I decided to post a couple of fairly simple customs here.
First up is Gristle. At first I was thinking of making him a Headhunter Stormtrooper elite officer and just simply use a POC Firefly head. However, the red reminded me of Gristle's original RAH figure and I decided to use the Crimson Horseman body to make Gristle instead. The MIB Agent K figure's head wasn't easy to pop on since I did not have a drill, so I had to use some sharp scissors to try to drill the hole in. With Mr. Shadow now becoming the new Headman and leader of the organization known as the Shadowhunters, Gristle knew he could either meet the same fate as the original Headman or join up with the new boss. With a bigger budget, more powerful armor, and more devious boss than the original, Gristle feels he's made the right choice. Second one is Skull Buster. I saw the Club version and was disappointed by how it looked, so I thought I would take a crack at making a simple custom to save me the money of getting him. I also wanted him to look more sinister underneath the helmet so instead of seeing a human you see someone with glowing eyes, and hence I used a Dollar General Wave 2 Snake Eyes head. While I only repainted the helmet, I think he looks great as is, particularly with the POC COBRA Commander torso. Skull Buster is one of the deadliest warriors under COBRA Commander's employ. Many COBRAs know to stay out of his way because sometimes if he gets too restless not fighting against GI Joes, he ends up hunting his own men. Formulas: Gristle: Body, vest, backpack: Crimson Horseman Grenade launcher: Retaliation 3-pack Firefly Head: Men In Black Agent K(modified to fit) Skull Buster: Head: Dollar General Wave 2 Snake Eyes Helmet: Range Viper from the Twin Battle Guns Torso and arms: POC COBRA Commander Legs: Retaliation COBRA Commander(black) Rifle: COBRA Combat Ninja Knife: not sure Will post more customs later.

Thanks. I think it's awesome that the Crimson Horseman and the POC Firefly both have the same body, with different colors...he looks more intimidating with the red though.
