It’s the return of the WORLDOFHURTONLINE.COM Friday blog update. Huzzah!

Today, I thought I’d share with you something I received in my e-mail inbox that impressed the hell outta me.  As you know, I’m one of the biggest Afrodisiac boosters around.  Jim Rugg and Brian Maruca captured lightning in a bottle with their stories that invoke the best of Silver and Bronze Age superhero comic books with the sexy, dangerous street-level sensibilities of Blaxploitation.  I’ve been vocal about how its influenced me, but it appears that I’m not the only one.  The talented Walter Harris, a self-described “Account Supervisor by occupation, Action Figure Customizer by inclination” sent me these photos of this awesome Afrodisiac custom action figure he created:

Walter did a phenomenal job with the details in this piece.  The denim texture of Afrodisiac’s pants, the intense knife-you-in-the-ribs-as-soon-as-look-at-you gaze, and the sweet touch of the flocked Afro a la the old school GI Joe dolls really make this custom job really stand out.

I’ve already inquired about commissioning a custom Pastor figure from Walter, so if it all comes through, expect it to be on display with me as I make the convention rounds in the near future.

If you’d like to see more of Walter Harris’ skillful handiwork, you might want to drop by the links below.  (HINT: I bet the first link will really make the kid in you want to COME OUT AND PLAAAYYY-AAAAAAYYY!)
