Nighthawk's modern updates on vintage Joe ARAH figures

(1/21) > >>

nighthawk:
Here's my thread for my updates on vintage characters on the Joe side:

Sgt. Slaughter:


Rapid Fire:
When I hear Rapid Fire, first thing to come to mind is that green monstrosity that Hasbro gave us with the VHS tape.  Well, this one is actually based on the 12" version.  YOJOE.COM | Rapid-Fire 
The grey helmet that came with Rollbar went to Sneak Peek so I gave him a protec helmet.








Sneak Peek:







His tower can connect to his backpack







Blizzard:






Leatherneck:





Duke:
I never thought I'd ever do a Duke custom...other than this minor tweak to fix his arms:


However, he's kind of outdated when you compare him to the new POC stuff.  The new POC Hawk did not scream Hawk to me.  I decided to use that as a base to make a more battle ready Duke and the POC Duke head was such a nice sculpt, I felt I had to use it somewhere.  Unfortunately, the skin tone was off from the 25th one so I give you my new battlefield Duke:












Long Arm:








Too bad I don't have a bomb for him to look over, but at least this shows that he can be posed on his knees looking over a bomb.


Ripcord:





Freefall:







Charbroil:







Slipstream:





This picture is an old one just to show how he looks without his helmet.


Iceberg:








Frostbite:



Sub Zero:


Mainframe:





Some more detailed pictures showing the backpack/walkie talkie mod. 





Here's another picture of the backpack.  Not the best quality picture, but gives an idea of what was done.  I cut a groove in the back frame part around the peg so it fits the contours of his webgear.




BBQ:

I modified the left leg so he can holster his nozzle. 

Side view of BBQ:


Close up of the holster.  I cut a bit too much on the bottom and now you can see the stress marks :(


Helmetless view:






Ambush:







Salvo:

nighthawk:
Here's my thread for vintage era Cobra characters:

Cobra Commander:




Dr. Mindbender:




Closeups of the gauntlets:





Slice:





Dice:






Together:


Interrogator:









Monkeywrench:








For the glasses to fit, all I did was drill holes in his head for the glasses:



Mjr. Bludd:

nighthawk:
Topside.





Deep Six:




Cutter with a Boston helmet



Shipwreck:

nighthawk:
Rampart:
Here's one that's been on my to do list for a while.  I started on this one when POC Dusty first came out...yeah, it's been a WIP for a looooong time...haha.

Anyways, here you go, my modern Rampart:




The attachment point for his rifle:





Closeups of his head with goggles on and off.












rifle:

morgardee:
That's pretty good. He looks like he would fit in with last years Joe Canuck set.

Good on ya.

Timbit coming at you.  ;)
