Retalliation Kamakura and Snake Eyes fixes

[nighthawk]

I really like how they did Kamakura again, but I just couldn't get past his webgear. I really like it, but just not on Kamakura. The other thing is they used that Resolute Storm Shadow backpack and it to me is one of the worse designed backpacks in terms of the look after putting it on the figure.

Well, I don't have much ninja gear and I don't have an extra Renegades Storm Shadow black belt to use. :(

So, just using scraps at home, I came up with this:

For Snake Eyes, I like the Wave 1 Retalliation one, but wish he had more gear. I really like the head and it reminds me of my favourite Snake Eyes, which is the V2 1985 one. I found the 25th 5 pack one was too cartoony and didn't have as good articulation so I slapped some gear on this one to be my updated V2 SE. I may cut up the wrist of the 5 pack one so he has the darts on his wrist though at a later time, but for now, he's just left like this. Don't have any individual pics, but here he is with Kamakura and Nunchuk.

Tht looks a lot more appropriate

Those look very nice. Did you paint the visor black on SE? I like it black much better.

[nighthawk]

Thanks. The visor came like that. Didn't do any painting.

Ah, I see. That's the single pack version? I have the ninja three-pack one and it's silver.

Yep, it's the single pack one. :)

This is what I did with mine with a ROC Flash head and different vest.

Thanks for the idea!

Personally, I didn't like either the lack of good accessories, or the ones the figures came with.

I'm going to do the same right now!

I painted the neck black along with ren. SS extra belt. I use him as a ninja viper.

Colt blue what did you use to fill in the belt slot?

Colt blue what did you use to fill in the belt slot?

A belt I had off of a SE figure that was loose in my parts bin.

[nighthawk]

Now I just have to go through my fodder to see if I still have my SE belt. Thanks for showing us yours.

Kamakura is ok but the harness on that SE just doesn't suit him well
