Hi everyone,
Here is my 3rd Sideshow inspired Joe custom - Beachhead. I didn't like the vest that comes with the 25th Anniversary and decided to make one myself. I also wanted a removable beret so that when I pose with the unmask head, the beret on the vest can also be taken off. Also I could have saved the trouble and $$$ by using the entire POC wave 3 Snake-Eyes torso but I wanted to give a uniform look to my 2 previous customs in terms of Holster and pouches. This is also my 1st attempt on woodland camo. I didn't go for Sideshow accuracy backpack for this custom as I felt the 25th Anni one is actually quite well done. Hope you guys dig it.

That looks awesome man! I would just suggest to change the feet to Shock Trooper feet. They fit perfectly on those lower legs. Great custom anyway!

Awesome...although...not to be critical as it's your figure in your verse...but beachhead is a ranger...and rangers in a ranger bat (as depicted by the "75th" on the 25th figure's arm) wear a tan beret...or you could go with traditional ranger bat colors and give him a black one...although the army now issues black berets...but that's another story
however to play "devil's advocate" for beachhead to be a ranger...he would have had to gone to airborne school and earned his "red beret" there...so it could be argued that he chooses to wear the red one...as he's no longer assigned to a ranger bat...and since bazooka can wear his favorite jersey...i suppose if red is beachhead's favorite color...it works...but regardless that's an awesome job |

General Hawk is definitely next. I'm still contemplating on Flint coz I'm not confident of painting the camo, Stalker - No coz Hasbro will be releasing 1 soon. As for Cobra, I've always wanted to make Firefly but didn't set about doing it.
Thanks guys for your kind words again. make the firefly!!! and storm shadow!!! |
