I've been meaning to do this for a while. I had an extra Cobra Firefly who's head went on to become Beach Head. I also had an extra Lockdown who's body went on to become a Viper.
So I'm taking Lockdown's spare head and the spare Cobra Firefly body and I'm going to make Blowtorch. WIP pic: And reference pic:

Update!
After many many revisions to my original idea of making Blowtorch, I finally got to painting. This one has been quite difficult for me mainly because I didn't want the figure to be just red and yellow like the original one was. So I decided to keep the leg and arm guards silver. That will also help prevent friction on the paint when the gauntlets are put on. So far I painted the mask, neck, left shoulder, hair and eyebrows, and the leg and arm guard detailing. I also shaved off the Cobra emblems on the shoulders and belt buckle which turned out to be a royal pain. Next I'll be painting the other shoulder, upping the silver on the chest, and paint the pocket vest red on the chest. The next major tackling after that will be the camo pants. I plan on keeping the design but with red and yellow instead of that black and gray. After that it will just be mainly detailing the accessories. And a side note, I'm glad I did the face mask the way it was because my wife said if it was the other way, I'd be making Iron Man. *WHEW* Oh and another note, painting with yellow? PAIN!

Man those customs are beyond cool in my opinion. I showed my son and he's preping some of his doubles as we speak, (now I got to run to Fred's dept store to pick up those firefly figures I say so my son can mod him some sweet customs.

The watergun that came with Toxic zartan would make a nice flamethrower.Maybe i need to stop second guessing myself and just make the jump into customs.I've had this one fig. i have been staring at for months...fear of messing him up has stopped me form touching him.
