Rit dye does work, but with his arms exposed it would dye them too. I know it's only a little bit in the upper arm that would get exposed, but more work is more work. Also, it takes longer for the dyeing process to work.

not sure if you glossed him up on purpose to match the original, but he looks really cool like that

Has anyone tried cracking open the Wave 1 Flint figure to put the TF Flint arms in?
It seems like it'd be even quicker to customize since all you'd have to do is paint the shirt sleeves black instead of the whole shirt. That was an idea I had for a proper Flint if I can get it going. |

A matter of taste, really. Both are the same sculpt, and yes, the original already had the black beret, but the TF version is molded in flestones, like the arms, and the original is molded in white and painted flesh. I liked the molded flesh tone better as it matched the arms, and for once, Hasbro actually had a nice shade of flesh....I didn't feel the need to tweek it.
