Hi 'Tankers,
I was just curious about what tweaks you've done to your figures to make them perfect. When I say tweaks, I mean simple part swaps, no major modding or painting. Some examples that I've done: Used 5-pack Hawk's Helmet on Wave 9 Hawk. ( I like the darker shade on Hawk, but hated the helmet he came with) Swapped "Best of The 80's" Cobra Commander's head on the recent 5-pack CC's Body. - With that chrome head, he became my default Cobra Commander in my display, but I didn't want to display him with the glider, nor did I want to cut the gear off of him. Luckily 5-pack CC's body is just about the same. Added the Cobra Shroud/cape, snake harness, and accessories from DVD pack Serpentor to Air chariot Serpentor. Gave Tomax and Xamot their classic guns; the green ones suck So tweaks have you done? |

I just started tweaking my Para-viper. I bought some paint and started getting rid of the yellow, bright orange and some of the gray parts of the figure. I'm almost finished with what I guess is my first custom, I'll post pics when I get it done.

I switched out arms and the head on Resolute Duke and made it an urban assault BAT. Quick and easy. You have to widen the arm holes though to make the BAT arms fit.

Put the face mask from the Extreme Conditions Major Bludd on the single-carded version, making the E.C. Bludd my default.
Gave Scarface's AK-47 to the Cobra Officers. Switched the vests and weapons between the comic pack and single-carded versions of Beach Head. Left the unmasked head on the comic pack version. Put the single-carded Flint head on the 5-pack version. Used the extra Flint head on Resolute 5-pack Duke's body. Gave comic pack Storm Shadow's claw to version 2. Gave Grunt and the Greenshirts standard M-16s. Replaced Snow Job's laser rifle with the rifle that came with 5-pack Duke. Gave Grand Slam a JUMP and the flames from a Boba Fett figure, as well as a grey version of the cartoon laser rifle. Gave Stalker Tiger Force Duke's machine gun. |

Here's what I did shown in this thread:
http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...s-figures.html - they include using the comic pack Duke's body and using that as Grunt - backpack mods so Breaker and Mainframe have their original backpacks and Quick Kick's backpack sits better - Alpine gauntlets. Mods I did to my Mobat. No painting required, just cutting http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...obat-mods.html Rock N Roll arm mod and Short Fuze using Comic Pack Duke's body http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...hort-fuze.html Clutch arm mods http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...-new-arms.html Mjr Bludd mods Mjr Bludd arm articulation was added (and later I made his helmet removable). http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...new-bludd.html Shockwave mods: added original backpack and modified neck so he can look down more. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...fications.html

I put a greenshirts webgear on CP Duke (w/RedStar) as I didn't like the bandolier on this partiular body. Also, I swapped the radioactive SnakeEyes gear with an extra CP gear that I used paint thinner to remove the "highlighter yellow" from the grenade. I then painted it darker and cut off the holster which I plan on adding to my Resolute Duke sometime soon.
