With my local Target getting the new Retaliation 3 packs I’ve been able to get some customizing done lately.

Let’s start with what I like to call a 30th anniversary style Firefly. I used the 25th legs since they remind me more of the original ARAH figure than the legs that came on the stock figure.

Here he is next to my customized 25th anniversary Firefly. I had made the knife in his boot a working accessory using a Marauder Gun Runners knife, so I decided to use one for the 30th version as well. I did not like the gray one that came with him because it was just over kill of the same grays over and over again.

Here is my 25th custom, my 30th style custom, and a factory original Retaliation 3 pack version:

Next up is Cobra Invasor. Like everyone else, I made him from a Dollar General Cobra Trooper. However I used a 25th anniversary Snake Eyes head, because NONE of my Snake Eyes figures use this head. The POC Commando head looks so much better as Snake Eyes, so that made the 25th head the perfect choice to differentiate between Snake Eyes and Invasor.

Invasor next to Snake Eyes:

I gave him a standard (for my army) Cobra rifle and the lower legs of a Cobra Trooper to make him similar to my Cobras and there again, give him a little more differentiation from Snake Eyes

Invasor Vs Snake Eyes!

And my custom 30th style commando Snake Eyes:

Finally, my custom 30th style visor Snake Eyes. I wanted to give a more military, less pajama-wearing look, so he’s in BDU’s

That Firefly you made is just plain awesome, the best ever, truly great.

Really cool work on the Snake Eyes figures and Cobra Invasor.

Thanks! It's the left leg that came with him. I removed the grenade pouch and greenstuff casted the dynamite from the ARAH figure, then glued and painted.
