The vintage helmet doesn't work for me. Too big and bulky and the sculpt is too soft compared to the rest of the figure. Not sure what would be a good modern replacement though. Aside from that the rest is really well done, as usual. |

Yeah the vitnage helmet is weird, but otherwise the figure is flawless |

Hate to be the echo, but I agree with the above. For what it's worth, I've started Blizzard customs three times since the modern era began and the helmet is the one thing I haven't been able to figure out. Part of me thinks the Steel Brigade Alpha helmet could be modified to get it close, but I've never hald that figure or helmet in hand so I can't be sure. Perfect work from the neck down' though. |

That is awesome! One of my faves from the ARAH line. While I see what others are saying about the helmet, I love it as-is and you can sen it to me if you feel the need to start over...,,,,,, Seriously, awesome, awesome custom! |

Just pondering ideas, perhaps a Star Wars helmet would make a good substitute for the helmet? |

Very nice...it works very well. My only question is about the accessories. Were those modified version of the originals or did you build it off existing modern tooled accessories? |

Except the Steel Brigade Alpha helmet part, I agree with this post. I have a Blizzard sitting in my work box because I got the body where I wanted it, but the helmet just doesn't work and without the helmet, it's just not Blizzard. Yours is a great custom of him, aside from the helmet, and I understand why you had to use it. |

The first Blizzard I made used the Luke/Mara Jade 2 pack X-Wing helmet. It was the only one with a full face mask that I trimmed back to the correct size. His gear is all modded form the original figure to fit the new bodies. |
