As you might be able to guess, I used a Tiger Force Flint to make the good version! Though, this went south a little, after I had taken the legs off to repaint, I noticed that they were actually molded in brown, and painted green. I though, Awesome! Strip the paint and make it easier! Yeah, after using finger nail polish remover to strip paint off of several Sideshow 12" heads, I found the results were not as favorable for the plastic used on Joe thighs. They melted after about 60 seconds of acetone bath. So, here goes...
TF Flint torso, arms, head and web gear. Wave 1 Flint Legs and pistol. Shotgun from a BBI accessory set. I used the TF versions web gear as it was green with gold buckles like the original figures was, and painted the belts brown to match the original. Easy quick custom, that should have been easier and quicker! |

Great job! I definitely want to do this, too, although they'll probably release another Flint in black with the better arms. I also want to use TF Flint's arms to make a better RocknRoll, but I'm not sure which hands to use.
