So, I love the head sculpt and vest of the Night Fox we got with the Ninja Combat Cruiser. Too bad he has 5POA. Anyways, with a little work, I managed to put the vest on the 3 pack Snake Eyes body and modified the head a little too and now I got a fully articulated Night Fox. He's going to be riding shotgun on the Combat Cruiser and Rollbar will be the driver. Didn't realize Rollbar's hands weren't all the way in until the last picture I took when I fixed him.

Looks good. BTW, isn't the Night Fox head (painted, of course) Ultimate Duke's alternate head?

I tried putting that vest on that body I had no luck. Did you have to mod the vest to get it to fit.

I had to cut the tab on the inside of the front. Then I heated it under hot water until it was soft and then put it on.

Basically, I studied the vest and noticed that if it flexes, it should fit because physically, it was big enough, but was rounded so I heated it up and sure enough, the shape changed to fit on the Snake Eyes body. Just was a pain removing the paint on this right shoulder though.

Hopefully I'll have time to try this out this weekend. I figured with the inner tab cut away and heated it should flex enough to fit over some of the smaller torsos. Snake Eyes is a good choice.

I think that swap really works. I too loved that vest and head sculpt but had no use for the figure itself. A good hobby knife and a steady hand made it fit on to a shipwreck body without much effort as well.
