Mace
I took some creative liberties. I moved his launcher to his back pack. The head/launcher thing is not very practical and doesn't even look cool. I also gave him boots for better traction since he is firing rockets.

Yay Mace! You don't see too many customs of this guy around, but I always kinda like him because... for some reason. He was one of the last o-ring Joes I ever got.
I agree the helmet rocket thing is stupid. My thought was (based on the card art) that it was supposed to rest on his shoulder and the helmet just had the targeting system, but back in the 90's they couldn't figure out how to get it attached to the figures shoulder. Then somebody thought it would be good to attach it to the helmet and that's where it all went wrong. Anyway, I don't use the helmet or rocket launcher at all with my modern Mace (although I have the vintage pieces and it does fit pretty well on the Marauders head I used). It gives him more of a plain-clothes look since he is supposed to be undercover. Yours will have to keep the helmet on to cover up that Tatum head. JK, nice work again and I'm glad you're still giving these 90's guys some love.

Great job. I agree the whole missile launcher thing on his head made no sense. I made an LBC version of Mace(Night Force style) using the Winter Jacket POC Snake Eyes body, the 25th Anniversary Steeler webgear, and the Renegades Duke head. Yours looks way better than mine.

Great Job on him. I remember getting Mace back in the day and thinking damn this poor dude would be dead on his first mission. How Hasbro's helmet ever get passed the design stage is beyond me.
