I’m working on creating modern customs of the original 13 Joes, but I want my customs to maintain that classic vibe that represents the original figure/character. Here is my modern Sgt. Flash, the Joes original laser trooper!

I liked the idea of using a dark visor as it seems it would better protect his eyes from the bright “flash” of his laser rifle. His sidearm is a Marauder Gun Runners Glock.

Here is my custom modern Flash and Grand Slam next to each other:

My inspiration for the head I used on my Flash custom comes from the picture of Flash peeling potatoes, which was in GI Joe issue #1, page 43.

Fantastic!
I always liked Flash and he's been among my favorites as a kid.
