Customs / Wetsuit
« on: June 16, 2011, 01:22:12 PM »
When the 1986 figures came out, Wetsuit and Beachhead were my favourite.  The only reason I got the Devilfish was that I loved the box art with Wetsuit and Beachhead on it.  That's also why I loved the cover of issue #47 of the comics so much too.

When the club showed the Wetsuit figure and that it used a lot of POC Beachhead parts, I was thrilled.  I went and got a POC Beachhead after I confirmed I was able to get Wetsuit.  I thought they would look cool side by side.  However, I wanted some elements of the scuba gear on Wetsuit so I made some changes and have him displayed with Beachhead now. 

However, the scuba mask is too big to fit on the Wetsuit head. <!-- s:( -->:(<!-- s:( -->
I swapped out the head and put Chuckles head on the body.  Now, the hat won't fit anymore...haha. I'm debating which of the two helmets to use.  The smaller one in the pictures might look too small for him but the color is a perfect match.  The Breaker helmet seems to make his head look huge.  I don't know which to use.  Maybe I might mod a Benchpress hat to see if I can make it fit (I don't want to mod the Wetsuit at all so I can revert him back).

What do you guys think?

Customs / Cobra Fury with Street Viper
« on: June 09, 2011, 12:26:38 PM »
One thing I hated was that when Hasbro re-released some of the vehicles that had pegs to be used as control sticks, they removed them in the new releases.  Such examples are the Mobat and the Fury.

I just really hate how the gunner sits there with nothing to hold at all.  Makes him look silly sitting there being exposed to gun fire with nothing to do other than possibly sit there and bark orders out.

Here's my quick mod of the Fury.  I added a control stick.  It's from ROC Heavy Duty's missile firing gatling gun.  I drilled a hole and plugged the modified handle in.

As for the driver, I showed him before but didn't have a name.  When I saw the Fury, I thought his colors are perfect as a Fury driver.  I've named him Street Viper.  I did some additional mods to him in that I had to modify his hip socket area so that he can actually sit down properly as before, he couldn't bend at the hips the full 90 degrees.

Customs / My Original 13 with modifications
« on: May 17, 2011, 07:12:06 PM »
Here's all the Original 13 figures that I had made some change to it.  I've put them all in one thread.  I actually just finally finished Grunt last night.

The only ones that I left exactly the way Hasbro gave it to us were Hawk, Snake Eyes, Scarlett and Zap.  Some of these were posted before, but I'm just consolidating them all.  Only Grunt is new. 

Here's a list of what I've done to them:
Grunt: 
Head: Greenshirt trooper.  His head looks more like the Spy Troops Grunt which I liked better.
Webgear: SRO Grunt
backpack: vintage Grunt's modified to fit
Rest: comic pack Duke

Steeler:
helmet: BrokenArrowtoys cast
visor: vintage
lower arms: comic pack Duke
hands: random pair of black Snake Eyes
Rest: Steeler

Grand Slam:
head: DTC Grand Slam
jetpack: Skyduster
Rest: Target Grand Slam

Short Fuze:
head and Mortar: Short Fuze
Webgear, hands and backpack: Zap
helmet and visor: Flash
Lower legs: Clutch
Rest: comic pack Duke

Rock N Roll:
arms and hands: Skyduster
holster: Duke
Rest: Rock N Roll

Clutch:
arms and hands: TF Flint
Rest: Clutch

Flash:
not really anything to it, I just didn't like how Hasbro change his gear to silver so I slapped on a Breaker backpack and Night Watch laser trooper's rifle to give it the vintage color look.

Breaker:
arms: TF Flint
hands: Cobra Flint
head: Benchpress
backpack: vintage modified
Rest: Breaker

Stalker:
I liked the UBP version better.  Just gave him TF Duke's gun.

Also wouldn't mind getting a Sparta as well.

Customs / My 25th Snowbank
« on: October 21, 2010, 12:58:40 PM »
I originally thought of making him into Snow Storm (which is the reason he's using that gun).  Here's Snow Storm: YOJOE.COM | Snow Storm. If I decide to leave him as Snowbank, I'll probably give him Aqua Viper Officer's gun in the future.  If I decide to convert him to Snow Storm, then I'll Leave him with that gun. 

So, here are the pictures:





If anyone's got an extra Snow Job to trade, hit me up cause if I get another Snow Job, then I can make a Snow Storm and keep my Snowbank.
