After deciding 2 things- 1) that Hasbro bodies are inferior to other company bodies, and 2) that the body I was using is essentially falling apart from old age- I'm combining my Hasbro CC and Sideshow CC into one.

This is the Sideshow figure with the 1992 shirt and pants and 2004 cape. I removed the holsters and pouches from the belt, threaded some to the thin belt of the pants and relocated the wide belt to the waist with the clip pouch and knife on it. One of my big gripes with Sideshow's CC is that their blue is just very dark.

Later I will buy 3 more Sideshow heads- 1 to glue the old Hasbro hood onto, 1 to sacrifice to modify the helmet head to fit on this neck, and 1 for an unmasked head.

A minor revision. I stripped off the clothes and wrapped the arms and legs in spare cloth to pad them as the uniform is very loose and baggy on this body. I also swapped to the Hasbro boots as they're flat black and match the gloves. You might spot the bottom of a stand clip- I have the waist clip underneath the coat.

And a 3rd image. After getting some advice on the topic I altered Hasbro's 2004 CC helmet head to fit the Sideshow body. I did this by trimming away at the neck opening to the very edge. The head simply slides down over the neck post, keeping a tight fit.
