The way I see it, GI Joe figures fall into three categories: figures you like, figures you hate, and figures you forget about or barely knew existed. The Storm Shadow released in 2000 would fall under the third category for most of you i'd imagine.
The moment I got the Retaliation 3-pack Storm Shadow I pictured instantly in my mind that it could be used to make the 2000 version. Aside from a head swap, I repainted the Retaliation 3-pack Kamakura's hood white and voila, easy LBC. Formula: Head: 3-pack Retaliation Kamakura Hood: 3-pack Retaliation Kamakura repainted white Rest: 3-pack Retaliation Storm Shadow Last edited by code_red_shockwave; 03-20-2014 at 09:19 PM.. |

well you can be even lazier and do it without the paint...resolute storm shadow's hood is the same as kamakuras and then there's the DG wave one hood which i like better
neat idea though...makes that figure look alot better. though someone did a mediviper with that pack that i liked i forgot who

Thanks Ash...I had not brought GI Joes for years, so it felt good just to buy them this month and use some of them for custom fodder.
However, I don't have a Dollar General anywhere near me. |

there's alot of tankers on here that help people out with the DG figures.
it's always nice to see the stuff people come up with when it comes to the customizing of joes. honestly i think it's one of the best things about the line.

I don't have a job currently so my budget for getting GI Joe stuff is limited. Thanks for the replies though and I do agree that customizing is one of the best things about the line.

Not a bad combo, that is one definitely overlooked Storm Shadow. The neat thing was that the spring-action was removed.

Thanks. I hated spring action figures as well. Having spring-loaded missile launchers was fine to me, but for figures...horrible.
