I bought the Slaughter kit off ebay but wasn't totally happy with him. If we're being honest Sarge and the Rock never looked the same with their shirts off, so I filled in his chest with some milliput, swapped out the hands with 50th Outback, his legs with ROC Heavy Duty, sculpted some wrist bands, and painted him a lighter skin tone.
Thanks for looking! Last edited by packerbacker180; 03-22-2019 at 11:25 PM.. |

Thanks for looking! I get what you are saying about Sgt. Slaughter's size, and that may be true in real life, but in the "GIJoe Universe" (toys, comics, cartoons) Sgt. Slaughter was always portrayed as equal size or bigger than Roadblock. However, I like that even though you filled in some of the 6-pack, ripped look of the torso, you still kept the overall bulk. I, also, bought one of those ebay kits, a year or so ago. It's a great kit. My only issue with every Sgt. Slaughter custom, resin kit out there today (besides resin casts of the SDCC head sculpt) is that the hat looks too small and the brim droops. I think I've bought 3 different hat/head combos from different customs stores before I just settled on using an ARAH (vintage) Sgt. Slaughter head and Dremelling out the hat the fit on that ebay custom head. Sgt. Slaughter was one of my favorite action figures as a kid. I loved that he was a "real person" and I think he was my first mail-away GIJoe figure. So, I was one of the few kids I knew that had one. Jason |

I was talking more about build than size. I don't think abs were the six packs Slaughter had in the 80's. He was one of my favorite parts of the cartoon so I wanted to try and get him closer to that look. The hat is a little snug. I even sanded the inside some and it still doesn't fit too great.
Thanks for the thoughts. |

I missed this the first time but I really like this. Feels very true to the cartoon version with the colors that pop. Great job
