy finally because I saw that Ghostbusting 911 from MSP had one.) It took a bit to get him from Florida to Minnesota and his sculpt was a bit off from the photos. He’s made of foam and his arms are brittle. I relate him close to those [80s foam pumpkin halloween props](http://collectorgene.com/2012/10/meet-the-oh-lantern-family/). The drool is pretty awesome but his paint job SUCKS. Flat lime green. Yuck. With a bit of “Christmas green” acrylic paint and some Glow in the Dark acrylic paints, I decided to give him a detailed look. The first coat was the CG on heavy with wiping away excess so it filled in the cracks. Then I let him have a generous coat of GITD which I let fully dry over night. The next morning he looked as if he had a salt bath which led me to giving him another coating of the CG acrylic. The paints mixed well and he does a pretty fantastic glow in the dark job. When the lights go off in the man cave, he does actually look great. I might have to get him a black light display now. Here are some photos of the process: The original look: [![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/3/b/3bda4f8b222eec4656f443e5504888dad1448779.jpeg)](http://s236.photobucket.com/user/heroic21/media/ed17a14e8f1f51fcb929bf14bc2b59aa.jpg.html) First coat of Christmas Green: [![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/5/2/520d98281835a23fa11ee25a523adb2ff5be4799.jpeg)](http://s236.photobucket.com/user/heroic21/media/123397dbbbe36cb158e314cb7bf55ff2.jpg.html) Applied a little GITD paint in this close up: [![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/e/5/e5459b51605ce439dd513625a2b2b1b809843247.jpeg)](http://s236.photobucket.com/user/heroic21/media/727870667f734d79b67efb5b15b7f584.jpg.html) And when the lights go out: [![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/9/c/9cf27afde47ef37145bb2f00f7dcbddd2b8700e9.jpeg)](http://s236.photobucket.com/user/heroic21/media/d875e9262dd49b3e1c655cb93ff0d84c.jpg.html) [![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/1/d/1d1b6973792fdc3f6cea3a5f1bdf97f4d76f198f.jpeg)](http://s236.photobucket.com/user/heroic21/media/6df6f1883b15cd401c4acd310a59aa6b.jpg.html) After day one of painting, this is the before and after: [![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/9/c/9c76d02ca90b38b51ec62cdfcdf22889c0cd6064.jpeg)](http://s236.photobucket.com/user/heroic21/media/e68767852af0552cbaefcbbc9fd4c2c2.jpg.html) ---

What brand of acrylic paint did you use? Very interested in the glow in the dark paint. ---

I used two: Plaid glow in the dark gel and Americana GITD paint. Both were found at Walmart. ---
