#999 - Low Light
I never had the original Lowlight figure back in the day. Truth be told, I did not have very many 1986 figures, I was already growing out of Joes that year. Still, I remember Lowlight from the Sunbow cartoon, especially the episode where he has nightmares. Also, Lowlight had a small role in one of the only issues of the Marvel comic that I had, #55. In that issue, a small team of Joes storm a Terrordrome to rescue Snake Eyes. Lowlight expertly snipes several Cobra troopers so the Joes can use their uniforms to infiltrate the base. The PoC/50th Lowlight figure is solid and still holds up as an example of great sculpting, accessories and articulation. That said, I am remaking my customs collection to resemble their vintage versions as much as possible. The PoC figure's shoulder and knee pads no longer worked, so I swapped out some parts and built a new figure. Head, vest, weapon, upper legs: 50th Lowlight Torso, arms: PoC Steel Brigade Lower legs: Retaliation Firefly Backpack: RoC Elite Viper

Love the changes, he looks like he can actually shoulder his rifle with those forearms.

The arms and lower legs make a HUGE difference! It's amazing how much a couple of small changes can make a figure go from good to great! Great job, man!

Another great custom!
The problem with Hasbro's Low Light, to me, is that the bulk of his arms limits the cool articulation. You've corrected this by changing out those parts. Great job! Jason |
