Will Foster is not having a good day. First he is stuck in traffic. Then he gets a raw deal from a store clerk when he asks for change. Then two gang members threaten him and attempt to kill him. All that Will Foster wants to do is go home. So clear a path for him, because he is armed and has had enough with the world.

I think it would be perfect if you swapped out ROC Cobra Commander legs- less bulky.

Massive win here, I agree about using RoC CC legs though.

The diorama is pretty impressive too. Simple but helps sell it even more.

Thanks for the compliments. I agree that the ROC CC legs would look better, but I had none and still have no use for the rest of that CC. We need those legs on better figures.

Superb. I absolutely love this film and great fig.

I have to admit though, I also agree about finding thinner legs.

Really great idea.

I think the slimmer legs would be a good call. Maybe some less bulky forearms, too. But at it's core this is awesome.
