Here's the joe team's laser rifle trooper. A little bit of inspiration hit me recently...actually when I came across some 30th figures the other day and decided that a good part of the SB figures would make good parts for Flash and Grand Slam. This is part of my POC-inspired versions of the OG13.
I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to capture the look I wanted for Flash (and GS), because I didn't want him to be too sci-fi or to have armor. This is why I didn't choose Beachhead or Duke. POC Dusty was an option, but I wanted the padding/vest to be a separate part as on the other OG13 figures already completed. While the head is not my favorite, I think it works here. As I've whined about before, it's hard to find usable heads because the torsos I'm using are on the large side. This one has the right size, and it looks at least a little less goofy with a repaint. I'm really proud of what I did for his pack. I looked forever for a suitable version of what powers Flash's laser rifle but had no luck. Again, I didn't want it to be too sci-fi. When I came across this pack, I realized the battery pack could be in the backpack where it would be better protected. The pack comes apart fairly easily, and I actually have a smaller pack tucked inside for the peg.

Recipe and a couple more pics:
- head: 25th Deep Six - torso/arms: Steel Brigade - legs: POC General Hawk - vest/padding: SB - belt: Gen. Hawk - helmet: POC Dusty - pack: ROC Arctic Snake Eyes - laser rifle: ROC Zartan with blade cut off - cabling: POC Pegwarmer Duke By the way, Hawk is nearly completed, and Breaker will be as soon as I finish some sculpting. Grand Slam, of course, will be a lot like Flash although I haven't yet found a head I like.

That is awesome! I would re-buy the original 13 if they came out like yours!
Wow - just looked at all of them again! I may have to save all the threads and try to do somthing similar! They are all outstanding! I really, really like them! Please Hasbro take note - a 30th anniversary 13 pack with these would be sweet!!!

My favorite of the O-13 and you did an amazing job of reinventing him. This is the one I've been waiting for and you did not fail to deliver the goods! Thanks for posting this up!

Another home run. Can't wait to see the full team. Have you given any thought to making Shooter?
