Marvel M60 for the Sarge, he needed something bigger

 

Sigma Six Cobra Commander Air Chariot of CoCo

 

Marvel Legends Infinity War Steve Rogers head on Tiger force Duke. I'm a weirdo who may like a redeco of a figure, but it can't be the same character, so Tiger force Duke is now Tiger Steve.

 

Brown pants SnakeEyes body, Articulated Icons arms, Marvel Legends Winter Soldier head, Grid Iron Studios gear is mixed together to make Billy, son of Cobra Commander, apprentice to Storm Shadow. Just need to cover his eye for the full look.

Took me four figures to make my ideal version of Snake Eyes, but it was worth it since he's by far my favorite GI Joe character.

Silver visor head from the 00 Snake Eyes, black body from the 02 Snake Eyes, Timber from 30 2-pack, and grey straps from 52 2-pack.

Just a little modding here. Swapped out the Torpedo rebreather packs for the new Mark2Design classic Eel backpack that just came in today. I also added a couple of Mark2Toys, Action Force, and Gridiron guns. I'm either going to order more Mark2Toys sets when i have the chance and outfit them all with Soviet Block guns, or, give them the new APS & BR18 rifles when Anthanatos makes them available.

Great to have this thread back. This is a Breaker upper torso, Outback #63 legs, Valaverse Duster vest, leg piece and weapon. I forgot the head, its a recent line, but I repainted the head a little bit to make it less toy.

One two, mic check.... Good to be back! In other news.......  At Power-Con the guy who is doing the Almighty Legends had customized a Classified series A-Team. He told me that the Ultimate Mr T heads fit on the Roadblock body with no mods and the MCU She Hulk sneakers do as well. While he has some great painting skills, I don't so I have been looking for accessories and soft goods to cheat my way to a good kitbash. Has anyone tried t put Blue marvels vest on the Roadblock body yet? There appears to be some options from China as well.

Would anyone who has any Crimson Guard figures be able to show off some possible Fred headswaps? I don't have any yet and I'm hoping to see what fits the peg/what works so I can plan accordingly.

Lets see, a Lightning Collection head. The hole size for the ball joint is a bit big, so it will need to be filled. Scale wise I think it works in this case for this particular head and body.

Another LC

Marvel Legends Captain America. Same thing with LC as it's a bit wobbly without something to fill in the space

MCU Captain America Head. Fits a little bit better, still a little wiggle. Scale wise I think it works.

New Commander Rogers Head. The most wobble so far, and it makes it look like his been taking too much testosterone replacements with that big ole noggin

Wow, thank you so much! That certainly helps. I read somewhere that the John Walker MCU head might be a good choice, and judging from your comparisons it might be a good size/fit. Thanks again 🙂
