'Round these here parts, this is what we call 'friggin' sweet!' I still don't like the giant cannon weapon for him, but that's Hasbro's fault not yours.

looks great. I don't know how tall he actually is but i think its the thin legs that make him feel tall.

Over all though he is a great tunnel rat

Thanks DH, AV and Dan.
I'll try to get some pix of him with some other 25th figures for ya Raps.

oh hell yes!

That figure is fantastic, very faithful AND a great use of Shipwreck's uniform. I don't even care if Hasbro does an Anniversary version or not but if they DO, they need to just rip off your exact recipe and send it to production! Man, I wouldn't change a thing (okay, I'll agree he's a bit too tall but the figure looks so cool that I didn't even notice till the replies brought it up).

I'm surprised they haven't even announced the figure yet (I've got $5 that he's revealed at Toy Fair) but maybe they were waiting for inspiration. Maybe T-Crow's version will be that serendipity... :shifty:

Damn man you beat me to tunnel rat. I have mine all pieced together just been to busy to paint him up, we got some of the same parts in common but a little different too. I gotta finish mine tonight.I made mine shorter but changed him since he was way too short. I used the shs mole man lower legs and that was too short so he got a little taller like yours.
Good job on yours he is very cool.

Tunnel Rat has always been one of my faves, and you did him justice big time. kudos to you.

Excellent job, TC. TR is one of my all-time faves (hence the screenname). I've been planning to make one of my own, but couldn't figure out what to use for legs. You've solved the mystery! Just add one of those hulking BBi backpacks, and he's ready to roll!

Looks good TC. It does look like there was a problem with the neck, but I do think you solved it with the cloth.

Hulk Hogan LOL - you just can't please him can you?
