I'm still debating doing the legs and arms, but my main thing was wanting the helmet for him, so when I found a second Flash, I snagged him for the helmet. Drilled out the silver tubes with a 1/32" bit and Wet Suit's hoses fit just right. Painted his head, neck, and the helmet with a mixture of 4 parts banana yellow to 1 part golden brown (Apple Barrel colors). I'm trying to find a head I like to use as his head without the cap on, but still haven't found a decent one.

That's a great idea, MarkM.

As long as Hasbro screwed with the original design and added long sleeve, I wish they would have muted the loud color of the mask and neck. You matched it perfectly, though.

If you ever decide to try another, I'd like to see one with a dark teal mask and helmet.

I have 3 more Wet Suits to test on (was thinking of doing one in BJ Wet Suit colors). If I can find a few more Flashes, I just might try the teal, too.

Was that the one with the grey wetsuit/black helmet? That would make for a great custom.

It was this one: http://www.yojoe.com/action/02/wetsuit9.shtml

Black (or maybe Midnight Blue, hard for me to tell, even on the one I have), with gray and blue trim and highlights.

Cool!!

I've been digging through my fodder bins looking for the old JvC Wetsuit helmet for mine (I'm using a Chris Jericho head for an appropriately pissed-off WS), but this works way better.

Now to go find a Flash - they're probably all gone now, seeing as how I've passed on a half-dozen so far....

That whole wave with Flash hasn't shown up here yet, but when it does, I'm planning on doing this too. I think that Wet Down figure that's supposedly on the way will have one of these helmets too.

No, that one's just ROC Wet-Suit, and the Chinese factory sneaks just slapped random accessories on it.
The actual release will have the same gear Cobra Island Wet-Suit here has.

I was thinking about doing that with Flash's helmet if I ran across an extra one. Glad to know it looks this good.

As soon as I saw Flash's helmet, it was my first thought. Maybe at some point down the road Hasbro will use it for a diver.
