So I was debating buying the Armored Panther with Thunderblast with the intention of changing out the arms (The mold lines of Res. Duke's short sleeves bother me to no end) I grabbed my vintage Thunder and started to notice just how different the two figures looked (other little things really that most people could overlook like the collar and boots) Well I decided then that I could make one closer to the vintage version without ever buying the Armored Panther.
Here's what I came up with (I'm still deciding how to make the antenna, I may go with the idea I saw another Tanker do with firefly phones on the side of the helmet)
Helmet - Flash (Painted Visor)
Head - Gen Hawk (Painted Hair)
Arms - Gen Hawk
Hands - Wild Weasel
Torso - Python Officer (Painted Shirt)
Vest - Resolute Duke
Legs - Movie Snake Eyes V1 (Painted Boots)
I decided to go with the Res. Duke Vest because it's a darker green than the Thunderblast one and matches the vintage color a little closer.
The head still really looks like Hawk to me, but I plan on keeping the helmet on him anyway and with the helmet, he really looks like vintage Thunder to me.
