I know this looks nothing like the vintage one, but I did what I could with what I had as I don't have a vintage one's head to hollow out. If someone has an extra vintage head and a dremel, please let me know.
Basically, this is a modernized one with slightly less bright colors...haha. He keeps his orange from the vintage and there's some splashes of yellow. Not sure I'll keep the bandolier. I just had it there cause of the grenades. If I can find a black Firefly belt, then I'll switch it up. If anyone can help, let me know.

I never understood it either but I always thought it was really cool. Good job though I like what you've done. Im always too nervous to take any tools anywhere near my joes.

Works well as is!
Btw, i think an ARF trooper head would work well if you want something more close, but i like your version.

The Ice cream soldier call sign dates back to WW ll. A soldier was who could keep his cool in combat no matter how hot the action was referred to as an ice cream soldier. It was said that an Ice cream soldier was so cool under fire that an ice cream cone in his hand would not melt.
