 Post subject: 25th Clutch ('cause I just couldn't hit the brakes)

As I said in my last 25th custom thread (think that was Zap), I'm going to try and stick to characters that are likely further out on Hasbro's radar (since they announced Breaker and Doc pretty much right after I finished mine and they just announced Grunt).

I'd mentioned that Clutch might be a safe option, and when I got my Breaker comic figure I decided to grab two...one to update my Breaker custom and one to try the Joes' resident grease monkey.

Here's how he turned out:

Sans helmet and with the pistol drawn from that shoulder holster rig:

And with his little pliers pulled out of the holster on his hip (didn't see Clutch as a two-gun type, so I utilized it as a big pocket):

And here he is with the rest of my Original 10 (thinking Steeler's next on my list):

What do you think?

Absolutely perfect. Looks like Hasbro rolled it out themselves!

I want to make one just like this! Is that Duke's arms and legs with a Snake-Eyes torso? Where can I get that head and holster rig? That's exactly how I thought Clutch should look, excellent work.

Looks great, Spinny!

I just went ahead and "Green-Stuffed" the thigh where the holster used to be on mine - it didn't turn out too bad. But I like your idea of making it an extra pouch.

Very cool -- only 3 more to go! :P

I like it. But since I doubt I could pull it off, I really hope you're wrong in thinking Clutch is last on Hasbro's list. ;)

Where'd you get the webbing stuff? It looks great.

Really glad you guys dig this one. I put a lot of work into it...well...that's not entirely true.

Don't sell yourself short, dasaffe. The figure itself was almost criminally easy. It's just a comic 2-pack (25th of course) Breaker with a modded comic 3-pack (ARAH) Clutch head. The only thing I really did to the body was paint all the brown on it (which, for me, is pretty hard work since I prefer to just disassemble and spray paint figures...the multiple coats involved in detail work like this are tedious for me).

The helmet is the one that came with the Breaker (had to boil and shape it a little bit to get it to fit this head right).

The hard part was the harness, and even that was mostly done already since I just swiped it off my Microman Clutch. It started out as a Dusty (GvC) harness that I cut and re-glued into its current formation. Then I grafted on a hollowed out BBI holster (the little narrow gun that came with comic 2-pack Destro fit perfectly). Then I painted the whole thing flat camo black.

The belt was cut off an Endor Rebel Trooper, shaved to fit and also painted black.

Not sure where the little pliers came from.

Yeah...although I'm probably going to just wait for Hasbro's Rock'n'Roll (might tweak the arms and the bandolier on that, but not too much more) and Grand Slam. I'll also probably replace my Grunt with a modified version of theirs once it comes out. The next one I really want to do is Steeler. No idea how I'm going to go about it yet, though.

Thoughts, anyone?

I think the pliers are from a CORPS set, no?

Man, you've got me thinking, Spin. If I see two of those Breaker packs I just might score a second one.

Grumble, grumble, pockets emptying... grumble... 25th too awesome...
