Been pondering commissioning a modern era Lightfoot. I have the v1 and his accessories, and an Agent Mouse for the head. Haven't tried fitting the vintage helmet on Agent Mouse's head yet, but if that fits, great.
Curious about the body/buck you'd go with for Lightfoot to get a fairly close representation of the v1 figure. The Airtight v3 buck seems like a good starting point since he's yellow, but would you still go that route given what MTF has available these days?

I think you mean Airtight edge. If it is, that’s the choice I would make.

I went with Blowtorch top and ROC Doc bottom for mine:

I used a recipe very similar to Nighthawk’s but if I had it to do over again, I would use the MTF figure. Airtight is probably your most expensive option, but maybe that’s not a concern for you. The vintage helmets fits on a Blowtorch head too, not sure about Mouse.

I went with a ME version using a ROC Flash body, a 50th Blowtorch vest and v1's helmet. But mine's the Night Force version.

The Marauders one looks really nice and maybe the best option.

Heat viper might be a cheaper option.
I used 25th viper torso/arms/vest moded, blowtorch gloves, heat viper legs, marauder head and vintage accessories.

IMO either way works really well. I like each of the customs posted in here they all look good. Personally I did my Lightfoot back in 2014 and I don't think marauder had officially released the MTF yet or at least I didnt have them available so I used what was and I think it turned out well.

Here's mine, if you care. He used the Airtight body.
