I also posted this thread hoping to spur a little discussion about painting these guys...but to no avail.

But what I find funny is that the Big Lots Pele is a tiny bit different than the Disney original. The one from Big Lots looks like he's(She's?) wearing shorts, as Chip and Andy mentioned. It might be difficult to pull off the orange on the legs like in the photo above.

Just my $.02
