G.I.Eddies c.c.entry #3 - Scrap Iron

[G.I.Eddie]

i know he's been done, but seeing the others made me want to do one too...so, with a few borrowed ideas, here is my Scrap Iron

like my other customs, i try as much i can, with small liberties here and there, to keep them as close to the original as i can...

I absolutely love it. Is that one of the star wars helmets? I really cant wait for Hasbro to make this figure. I think he is a great cobra figure and was great in the cartoon and comic.

thanks guys...
i hope Hasbro uses a better vest than the FF vest shown in the arctic pack though...

hector, it is in fact a SW helmet, modded a bit...i gently cut the Cobra emblem off the Viper belt and added it to the front of the hemet, cut off the chin strap, and trimmed down some of the middle part of the helmet....oh, i also doubled up on the visor part to be more like the classic SI...

my favorite part about this fig was actually an aftethough...the red trim on his crotch...it's from Red Stars harness...

Eddie, This is freaking ingenious! Totally impressed. Hopefully Hasbro's comes this close. Excellent.
