Finally got around to finishing these two. For Storm Shadow, the 1st Ninja Force one was my favourite version but it was saddled with the stupid spring action. The DG one that Hasbro released last year was an awesome representation. Just wish though that they gave him some stars and grenades. I don't have the skill to make it look like the vintage one, but I think what I did is a good enough compromise for me.
As for Snake Eyes, didn't like the head used. I've been meaning to do this head swap for a long time, but didn't like the shiny black visor. I wanted the visor to be grey. I actually was trying to match the grey to his bandolier but it ended up matching his leg straps which is fine by me. The backpack was a vintage one modified to fit the modern figures and to fit the modern sword.

They are both accurately closer to the originals thanks to your modifications...well done!
Also, I hated the original Ultimate Snake Eyes head too...

Thanks. I really wish they released him with the head shown in the protos.

Thanks.
I forgot to post a picture of the modified backpack. I cut off the peg, and then glue a pen tube above the peg as the modern figures have backpack holes that are generally placed higher up than the vintage ones. I also cut off one of the 3 tabs for the sword so that the modern sword can fit.

Big fan of that version of Stormshadow! It was my first figure back then.
Awesome mods! |
