Head: 2000 Big Ben
Torso, upper arms: RoC Duke
Lower arms: Retaliation GI Joe Trooper
Legs: 25th Snow Serpent


When GI Joe was re-launched in 1997, several older molds were repainted. This was an opportunity for collectors to get their hands on certain figures that had missed as kids. Big Ben had not been seen since 1992 and was repainted as an Arctic trooper in 2000. I bought this version when I was just getting back into Joes and this repaint always made sense to me. After I found a good recipe to make the original Big Ben, this custom was added to my ''to-do'' list. Custom Celebration X gave me the opportunity to knock it off my list.
