As a kid, I never had a chance to get Super Trooper. I only had Rapid Fire. However, never really liked his neon green colors. For my custom, he still has green armor, but it's more muted and I wasn't gonna give him bright orange knee pads and arm band, but managed to get a tiny bit of orange onto his knees and dry brushed some black over it to dull it some. The orange shoulder patch is just an homage to the vintage and wasn't too garish looking. Admittedly, I don't think anyone would recognize him immediately as Rapid Fire if I didn't say anything, but it works for me and it's a version of a neon colored Joe that I can put together with my others. I guess the next step is to make a Super Trooper somehow but the vintage ones still cost too much as I'd need his full set of chrome gear.

Nice, that's an improvement over the RAH version for sure.

Thanks. My next step is to figure out a recipe to make Super Trooper to display with him.

I was looking in the back of my custom Warthog APC and saw this figure in there and forgot who he was...LOL. Glad I found my thread here so I now remember who the custom was...LOL.
Guess I proved myself right when I wrote in the original post that you might not even know who he is if I didn't tell you.
