After recently posting my Bombstrike and Barrel Roll customs that I made modifications to, I've decided to post my Blackout custom as well. My original custom used the ROC Neo-Viper legs, which at first I thought looked good, but after looking at it more carefully, I decided the bo-legged look had to go. The ones I chose for my new Blackout custom imo look much better. As for the head, I wanted to choose one that looked really close to the Spytroops figure's. Rather than choose the FSS Blackout's(didn't want to shell out over $20 to get the figure just for the head), I went with the Retaliation Duke's. Why? Because unlike the ROC Duke heads, there's no facial scar, and the hairstyle and hair color looked accurate to me.
Also, I know someone might nitpick that I didn't add the silver gauntlets, or that I used gray instead of silver, but I felt that the gray was more of a muted color to keep him stealthier and I didn't think he really needed the gauntlets as long as I could cover just enough details from the source figure to make it look like an update. I'm attaching two photos---the one on the left is the original, the one on the right is the new one. Formula for the old Blackout: Head: Retaliation Wave 1 Duke Goggles: Spytroops Blackout Vest: Agent Mouse Arms and chest: ROC Rescue Snake Eyes Legs: ROC Neo-Viper Rifle: 50th Rock Viper Formula for the new Blackout: Head: Retaliation Wave 1 Duke Goggles: Spytroops Blackout Vest: Agent Mouse Arms and chest: ROC Rescue Snake Eyes Legs: ROC Elite Viper Rifle: 50th Rock Viper
