Where to begin on this figure. I think I may have started this figure as early as 2002. Chad and I had planned on doing the original 13 in new sculpt form. Since the inception of the 25th anniversary line, our new sculpt original 13 have been scrapped. Because of that, I had this torso left over. I had planned on using it for Mayor anyway, so even if it is about 6 years late, here is Spytroops Mayor

Mayor: Spytroops

The goggles were carved out of a Chap Mei. The feet were cut off of a BBi figure. The torso was definitely the most work. After removing most of the detail off of the Beachhead torso, I sculpted on the straps, then added a CORPS! grenade, pouches from a Remco figures webgear, and a knife cut off a Chap Mei figure.

And, because he is Spytroops, he wouldn't be complete without Spytroops gear

Now that he is out of the way, I can try to finish my versions of 25th and Resolute Mayor.

Hope you like it. Let me know what you think.

That's great...I love the idea, it would have totally worked 3 years ago....

Craftsmanship looks excellent as always, I can't even pick out any flaws...other than it being "newsculpt"... but that's just me being an ARAH snob.

Nov'as right, that is a great custom three years ago. :-D

Really though, the goggles look sculpted rather than removable. That's talent, baby!

The goggles really work here. Nice work.
