I really liked the Snow Job 12". I was a big time 12" collector in the 90's and snow job here has given me the fever again. I will say that the new line needs something so I added a coat, rope, grenades, flashlight, binoculars, and a M-4 carbine (21st cent). just stuff from my old boxed up 12" accessories and joes.
I know everyone thinks these are lacking but with a little effort i think they can be made in to something worth while. Torpedo has been castrated and I dont think that can be fixed Snow Jobs head looks great I think. Working on Snake eyes now. 1st thing I changed were the boots. WTF are those frikking doc martin looking things. gave him an MP-5 (he doesnt like to hold the uzi too well). I am going to get some elastic and redo the strap that holds the oversized sword and grenades I think.

Looks nice, I never could get into 12" figures for some reason. Probably some deep down buried Barbie horror story from my past....

just remember without the 12 there never would have been 3 3/4
I had my dads to play with when I was a kid so never had the hang up. Although my sisters Ken got bitch slapped around and the butt of a rifle planted on his head many times.

picked up Beachead. I didn't care for his belt, pistol, trousers, boots or the warped AK-47. So I changed the belt and added a 21st century (Stuff from a box of parts) pistol w/silencer/holster on the right leg and 3 puches for C-4 on the left leg. I trimmed the excess length from the vest straps and added a flashlight and pouch to the front. He will get a new weapon when my order arrives. Right now he's packing a M-16A2. Added some tiger stripe camo pantsand smaller boots. This is by no means a custom but a revamp maybe.

This wave is JUST starting to hit- it includes Snow Job, Grunt, and a Cobra Eel. I agree, though- a lot of these figures seem a bit lacking on their own, but with a few added extras, they can be pretty darn cool. Beachhead has been my favorite of the line so far- I've just picked up him, and the Cobra Soldier, but I'll probably end up picking up at least one or two more. Has anyone tried to make the new 12-inch Destro or Eel look more like their classic 3 3/4-inch versions?

Nice job on customizing Snow Job. I made a custom version years ago using a Lanard bearded head. I plan on combining the two versions together soon.
