When the 1986 figures came out, Wetsuit and Beachhead were my favourite. The only reason I got the Devilfish was that I loved the box art with Wetsuit and Beachhead on it. That's also why I loved the cover of issue #47 of the comics so much too.
When the club showed the Wetsuit figure and that it used a lot of POC Beachhead parts, I was thrilled. I went and got a POC Beachhead after I confirmed I was able to get Wetsuit. I thought they would look cool side by side. However, I wanted some elements of the scuba gear on Wetsuit so I made some changes and have him displayed with Beachhead now. However, the scuba mask is too big to fit on the Wetsuit head. :( I swapped out the head and put Chuckles head on the body. Now, the hat won't fit anymore...haha. I'm debating which of the two helmets to use. The smaller one in the pictures might look too small for him but the color is a perfect match. The Breaker helmet seems to make his head look huge. I don't know which to use. Maybe I might mod a Benchpress hat to see if I can make it fit (I don't want to mod the Wetsuit at all so I can revert him back). What do you guys think? With Scuba gear: With the smaller helmet: With Breaker's helmet: no helmet:

If you drop the mask in boiling water for a minute, you may be able to stretch it gently over the Wetsuit head if that's how you really want it to work... If you do it while the mask is still hot, you'll avoid any stress on the plastic.

I'm a Wet-Suit fan, too. I wouldn't go with the helmet, he doesn't seem like a helmet kind of guy. I do like the one pic you posted where he has the masked pushed up on his forhead. That would be my choice!

Nice!
I've gotten large goggles to fit on small heads before, so this'll work no problem on large scuba masks to problem! At the very back part of the straps on these goggles, cut cut out two small pieces. I'd cut out very small pieces and I'd check the new size on the head you want. When you've cut it down to the right size, use some superglue and glue the ends together, and it'll look pretty much seamless. Hope that helps! I wish I had the scratch to get me one o' them sets!

Great job on the customs. That's the same reason I wanted a Devilfish as well. The art looked so good that anytime I played with the Devilfish, it was Beach Head and Wetsuit all the time.
