I just didn't like the closed fist hand and the Cobra Trooper legs used to make 25th Crankcase. Added some 50th Anniversary parts and now I'm happier. (I say happier because I didn't realize the back of his shirt collar was unpainted until after taking the pics!) I might go back in and fix the collar one of these days. I also gave him a vintage helmet.

Looks great... Hasbro really dropped the ball on Crankcase. He was one of my favorites as a kid... I went the expensive route and used the Club Footloose head for my Crankcase custom and a painted DG Duke helmet.

looks good! I was only going to swap out the hands on mine but the 50th legs work too! Spirit legs right?
Did you remove the camo or was this an overseas non-camo version?

Big improvement. I have to say, and I am probably a minority here, I actually like the Breaker head on Crankcase. ARAH Crankcase always looked like a British officer to me, where as this head and paint, has a little of that angry redneck look. No offense to those of us who might resemble that remark.

Very nice!!! I like the legs (with camo removal), hands, and forearms, but I've been racking my brain and combing my fodder bin for a new pre-painted torso for Crankcase. I just can't find one. Any ideas anyone???
Marauder's Falcon? I've never cracked a torso, but I'd really like to update this figure if possible.

There is no collar, buttins, or short sleeves on DG SW. It may be a nice different take though.

Thanks! I used the overseas non-camo version. Once I saw that one, I was like, this is perfect for Crackcase!

Yeah, luckily the whole "sweater over a button down shirt" thing didn't catch on with the rest of the Joes. The only other thing you could do is pick the 50th Flint torso and have the reverse (a sweater under a shirt). But that would require paint.
