Hey Tankers!
My first post concerning figure customizations. When I first saw the Enforcer / Falcon Comic Pack, I just about cried, because Lt. Falcon was one of my favorite characters growing up. The factory mold gives him quite the stiff upper lip! And something just wasn't right with the eyebrows either. Also, the camoflage on this new version doesn't hold a candle to the original, IMHO. Not enough camo lines. So I made an attempt at an update, only made some minor changes. Nothing except some gentle X-acto work, and some custom mixed acrylics to paint the face. I also painted his boot laces on the foot portion (why didn't Hasbro think of this). I gave him teeth and an open mouth, as well as filled in the whites of his eyes where the factory didn't get it right. What I ended up with is, I feel, a much closer version to the original. Enjoy!

Dude.. that's nice. I wish I could do something with his face because it looks like he's straining to take a dump.
