I'm presently working on a few customs to fill some holes in my 25th anniversary collection that were left by Hasbro.
First up is Cover Girl. I'm not getting the FSS. I opted instead to make my own versions of most of the characters. I tried to stay as close to the original figure as possible. I used the Scarlett head, cut off the ponytail and painted the hair reddish brown. I used the 25th Snake Eyes legs. They are pretty skinny for male legs, I thought they would make CG look more like a soldier, not just a token woman for the team. For accessories, I'm giving her a toolbox and tools to work on the Wolverine and other armored vehicles. Next up is Rumbler. Being pretty obscure, he wasn't a high priority for my collection, but he was in the same color scheme as Cover Girl and was simple to make, so I went for it. I'll probably end using him as the gunner/co-pilot for the AWE Striker. Both figures still need a few touch-ups, but I'm happy with the way they turned out. Comments are always welcomed. OB

Okay, I need to know: where oh where did that tool box and wrench come from? I've been killing myself looking for one!

Thanks guys.
Yes, they are painted pretty much completely Edhellman, the tools are from Mega Bloks, one of the McLaren race sets. I got them in a lot of blocks I bought a few years ago. They are too big for Lego/MB figures but pretty good for Joes. OB

That's a damn good CG, almost makes me want to re-do mine.
