This custom was made by Slaymaker but I brought this custom indirectly through CrimsonDeath from Hisstank. While the alternate head from the original 50th Anniversary Shockwave custom would match well with the collar, the thing that bothered me is the fact that I can't get him to look straight using the Retaliation Beach-Head's head...he's always looking towards his right. Unfortunately, none of my local paint shops have the Insignia Blue color from the brand Testors available, so instead I used my last Battle Armored CC balaclava head, which works. Also, originally the vest was supposed to be the 50th Low-Light's but I think due to the plastic being too brittle there was a crack within it that needs repair. I don't blame Slaymaker or CrimsonDeath but the plastic of the vest as i'm sure neither of them knew anything about it. I was fortunate to have an extra vest just in case, which works well I think. I added a knife and sheath from a 50th Anniversary Beach-Head to make it look closer towards the 25th Anniversary's Shockblast's vest.
Formula: Head: 25th Anniversary single pack Battle Armored CC Torso: Retaliation 3-pack Firefly Arms and legs: 50th COBRA Trooper Vest: Renegades COBRA Trooper Helmet: modified Ultimate Flint's Knife and sheath: Superglued from 50th Beach-Head's at his right leg

Agreed, he did a top notch job on the paint, especially the camouflage.

That vest works. So the cast Low Light vest ripped out, eh? I have yet to find cast webgear that holds up over time. that is why I have a gallon ice cream tub full of Hasbro gear to make figures with. Glad you have him and will enjoy him!
thanks to all for the props on the camo...likely there is a thread here showing the fig before I sent it to the 1st owner.
