Well I still like my aged EXCAL Flint as my personal default for the figure, but this simple headswap was just calling out to be photographed. Thinking now I will go all out on him, picking a couple part upgrades, and painting him up, as well.

It's the head that caught my eye as being a young Flint, maybe even Renegades Flint. He has the smirk, he has the hair, and I do prefer my Flint to have a version sans beret. The good news here, is that this head accomodates the Marauder John standard beret quite nicely as well.

So LBC-wise, it's a Resolute Flint figure, with a head swap from a Star Wars Royal Naboo Guard figure. I did have to drop some hot glue into the SW head to make a nice snug fit, but didn't have to drill any of it out.

I can easily see that as a young Flint. That head works really well for that purpose.

I think it will look even better once I do more than the LBC treatment. I think I could almost paint this and the Resolute Flint head to match each other fairly well, and go with swappable heads rather than removable cap.

I mainly wanted to let people know that particular SW figure has potential hidden under the helmet, if you find one.

A bit young for Flint, but I love the head. Cool looking figure.

That head looks really good. Wondering if I shouldn't swap the head on my own Flint custom with it now.

Great head for the character.

Kind of want to find that Star Wars figure now.

It passes perfectly for a Flint head.
