It has been awhile since I've posted anything. The All Star Event got a bit of a fire lit under me and I completed my BattleForce 2000 figures for that event. Firefly was the next custom on my "work bench" that was ready to go so he was lucky enough to be done for picture day when I took pictures of the BF 2000 customs.

Firefly Version 2.

A bit of a description with this figure;
When I got the Retaliation Firefly with the sled I thought there were elements that were really cool. I wasn't sure what to do with him though. Then as some time passed I started looking up pictures of his version 2 figure that came out in the early 90's. It seemed like it was a decent challenge to try and use that design as inspiration but also de-Ninja force it a bit. I decided that when Firefly goes on certain missions he gears up depending on what he thinks might be needed for that mission. When he goes deep behind enemy lines the grey camo saboteur look isn't enough protection and he suits up with tons of back up weaponry and also higher tech such as a drone and Sniper rifle to accomplish his mission. I gave him Lifeline's helmet to mimic the one the v.2 figure had and also gave him a marauder weapon that also was a slight throwback to the type the v.2 figure came with. After that I played around with the color and camo patterns and here we are.
Parts:
Head, Arms, Torso -Retaliation Firefly
Lower Legs -Retaliation Flint
Hands-Don't know some figure
Helmet-Lifeline
Gun-Marauder Gun-Runners
Bandoloier-Duke
Gun Clip satchel and Flashlight-Retaliation Night Viper
Drone-Retaliation Duke
Sniper Case and gun-Lowlight
Shoulder Holster-Rise of Cobra Hawk

Really great take on a pretty lackluster ARAH design. Nice update to the look.

Love all the gear, too!

Love the design - It actually makes me think of a special forces version of a rebel soldier from the Battle of Endor.

...but I'be been thinking about Star Wars a lot lately...

Way to legitimize the original figure's entire concept.

And bonus points for using parts from a Firefly figure that I otherwise hated.
