I worked on this one last night and today. Finally got it done. I had to make it cuz Dusty was my favorite as a kid, and I don't know what's taken Hasbro so long. and no, I don't want a 12" Dusty Doll.
The hat is from the VvV series. A cobra officer and duke were used as body parts and the sling is roadbloaks, but I adjusted it. It took me for ever to get the right color. After the photos I fixed some of the small inperfections. Next I will do a Blowtorch. |

Dusty was one of my favorites as a kid too. It's a shame Hasbro has not yet released one yet. Your custom is really sweet!

Very nice figure! I agree that Hasbro needs to pay attention to all these customs... If one fan with some paint and an idea can cobble together a custom figure then imagine what Hasbro could do with a full-scale production process!

That is a great custom. I doubt Hasbro would do as good of a job. They started out doing such a good job and then seems they are getting a bit lazy at times.
