My contest entry for the “Kickin’ it Old School!” category, and would be my main entry for the entire contest.

I always loved the Ice Storm figure, but since I am still determined NOT to collect the 25th line, I never got one.

This contest just gave me the chance to make an ARAH version of one of my favorite 25th figures.

Turned out to be one of my most favorite among my personal customs collection.

The photo doesn't quite show the indentions i made for the bonnet. I molded putty over a ARAH Fred head, and used Low-Light v1's bonnet to put designs on the molded head.

Parts:
Head: Fred / Armored Cobra Commander with modded bonnet
rest of figure: Blizzard with modded neck sleeve.

gun: not sure where from, but its the closest gun I have that is similar to 25th Ice Storm's rifle.

Hope you guys like it.

10.31.11 - added some (hopefully) clearer shots... no updates on custom done.

Hm, may I suggest to take some better (sharper) pics? He seems allright, but the pic is a bit blurry. This probably doesn't do justice to the effort you put into it.....
If you don't have a better camera, try borrowing one from family/friends.

I agree with Tim, it looks like a superb effort but better pics are needed.

I agree, but blurriness aside, it looks like a very faithful representation it even has the white trim on the shoulders, great detail there.

Thats wild - he actually looks cooler to me in O-ring than the regular release and I'm purely a 25th guy. Comes off as more unique somehow. Nice job.

Looks good, Dataframe.
If you're still curious about the gun, it's from a 2004 Cobra Viper.
