It's a really cool mod that fits very well with the theme. It was a lot more work than I suspected. Used my dremel with a cut off wheel to do the majority of the work to cut the chair down. And then I used a exacto knife to remove his neck and mounted a Flasher. I then glued his neck and head together a wired him into the flasher.
I really appreciate the lead for the Frank Miller Electric Chair action figure from EBAY, but what I am really looking for is someone who has converted this figure into a mod for TFTC which needs to include the following:
1. Mounting Method via bracket or some other means
2. LED mounted in the action figure which flashes during the appropriate mode (I assume that would be the electric chair mode)
3. A method to power the mod from an existing power source within the TFTC pin
4. A set of detailed instructions for how to install this mod
5. The mod should be reversible to bring the TFTC back to 100 percent stock if so desired
I realize that this will make the mod more expensive and I will pay accordingly. If anyone has a Frank Miller Electric Chair Mod that meets the above criteria that they are willing to part with or would like to make one for me let me know and I will procure the base action figure.
You may PM me if interested and we can work out the details.
Thanks for your interest.

Quoted from mcclad:If you need to buy the base action figure, I might have one for sale. Pm me if you need to go down that road.
Thanks for the offer. If I get someone willing to fully craft this mod for me I may take you up on your offer.

You just have to cut chair and sides of leg down to make him fit. One hole drilled for gi lighting tapped into sorce under playfield, then use the other to tap skull area. Be carefull with 12volts with leds unless you added proper resistor. Takes some time but not too difficult to do
Never knew of this mod, Thanks! Now, is there a link on how to do the mod anywhere if the OP or anyone else wanted to attempt it?
Still looking for someone to create this Marv electric chair mod.
1. Mounting Method via bracket or some other means
2. LED mounted in/under/behind the action figure which flashes during the appropriate mode (I assume that would be the electric chair mode) or connected to pop bumpers is also fine
3. A method to power the mod from an existing power source within the TFTC pin
4. A set of detailed instructions for how to install this mod
5. The mod should be reversible to bring the TFTC back to 100 percent stock if so desired

Here are some pics of the latest TFTC electric chair mod. The toy has to be disassembled , then grinded down to make him fit. The factory color is all grey and pretty flat looking. Custom painting all the features really make the details pop nicely. A bright Led flasher is mounted behind his back on the chair. A wiring harness and instructions are included as well. PM me for any other details.
Very cool, thx for posting the installed pic. I have a few more available if anyone else is interested.

Quoted from ilovegames:Just a thought, wouldn't this be an awesome replacement for Sparky on Metallica?
