A little Eel/Torpedo mod for holding their flippers when not in use.  Found on Reddit, pictures are mine.

Basically, double-wrap a ponytail elastic around their waist, attach small ring hoops to those, and attach lobster clasps to those.  I got all these parts in the arts and crafts section of walmart (aside from the ponytail ties which were also at walmart).

I like that solution Vicious! It would be great to find a miniature D ring that size.

Recent Avengers (60th?) Black Widow Legends head on Cover Girl, the head socket is a touch too large but it's not that bad even without a filler:

I don't have a pic, and not sure it's worth it, but I swapped Grunt and Falcon from the neck up. Grunt looks like a good average face for Falcon, while that weird Charlie McCarthy face can go to a character I have far less interest in. It's also a bit more covered by the helmet.

Got the Valaverse female Riot trooper with the accessory kit that's for Pandora. Added a netflix Electra head and made her a trooper field commader or some such. Just gotta figure out a way to get a tiny cobra symbol on her vest.

@snake-eyes-8181 I was going to say those missiles are way too big but it looks like you're going for a perspective shot.  If so, excellent work!

@maczero They are a bit to big but it doesn't bother me to much. It adds a bit to my Destro display so I like it. I think the mezco destro comes with something similar

The jean vest I ordered from ebay arrived yesterday and it looks like its going to work, but I can't get Roadblocks vest off. Has anyone found a way to remove roadblock V1's vest without cutting it off?

heat him up and pop off the arms. you will still need to work the vest up but it be easier with heating it up

Has anyone swapped either of Snow Job's heads over to a Snow Serpent body? Keen to see how they'd look.
