Arctic Expeditionary Team

minstrelboy · 07-26-2008, 07:31 PM

Very simple custom job. I picked up a lot of Snow Jobs for a very reasonable price off of eBay (actually, there were two different lots, I think - but I won't ever pay over retail, because it just contributes to people asking for more and more outrageous prices), and with some quick head swaps, voila! My own arctic expeditionary team, ready to combat the upcoming Cobra arctic assault squad.

From L-R, we have Gung-Ho, Stalker, Shipwreck, Roadblock, Snow Job, Breaker, Snake Eyes and Duke. (Snake's the odd ball, with his non-Arctic color scheme. I thought ninjas were supposed to blend in.)

Look at that squad! Nice job!

Your arctic assault team looks great. Here are a few pic's of my arctic assault. I need to take some new pic's...I did away with Shipwreck & added Gung-Ho & Stalker. I need to see about getting some Cobra stickers for the arms on my Cobra arctic assault force.

Those are sweet. Wish I could get more Arctic Snake Eyes - his uniform is a lot better than Snow Job, despite the color. That's the nice thing about them - you can have almost any figure you want on the team. Just swap the head and gear. I want to do the same thing with the Torpedo figure. I only have two right now, though.

Thanks. That Zombie Zombie film was awesome. The stop motion is very fluid. It's based on the John Carpenter movie The Thing, which I was watching the other day. Wilford Brimley's finest moment, until the Liberty Mutual commercials.

Thanks, I haven't seen many of the arctic Snake Eyes. I thought about doing the Torpedo customs - but can't due to the price hike & amount of product coming out. By the way that Zombie Zombie on YouTube is awesome!

Very cool! The only thing I would do is add the backpacks from the other figures, like Gung-Ho & Breaker. Maybe do "hood-down" for Breaker and add his helmet and com gear?

Great concept!
