I cheated by using a 25th Wraith armor but I found myself lacking in find a torso and arm combination that could match the armor I needed. I chose to mount it in place with a screw rather than glue as I wanted to leave the option open to open the torso should the o-ring ever break. However, the back of the torso is glued to the waist with a tiny drop of glue to prevent movement.
I had planned to use a 25th Eel helmet but found them too small to fit on ARAH heads and scrapped it. I was also unable to find a vintage Eel head or I may have devised a way to swap heads easily. Oh well, most people are probably more familiar with the status bar face anyway.
The armor was cut in the back to allow access to the hole. I plan to find a brown backpack eventually.
I should note that these boots are probably more sprite-accurate than any used for my 25th customs.
With the 25th version made prior-
