Never really liked the ROC one and managed to score some vintage gear to make this. I never realized how dirty and yellowed the backpack was until I saw the picture...haha. I'll either use the other Charbroil backpack that I have which I didn't mod yet or I'll just clean it up and leave it yellowed, so it looks like oil residue or something. Let me know what you think of the Charbroil.

He looks great. Way better than Hasbro's version.

Very cool man, I think I like the backpack the way it is.

Thanks for the comments!
Yeah, for the backpack, the only thing I might do is clean it up so the brown dirt spots are gone. But I think the yellowing does add a nice effect of the backpack looking like it's seen a lot of use.

Thanks. It's amazing, there was actually a use for the Cobra Rip Attack vehicle! haha. The Elite Viper vest from that vehicle didn't have the Cobra logo on it which is why I went out and got the Rip Attack vehicle and it was like $3 only. Worked perfectly for Charbroil. I got the idea of using that vest from someone else here.

I forgot to thank mswi for this. He was the one who dremeled out the silver wrist pieces on the Charbroil. I had to tweak them a bit to fit, but it would never have happened without his help. He also dremeled out the front piece of the vintage torso, but ultimately, I ended up not using it.

Thanks. I love the helmet as well. It took a while to find a head that would fit the helmet and still look decent for Charbroil. I'm happy how it fits. Think it fits better than it did on the original Charbroil head. At least you don't have his chin sticking out as much.
