Here's a new one. 25th Mutt! Mutt was one of the figures I had as a kid and was a favorite. Not sure why but there was something about him that I liked. So this version is an homage to the ARAH v.1 figure. I was trying to figure out a way to do the brown vest when I found the Gung-ho vest in my accessories bag. I think the removable vest fits with the 25th style. The DTC arms were what inspired the custom and the green sleeves was a near perfect match to the paint color I used for the rest of the figure. I just gave the sleeves a light coat to help everything blend better. The green without the vest was a bit much so I painted the tiger stripes on the legs to break it up a bit. And I think the tiger "camo" suits the character given his jungle training listed on the v.1 filecard. And I painted the moustache instead of sculpting it this time to see how it came out. I'm not completely happy with it but it will do until Hasbro does their inevitable version.

Head, arms: DTC Mutt
Body: 25th Duke
Mac-10: Marauder Inc.
Junkyard and nightstick: DTC Mutt



And a quick group shot of the 25th style Joes I've done so far: Rock 'n' Roll, Duke, Dial-tone and Mutt & Junkyard

I like him a lot. I don't agree with you on the mustache, I think it's fine. I would maybe agree with you if I saw him from the side. Your camo pattern makes sense when you explain it, but it feels like there's a few camo stripes missing.

Your group shot is awesome, you have done some nice work. Rock 'n' Roll is my favourite.

I like Mutt the best, with Rock and Roll being a close second.
Does he have a helmet with goggles?

The eyebrows look a little short but otherwise awesome job! I would buy on in retail no probs!

I'd buy that if I bought 25ths, really nice work.

Thanks guys! I did notice after shooting the pics that I need to touch up the eyebrows and moustache a bit.

And does anybody else notice the resemblance of the DTC Mutt head to Chad and Matthew? For some reason I get that "wonder twins" vibe looking at it.



He will as soon as I can get my hands on another Humvee Rollbar helmet.

mutt does look great.I like the ns arms mixed with 25th torsos since they are alittle bigger but you have to modify them too...

My only suggestion would be to have the stripes over the entirety of his pants, not just on the thighs. Beyond that, this is pretty damn cool. Totally says 'Mutt' to me.

I thought about doing the stripes all the way down the legs but they are such a pain to paint on the thighs. I didn't want to try painting them cleanly on the calves as well. Its not what I had intended but I'm happy with it.

Good idea, those tigerstripes! I agree with Adrien, all over his pants would be cool.
