Lemme start this off with a brief history of Flash and myself

Flash was one of the first few Joes I got, I got him from Sears and at the time regretted not getting a gobot or something of the like... thus our grudge began

of all the joes I owned as a child he worried me the least when he disappeared, and usually was met with grumbling disapointment when I found him instead of who ever I was looking for. In the days of the cartoon he seemed totally useless save for one or two times they recycled him shooting bricks. he never captured my attention in the comic. And later when my crazy ex ran off with most of my collection... yup she left him. the proverbial bad penny. When DD killed him Mainframe and a half dozen others in the second cobra civil war on cobra island. the obvious choice for me to resurrect was Mainframe, but I'd wish for the return of Raptor, Bongo the Bear or Bea Arthur as the Cantina Wench before ever seeing him again. and along comes 25th annv. 5 months of only seeing Tiger Force Duke and FLash peg warming.

I have come to terms with this one, he was one of The Thirteen and has earned a place in my Verse' enough blathering here is SIgma Flash

Head: Duke
Torso: Kamakura
Forearms: Joefly
Hands: duke
Lowerlegs: Cobra Commander
Rifle: HiTech
Powerpack: IG
helmet: Backblast

I love all the parts except the torso. There is just something I'm not digging. The feet, however, are a truly inspired choice. They look awesome.

between the mid chest and knees there is an awful lot of just green. think he needs a belt, I'll dig up one of the sigmastrike duke belts or a joefly belt.

updated with touchups, belt and modded rifle, I saw this configuration of Hitech's rifle with firefly's smg barrel and site I just can't remember exactly where it was likely on JBL and kudos and credit to who did it first

Credit goes to Kursse @ JBL for rifle design

I really like the new rifle, and the belt really makes this figure. It's funny how something that small can make such a difference.

btw, what did you use for his backpack?
