seeing Hasbros half a$$ed Grunt got me thinkning about how easy it would be to make one that would look more classic Grunt accurate...namely his legs...the old one had two pouches on his sides, and not just lazy re-use of the SE legs like the upcoming release...so i made my own...i'll swap heads when i get the eventual single carded 25th Grunt...
...the first pic looks really glossy so i put the last one that is more representitive of the true finish.... Last edited by G.I.Eddie; 02-04-2008 at 07:08 PM.. |

That looks spot on, way better than the Hasbro one will be. The color you chose really makes him stand out from all the other green shirts.

Very nice! I feel it looks more true to the original than the one by Hasbro.
It's a shame about the 25th Grunt as I was really looking forward to that particular figure. |

oh man, that's gorgeous work!
I didn't really see a problem with Hasbro's TRU version before but I guess they fumbled badly in capturing the original spirit of Robert Graves... it takes a great custom to make it obvious sometimes. |

Looking at this custom makes me think this head sculpt looks better on grunt than flash. And I think the TRU Grunt head may actually look better on a flash body. SO I think i'll do the switcharoo when the TRU exclusive comes out.

Ditto! I'm not a fan of Flash's head.

The 25th Flash's head looks a lot more like the vintage Grunt (Zap, Grand Slam) than Flash. Maybe a head swap wouldn't be so bad. Of course I hate the Target Exclusive Grand Slam head too.
