After making Blades, I felt like making another Action Force character.

The comic pack Flint head from a few years ago seemed completely unnecessary. The '85 Flint head was perfect and there was no reason for Hasbro to try to improve on it. The new head wasn't bad, it just didn't look like Flint. After removing the near-mullet hair from the back of the head, it does make for a pretty good Skip figure.

The Mainframe chest is fairly iconic, but I was able to disguise it a bit by sculpting on pouches and painting it in a camouflage pattern.

Parts:
Head: Comic Pack Flint (modified)
Chest: Mainframe (modified)
Arms: Comic Pack Cobra Commander (modified)
Waist: '85 Dusty (modified)
Legs: '84 Recondo

You really made that head a 1000 times more respectable. Something has been bugging me about it from day one but I could never put my finger on it. Between the reapinting of the eyes and the hair he looks a ton better. He's got a lot more character than any of hte Z Force figure stoo.
