so this is the original 13 group i have going so far...i just finished my Steeler today...i tried to put a modern spin on his binocular things he used to have...does anyone have a classic Steeler that can fill me in on what exactly are the black things on his legs...the pics on Yojoe are all i have to go on...
i've been trying to make them all look as much like their 82' counterparts as possible...silver straps for Hawk, silver pocket and black hair/beard for Breaker...i have a black wave 5 SE, but i can't bring myself to open him to add to the group...anyway, i can't wait till i get my Rock & Roll from BBTS some time next week... BTW, i swear Grunt is not that glossy...what is his freak'n deal! Last edited by G.I.Eddie; 02-10-2008 at 02:47 AM.. |

Wow...That Steeler is damn near perfect. I can't believe how well it went together. So let me name the parts...
Shipwreck torso? Trooper Arms? Trooper leg Buzzer leg Duke Lower legs. No clue on the head. Why did you use 2 different hands? And what Straps did you use for the gun across the chest? I assume some Elite forces fodder, but could be wrong. It look great! |

It look great! the head is Ace...i thought it would be cool to use a mostly still unrecognizeable head...glad you like him...i've said this before, i like making the customs more than actual figs from Hasbro |

I had the original Steeler figure as a kid and if my memory serves me correctly, he had the same pants as the other original '82 Joes had (minus the Flash/GS pants, Scarlett's and the Cobras). They're just the pocket pouches or holsters. I also never noticed this until looking on YOeJoe, but I think Cobra Commander may have used Steeler's arms, too (or vice-versa).

You don't know how badly I've been wanting a 25th Steeler. He looks fantastic. I don't know about the binoculors on the helmet, but the rest is great. I'm looking forward to Zap, Clutch and Short Fuse to join the team as well.
