Here's a quick fix I did to the Stinger Driver allowing him to sit properly and fit in the driver seat.



And my Firefly fix. Took off the second strap so he's not being choked, cut off the pouches and glued them to his waist. Gave him a Marauder P90 w/ TR1ER Custom Sling and fixed his crotch. I thought about adjusting the height as some people did but I like that he's a tall guy. Makes him more imposing I think.



Finally my latest 25th custom figure, Dial-tone. Wanted to do this one for a while but was waiting on finding the right parts. I'm not completely happy with him (his lower lip sticks out too much) but I like it. I tried to find a gun that matched the v.1 ARAH figs rifle and the closest I had was the Marauder pulse rifle. The backpack is what really makes it I think and drilling into his ear to mount the mic was something I debated but in the end I think it works.

Parts:
Head, arms, legs: 25th Stalker (green version, don't freak out)
Torso, waist: 25th Buzzer
Webgear: 25th Stalker
Backpack, mic: "new sculpt" Televiper
Rifle: Marauder Inc





EDIT:

Here's a new version of the mic for Dial-tone. I swapped out the Televiper mic for part of a SW Obi-wan pilot headset. I think it works much better. Still not the v.1 backpack look I wanted but close enough.

Where you can't see it going into his ear, it looks good. Where you can, combined with the eyes in that pic just makes him look like "It...hurts...so...bad..." Pretty awesome all around though.

I've been wanting to do a Dial Tone custom, now I've got some ideas. The mic piece in the ear is a little disturbing due to its size. I like the rest of the figure though. As for the Stinger driver my only suggestion is to smooth out the area you cut away, just looks too jagged in the pic.

Yeah I need to trim down the mic a bit but I wanted to see how the idea worked before chopping it up. As for the Stinger Driver, the rough edges didn't show until I took the pictures. He's all nice and smooth down there now.

I think that Tele Viper head peice is a tad big on Dial Tones head...maybe somthing like a Marauder Tanker Mic would be a bit slimmer and not looks so clunky.

Dial tone looks pretty good chris, nice to see someone do him.Firefly's fix is good too.I don't use vehicles so I won't need to fix crotches but if it's smooth then it a ok,

Thanks guys!

nova - that's a great idea on the Marauder mic! And I just got an order in from them too dangit! Oh well, I need some more stuff so I'll put that on my list. Thanks for the suggestion!

Neat.

I hope Hasbro notices how easy it is for them to mix-and-match a Dial Tone together. I think this figure would scream Dial Tone if you used the original backpack (or a closer facsimile).

nice job my man. they all look great.
