Okay so here is my version of Sandstorm. I just swaped the POC Zartan arms. They were way better for holding stuff.

Nice. What method did you use to crack the torso to get the arms swapped?

With a pair of vice grips and a sock around the figure. i actully went throught two sandstorm bodies to do thisso I'm going to go buy a vice fride so i can have more control over the cracking process.

That looks good! I dig it.
I've had sooooo much trouble cracking the Sandstorm/Shipwreck/Snowjob torso...most of the time the back half gets bent in half. I have at least half a dozen destroyed torsos of that particular sculpt.

I did the same thing at first but then he couldn't hold any of his guns so i decided to try this. I was worried the arms would look to big but i think it came out pretty good

I am borrowing this idea. LOL I have been working on one that can hold a gun and the bars as well.. but didn't think about using all the extra Zartans I have.
