Anyone else become a Shippy fan when you replaced his fist with a gun holding hand?
I put a FOV/bbi hand on him, at first I thought it wouldn't fit, but fortunately the arm plastic is soft, and squeezed in.
It actually made the wrist tighter, so its easier to pose him, although the hand plastic isn't as flexible as the 25th Joe hands. I used a glove that was a close match to his other hand. I'm not going to bother painting it as its just gonna chip with the guns and stufff going in and out.
Right now my favorite guns for him are MJ's G36C and sawed off shotgun. MJ's 45 fits perfectly into his leg holster. I wish more figs had that one, rather than Duke's monstrosity.
I've always been a fan of Shippy...LOL... 
Actually, I like his fist. I think it fits his character. Granted it limits playability at times, so I can see why replacing the hand would improve him in some eyes.
