Custom Big Boa made 25th/mod.era. Tweaked a bit from the OG FIG but tryed to stay close to the same. Knowing that we wont get one (or if we do it will be quite a while) I had to make one my self. Also havent seen anyone make on before and wanted to be the first (just kidding). Anyway thoughts / comments much appreciated.

Its inaccurate! Argh!
Actually, I think it's cool. Seems there is an unspoken law against "cheating" by using the original figure's head for a modern custom and still earning respect, and this really bybasses that for sure, using all modern parts, even an updated bag stand! Cool and interesting. I don't mind the CG helmet at all, realistically, it would be odd for the trainer to have a closet full of unique helmets just for himself. A battle armor CC pipe glued on may have been even more of an homage, but really, what was that all about? So he could work out and breathe from his own sweaty ear? Great job, the colors scream of the original, it's a cool look, and if hasbro makes one, yours is different and nifty enough not to get thrown in a drawer. The HasBoa will need some help training Vipers to get knocked out when punched right in the helmet |

someone on here used road blocks bullet tips from his chain of bullets, for spikes on their big boa, an that inspired me to use bullets as spikes on a custom dreadnok i did.
