Anyone else do this?
You have a factory made figure, but its one or two steps away from being that perfect representation of who you think a character should be? I'm currently bashing together a perfect figure of Wolverine in stripe costume.

Done that with a lot of figures, especially recently i've noticed. A couple examples would be having one of my custom Shockwaves using an FSS Wide Scope figure replacing only the head with a 25th Anniversary Battle Armored CC head or a Para-Viper head. Another one I replaced the POC Jungle Viper head with the 50th Night Viper's so that he'd have normal eyes instead of needing an exorcist...lol!

yeah... most figures I get I feel the need to make more like how I want them to be... doesn't mean the figure is bad or not someone else's perfect version as-is, but I want them to be just right how I envision them...

I've done that with a few figures.
DG Trooper with new helmet, webgear, and weapons. Articulated Retaliation Nightfox My version of a Viper. Painted in the details on Renegades Ripcord to look less cartoony. New head on Resolute Scarlett. Gave her Retaliation Zartan's crossbow and quiver (not pictured). Changed the legs on POC Snakes Eyes for a less cluttered look. Altered AOCI Wet-Suit like a lot of people. Put extra POC SE head on ROC Rescue Mission SE for ninja look.
