Cool stuff, Tim! Love that BT head for Ripcord. That's one of the best heads around for a good, generic look, and I think it works perfectly here. The only thing bugging me is his gun - paratroopers, especially HALO-types, usually use more compact weapons, since they have to load it in with all their crap for the jump. I don't see Rippy packing a giant-ass machine gun (that requires a lot of heavy ammo.) Wet-suit is just friggin' awesome - is that an ARAH head? It looks great on the 25A body. Keep 'em comin!

If Hasbro had done that good of a job with Wet-Suit, I would've bought one! Fantastic job! |

what Chief said. Nice work, and that's the first custom Ripcord head I've seen where it has felt like the original figure to me. |

thanks guys.That head says ripcord to me too. I see your point about the gun just used it rather than what he came with, ez fix though. Wet suit does have a ARAH head and I am completely happy with the figure since he's better than what we got sold. again thanks I got more customs coming too hope ya like... |

When I first saw these, nothing stood out at me only because I haven't been collecting this line much even though I do expect to buy this set in the future. Anyway I guess my "not noticing" suggests that yours looks really sharp! In fact, I just now took a bit to find and do some review reading about the originals. Wetsuit, is waaay improved! What happened Hasbro? Amazing too that the ARAH head works with this beautifully. As for Ripcord, I just read that there's no hole on the harness to accept the mask hose. Aaargh! That original head definitely needed replacement too. I'll admit that I do like the Blowtorch mask instead. The "viper" G35 needed replacement as well. Great work and mods Tim! |
