I decided to bring my SEALs into the modern era. Some were simple head swaps, others were full on customs.
Wet Down
Who? You know, the guy from the JvC line that looks EXACTLY like Torpedo v1. I gave my o-ring version a head swap with a green shirt, so I did the same for his ME version.
Head: Flash
Body: Wet Suit
Tracker
"What about his visor?" You're asking, it his most recognizable feature along with his yellow sweat pants, not sure if I want to use the visor from his o-ring counter part or give him some goggles from a Red Fang ninja or something along those lines. The SS lowerlegs are his wrappings, but look enough like Tracker's socks, so I thought that worked and PPSS's feet looked like athletic shoes, so they work. I'm not too crazy about how his ankles look though, but I can live with it. I just painted JOE on his shirt because to add the number would do that split thing between the upper and lower torso and I think that looks like crap like Bazooka and Sgt. Slaughter.
Head: Blow Torch
Arms: Dr.Mindbender
Torso: 25th Green Shirt
Upper Legs: 25th Rock & Roll
Lower Legs: 25th Storm Shadow
Feet: Paris Pursuit Storm Shadow
Depth Charge
The AOCI Wet Suit had the perfect head with the blonde eyebrows, so I thought it'd look great for Depth Charge. I used the EEL body instead of a Torpedo because the EELs have the silver cuffs at the wrist like v1 Depth Charge.
Head: Wet Suit
Body: 25th EEL
Deep Six
Deep Six is a SEAL to me, no just a diver, so to differentiate him from the others, I simply used the RoC Deep Six body which has a cool camo pattern on it. I had to drill out the head socket and cut the neck ball down a bit to keep from having the giraffe neck look. The head still works with his dive suit too.
Head: 25th Deep Six (mod to fit)
Body: RoC Deep Six
Dial Tone
I didn't feel like shelling out $100 for a Club Dial Tone, so I made my own, using a torso I thought was better than what the Club used. I'm not too crazy about the Wild Bill arms, so I may swap those, but they were the best I had at the time. I wanted bigger knee pads like what the Club had, but couldn't get any to fit right.
Head:Mission Brazil Dial Tone
Torso: Mainframe
Arms: Wild Bill
Legs: Monkey Wrench
Cover Girl
I may have submitted her before, I think it's a good parts combo, just wish my paint skills were better
Hair: RoC Cover Girl
Head: Lady Dial Tone
Torso: 25th Lady Jaye
Arms:Legacy Sandstorm Han Solo
Legs:Lady DialTone
Jacket: Cover Girl v2
Law & Order
I was not happy with the RoC L&O, as it was just basically Dusty with a dog, so I made my own. I was going to go with his original colours, but decided to go with a more military look, that was if Hasbro ever made a better one, which they have now, I can repurpose this guy. This is the first custom 25th style I ever did with an arm swap. I got that German Sheppard without a figure for comparison, so that's why he's so huge. Prolly not gonna use him.
Head:25th v2 Hawk
Torso: 25th Green Shirt
Arms: RoC Law
Legs: 25th v2 Hawk
Black Out
Like a lot of folks, I use Air Raid from the RoC Sky Seeper as Barrel Roll. And you can't have Barrel Roll without Black Out. Yeah, I'm looking at parts to make Bombstrike. I thought it was appropriate to use Duke's head since that what Air Raid uses, makes the "brother" thing work. The neck of the Strato-Viper is really short, so I cut it off, drilled a hole in its placeand cut the end off a RoC spring loaded missile launcher missile, works perfectly.
Head: Resolute Duke
Torso/arms: DOCI Strato-Viper
Upper legs: 25th Destro
Lower Legs: 25th Zartan
Double Tap - Urban Combat Specialist
Can't let a perfectly good female figure go to waste. I used the Cover Girl hair and the Lady Dial Tone head for Cover Girl above, so I had a head without hair and hair without a head, put two and two together and with her urban camo, added her to the Urban Assault team. While I had written up a joke bio on her having worked in the porn industry, "Double Tap" is a term used for firing two quick rounds from a gun, just so there's no misunderstanding about her code name
Hair:Lady Dial Tone
Rest: RoC Cover Girl
Flash-Bang - Urban Combat Specialist
I had an extra Rollbar in the fodder bin and liked his urban camo, so I gave him some new gear and a head and added him to my Urban Assault Team.
Head: PoC Zartan's second head
Rest: Rollbar
Vest: Firefly
Sahara - Desert Warfare
Another simple LBC having a good headless body and a bodyless head
Head: Red Star
Body: RoC Footlose
