Being an old school ARAH comic fan I REALLY wanted a Dr. Venom figure when they came out, but did not want to shell out the big $$ for one. :( After reading an article online about what parts he was made of, I figured he'd be real easy to do. Hardest part was getting the arms white (there must be 50 coats of white on them, as there were dark blue! I love the Destro head on him too, looks much better than all the ones you see w/ the SW Tarkin heads that look too old, and the club one looks too ARAH like, and not 25th/ME/30th like.
HEAD – SDCC RoC Destro TORSO – 25th Cobra Trooper COAT – RoC Doctor / Rex TIE – Hand Painted ARMS – 25th Cobra Trooper HANDS – SDCC RoC Destro LEGS / FEET – 25th Hooded Cobra Commander I don't mean to brag, but I busted my a$$ off on this figure as simple as he is. This is actually the second one I did, as the first one's arms got screwed up when I went to paint them. Regardless, he was a real bitch to do, and I am quite proud of him. The toughest, simple custom I have done yet. PS - BTW, Yes, that IS Scar Face w/ him for you old school ARAH comic geeks like me

Thanks to all, I got the idea to use the Destro head from this article -
G.I. Joe Collectors' Club Dr. Venom Again, I agreed w/ the idea that the idea of his head (Destro) looked a LOT better than the Tarkin one we sell all the time. I think the biggest thing that goes against the Tarkin one is the hair, hardly no one ever paints it, and leaves it grey. :( Plus the SDCC RoC Destro one like I used has a more realistic scuplt than even the official Joe club head does. Thanks again to all, I have never put so much effort into a figure before for something that was so simple to do. Eric
