25th Zap & Muskrat

These are pretty much LBC.

Chopped up the vest and painted it a little. Then Modified the head.

Painted the hair and the machete. Otherwise pretty much all LBC.

So whats your thoughts?

Uhm, not sure how to tell you this but those arms on Muskrat are on backwards. Hasbro has been effing up the assembly of those upper arms since the beginning.

The fleshtones not matching on Muskrat is a bit distracting but for an LBC the parts work great.

They look good to me Sharky...I like the Zap. Gotta start pulling parts together to make one myself.

These are both really good, though with Muskrat, you REALLY may want to look into using the Torch version of those arms, cuz Gung Ho for some reason came out a very strange color.

Unless that's the look you're going for, but the vast difference in skin tones from the face to the arms throws me a bit

Zap kicks ass though, and using that Clutch vest for Musky is an awesome idea

Except for the other comments I like em and you did state that they were LBC's.

I have a torch figure coming, when he arrives I will be switching out the arms on Muskrat.

I am debating using a different head for him too. Maybe Flash?

As for his wake board, I found it silly when the first Muskrat came out and I am sticking with that and leaving the wake board off this Muskrat..

Zap came together pretty well. I am not yet 100% convinced of the FLAK vest, but for now it will due till I think of something else.

I think the flak vest could work very well for a Zap redux kind of thing, but I'd like to see the silver on those arms and legs go.

In fact, I'd suggest using a different base body entirely...maybe the Duke that came in the Red Star 2-pack? I think his base color would be a better match for the vest.

I agree about the arm swap on Musky and think you might be on to something with the Flash head.

Good starts on both.
