Here's what I did to 25th Wet Suit. Helmet is from RoC Flash, painted to match the back pack, lower arms were swapped out for bare arms and the lower legs were repainted. I may swap out the lower legs as this kinda looks like the lower part of his dive suit is black rather than the boots his v1 counter-part wears . The O-ring version is there for reference but is v1 with v7's head.

Last time I posted Frostbite, y'all said said hurtful and mean things to me, questioning my manhood and what not, so I made some improvements, I hope.
Again, arctic Shippy's head, PoC Zartan's goggles, now I've added a Snow Serpent's collar with the shoulders cut off and the shoulder holster of RoC Destro. I cut off one of the chest pouches so the holster would sit better. I'll have to cut down the straps for the holster or swap it for Hawk's coz it is a bit large. V1 Frostbite doesn't have a thigh rig, so I thought about giving him the legs of one of the RoC Storm Shadows but the white of this figure is a bit "off," maybe a bit yellowed. Here's the thing about that too, I think Hasbro made the Snow Job pre-yellowed as an homage to how the original figure tended to yellow. This figure was always out of the sun, so it couldn't be naturally yellowed.

Raptor? This is not an official custom by me. Just something I was messing around with. Since a lot of people said PoC Zartan reminded them of Raptor, I took it a step farther and added the guille suit of Jungle Viper (I call them Sniper Vipers). This one was already painted brown for use by my desert Sniper Viper and looked good for a modernized, updated version of Raptor's wings. If you like the idea, go ahead and steal it. It's just something I was having fun with.

I like wet suit, I do think he needs boots to be perfect though.

These all look great. I especially like Wetsuit. Raptor is super simple, I might steal your recipe.

Chadmatted! :-D

Yeah, it's a good design, and I think something that they may have had in mind. I flipped the whole rig upside down so that the little hood thing could act as a tail for the suit.

I rather like that Frostbite, as it 's simple enough for me to try and pull off. Good work!

Pretty sure you're right about Snow Job, I have had the same thought. These are great. Raptor's Raptor is better, but they are all well done.
