I took the silver laser rifle and silver backpack from Flash, and put them on GrandSlam. Then I took a spare Breakers green backpack and NightWatch Troopers black laser rifle to put on Flash to make him look like his 1982 self.
Put the chrome Destro Head from the Destro/Breaker 2-pack, on the single carded Destro versions body. Swapped Greatest Battles DVD-pack V3 Snake-Eye's backpack with single carded V3 Snake-Eye's backpack. Swapped multiple Cobra Legions 5-pack black suited Cobra Commander's head with that of multiple Cobra Air-Troopers. Ate oatmeal for breakfast. |

DVD Destro head (chrome head with painted eyes! FINALLY!) onto the 5-pack Destro. I love the cartoon and all, but the DVD body just looks too and boring. I don't mind the dark charcoal uniform... It helps to show the details of the sculpt.
Also, I mixed and matched both Rock N' Roll parts so that the CP R&R is the base body, but I used the straps and gear from the single-pack version so that the greens are two-toned. It makes him not so monochromatic, and I like the short sleeves better for a heavy gunner. I took the corrected-arm Breaker from the vehicle set and put all the gear from the CP Breaker on him. I also painted a full beard on the spare head, so I can switch the heads out for shaven or bearded Breaker. |

Where to start.
Added Marauders flashlights to the new 5 pk Snake Eyes back pack by drilling two small holes into the top and then gave it to Tunnel Rat. Gave the new 5 pk Snake Eyes the all black commando Snae Eyes lower legs. Fixed Dukes arms by cutting off the old ones below the sleeve cuff and addede the tiger force versions. Now he has fully functonal arms sans the mid wrist cut. Battle pack Serpentor gear went to the carded version. popped the dark blue hooded Cobra Commander head onto a light blue helmet commander body for the "animated" look. Took the feet off of a BAT and put them onto Bow Torch for a more bulky "I walk thru fire" look. And the darker yellow works better with the darker yellow of his belt and hose for his air mask. Removed the dark brown cloth on Dusty's helmet and used a piece of light brown material from a Yoda cloak to mnake it more true to the original. Gave Falcon some TF Flint lower arms and hands. Put the new pilot Destro head onto the original 5pk Destro. Looks great, though if he had ears it would be perfect. But I'll probably go back to the chrome head since I can't shake childhood nostalgia. Fixed Major Bludds (Desert conditions version) dog tags as detailed earlier in this thread and switched and gave him the carded versions three fingered hand. LOTS of tweaks to troopers and officers to adfd more variety such as web gear and gloves. Almost all figures have been given Marauder weapons upgrades. I'm sure there's more, but this is what I can think of off the top of my head.

Swap the comic pack Firefly's vest with wave 2 Beachhead's vest. This one is easy and kicks ass. It almost seems to fit each character better, in my mind.

* Sliced into almost half of my figures' hands to give them proper trigger fingers. They look so much better holding their weapons with a finger on the trigger.
* Cut into the 5-Pack Destro's left hand so he could properly hold onto his briefcase. * Always made sure that 5-Pack Scarlett's belt/holster is positioned in such a way that it's slanted, being higher on the right hip than on the left hip. Looks much more flattering and sexier that way. * Used those clear elastic bands and some brown paint to give the Wave 1 Flint some proper gloves. * Gave Zartan his signature weapon of choice and gave him Storm Shadow's bow. * Swapped out IG Destro's gold head for the IG comic pack Destro's gold one with the painted red eyes. * Painted the CG's black facemasks silver for a more accurate look. * Replaced Mutt's "birthing hip" thighs with 3-pack Duke's slimmer legs and lower torso. (Duke's lower torso is a lighter shade of green than Mutt's upper torso. But Mutt's vest does a good job of covering up this glaring issue.) * Gave Shockwave the Cobra Paratrooper's submachine gun. (Can't have a respectable SWAT member kicking doors down with just a couple of itty-bitty peashooters.) * Cut off the criminally short breathing tubes of the Eel and replaced them with the longer and more functional (more poseable) Cobra Paratrooper's breathing tubes. * Painted the Eel's feet black, so they would mesh better with the black flippers. |

Oh, I made Matt Trakker better by not opening him and hiding him in a closet.
