Parts Selection Help Needed

Got a tip to share? Have a question about the hobby? Need input on parts or weapons? Have great idea for a custom figure or vehicle? Too lazy to do it, or just want to share the idea with others? All that and more goes in here.

This is my absolute favorite custom I've done so far. Its a version of Rock 'n' Roll that I did using new sculpt parts and I absolutely LOVE it.

I want to recreate it in 25th form but need a little help with parts selection. Any ideas on which parts I should use to best match this look? I will of course use the Hollow Point head and accessories aren't an issue. I'm thinking Shipwreck arms and a Gung-ho vest but the torso and legs are leaving me stumped. I want him to have some bulk to him but not be too big. So Snake-eyes for a base is out of the question. Any ideas?

How about Firefly/Beach Head torso/waist and Roadblock legs?

hmm yeah the beach head vest might work well, or perhaps wait to see waht hte wild bill vest looks like. up close.

Roadblock torso and legs will give you the size you want. The torso won't look bad once you put the vest on him. It will look like he's wearing a tank top under his vest. Shipwreck's arms are definately the way to go to give him some added muscle.

That or wait for the Bazooka to come out to give him some added bulk, or the rumored R&R v2 thats supposed to be coming out one.

Thanks for the ideas guys. Definitely got me thinking. I really like the Beachhead/Firefly torso idea. It will match the ribbed sweater look of the shirt well I think. And with the vest on it gives him a little bulk without being too big (which is why I stayed away from Roadblock... that and I don't have a spare right now)

And I decided to use Duke legs. They match the height of my other RnR 25th custom and the look of the boots matches the new sculpt custom almost perfectly.

Got a few other added tweaks that I think will go well with this custom. Look for it soon and thanks again for the input.
