Here is my first custom of my favorite joe, Low-Light. Okay i Finally finished painting the gloves and the straps black. Makes a huge difference IMO.

Nice! Is the head a DTC Low-Light head? If so, how'd you get it on there? Dremel out a cavity?

Thanks. Yes, it is a DTC Low-Light head. The original has a huge melon. lol. I used a razor to shape the bottom of the neck and modified the torso a bit so it would come together.

Once again, nice! Maybe I'll have to try that, if I ever find a DTC Low-Light for a reasonable price.

I was able to get 1 from a member from these boards for a green stalker and i got 1 from ebay with 4 other DTC figs for like 6 bucks plus shipping.

TRU.com has DTC Low Light (http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2890521) for sale still. I just bought one last week. Send a big thanks to Hicks_Royel for pointing him out.
Also that is a sweet looking custom. Nice work.

Very nice. Lowlight's such a cool character... disapointed its not the Dino-Hunter version though [joking].
This was the only DTC figure I ever bought just because it was such an honest recreation of the original. One detail I'd like to see carried over from the DTC on the eventual 25th release [should the series last] would be the map tucked into the thigh strap.

Thanks guys. Im painting the straps and the gloves black so it looks more like the original. I really hope Hasbro realeases a 25th version, until then this one will have to do.
