I figured I'd show off the "slight" mods for the figures in my collection, starting off with my 3 favorite JOES... Enjoy, and feel free to steal my ideas in order to make your collection what it should be...
Glamorous! First off is my all time favorite figure, Flash. He was the first figure I got wayyyy back in 82' and has a LOT of sentimental value. My old man was Air Force, and a BIG Sci-Fi buff. He passed away a few years ago, before the re-issues/25th/Modern Era, so Flash really does hold a special place for me, and I wasn't all too happy with the 25th version of Flash. I felt that his head/face looked like a shaved monkey (True that for Grunt and Grand Slam also) Flash being my first and favorite, needed to look the hero part. So first and foremost of the mods, was a Duke head with brown hair. Next was a darker red pad scheme. Lastly was using a Maurader M14 (?) as a mod'd Laser rifle. I used the Mod version of the rifle, with basic optic on top, and "laser optic" under. I removed the clip, and "plugged a hose into where the clip SHOULD go. Last aspect came about this past week when I got the UBP and Steeler had his black visor. I figure a LRT might need more protection than standard for eye protection, so I added the visor on. Enjoy...

Next up is Snake Eyes (of Course)
Unlike many others, I'm really happy with the DVD set SE from Pyramid of Darkness. While Cartoony, it does have a LOT of AWSOME aspects to it. I fell in love IMMEDIATLY with the gloves and head. Next was the web gear. Seperate parts compared to the Wave 1 version, and slimmed down. I wasn't too happy with the light grey on brown on Purple, but that will be fixed with the next series of 5 packs (WOOT WOOT!!!) I also wasn't too pleased with the big arse HOOVES of the fig, so the first mod was to replace the original's with an extra Beachhead's. Next was to black-out the light grey on the web gear. and add some silver to the buckles and grenades. Last was to add the Maurader Uzi w/ Suppressor, and W7 SE painted back pack. This IS my default SE...At least till the new 5 packs are released....

And now STALKER...Target Excl. Ultimate Battle Pack style...
First off, the hands...ALL the JOEs in the UBP had FUBARED hands. Maybe it was just the set I got, but none the less, they all were loose or mismolded...Just absolute FUBAR. I replaced Stalker's hands with spare W1 SE's hands. First mod Second mod...Ditched the JUMP pack. Not needed for this fig. The color scheme for this fig SCREAMS undercover OPs. I haven't really been happy with any of the Stalkers so far. Never got the "Yellow" Stalker, the first one I got was OG Diaper Crotch, and the DVD set was just a bit..."fruity". I went out and got a fixed crotch Green Stalker, but still...Not happy. Then the UBP...YOWZA...but DOH...hands sucked. As I said, the subtle silver bracelets complement the silver in the web gear. Next...CP7 Beachhead's scarfe. A different green than the fig, but...I feel it's cool. Next, was yet anothr Maurader gun, I believe it's an HK-7?? Lastly, and while I have yet to do it, the black beret and eyebrows have some scuff marks that need a'fixin'... This is my default Stalker...at least untill we get a M.E. Sonic Fighters Stalker. ;)

Yup, the laser sight under the gun was just to change the look of the M14 so it's not completely the same as a standard rifle. You don't really need a laser sight for a laser rifle lol
