In the theme of making updates to characters to fit the 30th line, the next figure I made was Tunnel Rat. As he spends most of his time underground in tunnels I decided to remove his humangous beeg machine gun and switch it out for a nice Desert Eagle. Should make it easier for him to crawl through tight spaces. Let me know what you think of him.
Parts: Entire body: Renegades Tunnel Rat Flash Light, Desert Eagle: Not sure Pack: 25th Hit 'N' Run |

I would give a shotgun as many Nam era tunnel rats carried those. Plus it has some battlefield capability.

That's a great looking repaint. If only Hasbro had the fore-sight to do something like this...

Nice, but the Desert Eagle is a little too big, heavy and a bit of a kick for close quarters. He could prob handle it but he needs something that can do the job and be easy and light enough to carry and do the job.
Modern Firearms - QSPR silent revolver "Fix-It" 357 Magnum Pistol, Knife & Grenade - 1:18 Scale Weapon Set for 3-3/4 Inch Action Figures http://www.marauderinc.com/servlet/Detail?no=100 check that out above. Some handguns can also fire shotgun rounds, so maybe depending on the gun Tunnel rat won't need a shot gun. But a set of Thermal or night vision set up would be cool.

I've been waiting for somebody to repaint that figure in the classic colors. It's way better than any modern figure we've gotten of him!

I love the classic colors, although those parts ended up being a bit tall for tunnel rat in my opinion, i'd switch out something maybe the torso to make him a little shorter.

Nice repaint. Hasbro should do something simple like this.
