Here is my take on Blizzard in the latest incarnation of Joe, "Pursuit of Cobra" style. This is my first attempt at painting a white uniform, and while it was over white parts, it did include different shades and camo being covered up... it is a pain! Anyway, let me know what you think...

Parts List:
Body, arms: ROC Arctic Snake-Eyes
Gloves, parka: POC Snow-Job
Legs, rifle, snow-board, backpack: ROC Arctic Duke (unreleased)
Head: 25th Green Shirt (TRU)
Helmet: random 25th figure w/ROC Arctic Snake-Eyes' visor

Next up, Wild Bill. First off, let me just say that I have never really liked any of the Wild Bill figures Hasbro has given us, and therefore have been working to make one that I feel captures the essence of the character. Here is what I came up with, let me know what you think.

Very rad stuff, that wild bill head is freakin awesome.


Blizzard of course, is great but he needs some sort of straps for the backpack and then he'll be extra cool. In fact, I wish to steal that design (aside from that gun, it was totally hasbro'd)

Both of these rock. Blizzard is a cool update of the vintage one that totally fits with POC, in that he's modernized but still very recognizable. I dig Wild Bill's color scheme and the head choice is great. I think he could use some sun glasses though, and maybe a smaller neck bandanna thing.

Both are winners.

One small critique: rough-up/weather Blizzard's gear a bit. It's too "brand new" looking compared to the figure.

Those are awesome. I'm especially taken with WB. He has a very "real world" feel to him. He'd fit into the POC realm of figs quite well. Actually both of them would.
