I remember a time when I was a kid, and deciding that my current set of action figures were boring.  It was time to take apart my toys and rebuild them to be even better than they were before.  G.I. Joe got the worst of it.  I remember taking the screws out of their backs and switching out different parts from other figures and making a better looking figure.  Sometimes I would put them together very loosely so that when when Stormshadow got in the way of the Bridgelayer he would explode.  There was a time when Sgt. Slaughter and Stalker’s Kayak met up with a wood burning set.  Sgt. Slaughter ending up  half man, half kayak.

Of course I will never forget the day that my friend’s Dad let us use the blow torch.  No one was safe.  Which brings me to the image above:  Barbecue Matches!

What pyromaniac kid wouldn’t have wanted to his own set of Barbecue Matches.  I swear if these actually existed there would have been way more fires in my house as a child.  I can really only recall 3 instances where the house was on fire and it was my fault.  Only 2 involved matches, and the 3rd was a pretty spectacular grease fire.

Here is a bit of parental advice: Don’t leave your child alone when he plans on making egg rolls and watching Robotech at the same time.

To make the image above a used a pretty awesome combination of Photoshop, beer, boredom, and an action script from eCovergo.com.  The action scripts are pretty bad ass, but I should really focus on using them for actual projects, like making eBook covers for people.  I still will probably also make a set of Inferno (from Transformers) Matches to compliment this set..eventually.

Anyways let me know what you think of the picture I made by leaving a comment below.  I would love to here your feedback.  Or if you have any crazy ideas of stuff that you would like to see then let me know and maybe I can cook something up (without burning down the house!)
