Like everyone who has been enjoying the 25th Anniversary, I had been looking forward to completing the Original 13 Team and Steeler, as the MOBAT Commander, was high on the list. When I saw the weak effort being put into Steeler, I thought I would give it a go. There have already been some badass customs of this guy, I think G.I.Eddie was the first one I saw and I am always impressed by the creativity that other customizers have when reusing parts. As soon as I saw the Wild Bill, I knew I had my base. Hope you like him. I have more to come. The recipe is:
Head/Helmet- Hawk (will likely replace) Range Finder- Steeler vintage w/decal Torso- Wild Bill Chest Rig-Red Star/Scarlett/Cobra Officer Upper Arms- WB Lower Arms- Cobra Trooper Legs/Boots- Duke Mac-11- Mutt Vintage Last edited by Badgumbo; 11-10-2008 at 10:28 PM.. |

nice job...it just amazes me how lazy Hasbro was for Steeler...it's like not one soul in their figure developement area has any idea what the original Steeler looks like...
again though, great job...i'm really like'n the use of the Ace/WB torso...works quite nicely... |

I like it a lot. I've been thinking about using the WB/Ace torso or the Twins torso for a steeler custom. One thing, definitely find a different head. Other than that the color is great & the harness is spot on. Great work.

NOW THAT'S STEELER!!! This is how Steeler should have been done. Awesome custom my friend, here's hoping Hasbro "borrows" your idea for a future rerelease of Steeler.

That's the real deal. I would like Hasbro to come with something remotely similar to your custom figure. It's unfortunate that the upcoming Steeler figure that will come in the two-pack vehicles wave don't look like him.

I thought about the Twins as well and I thought it could work, I just really dug the WB body. And yes, the head will be replaced. I swapped my Colonel Hawk head with the 3pack head from a few years ago so I had an extra. Actually, I have wound up with a few extras of this severe looking sculpt! He is really serious guys!

nice job! I've been tossing around doing a steeler, too... can you say more about how you did the webgear? I'm missing where Scarlett's is...
