wasnt diggin the baggy pants look on voltar.
didnt like it for lowlight either.
looked for tall black boots with black knee cap piece
and only came up with the 25th viper boots with the silver toe
so i swapped legs with an iron grenadier trooper. i wasnt sure at first.
but i think it's really growing on me.

I really like the look of that. Doesn't really make him any more ARAH accurate, but it suits the character nicely.

I thought if I ever end up with one that I'll give him a 25th Iron Grenadier's legs.

I thought the POC Beach Head legs were a weird choice for him, wasn't a fan of the cord plugging into his boot.

I like what you've done.

Very nice, but I agree with your idea about finding black boots.

The custom I'm working on uses the ice Destro legs.

nice would love to see pics of all these.

i didnt even realize the comic pack iron grenadier used the same legs. that will look awesome. even with the red accents. i was wondering how i could get some red on to the club voltar.

darklon is so colorful i feel like voltar could be spruced up too.

regarding arah accuracy i was never a fan of the original figure.
and i was rummaging through my old pile of broken vintage figs and i realized i had him. totally blew my mind.

There was also an IG with purple accents on the boots. Maybe the TRU 3-pack?

He's one of the last figures I remember owning.

it's a bluer purple than the warmer/redder purple of voltar.
but i think it would still look good.

I like it, but was thinking more along the lines of the thighs from one of the RIA armored movie guys so that the armor would match in style to the torso that they used. As for lower legs, can't really think of anything that stands out as being "perfect" for the moment.

If you're just looking for something to fit the Delta suit torso, the Reactive Armor HD legs work great.
