I had an idea to make another D.E.F. Shockwave custom that still retained the look of the original figure, but had stealthier/more realistic colors, and could still sort of look like the original version with his ski mask and baseball cap. This was my way of incorporating all those elements. Also, prior to making changes with the vest, legs, and head w/removable helmet, I was inspired by a custom I saw on Ebay(the original custom had the Shock Trooper legs not pictured, and the alternate head and baseball cap that are pictured) but decided to make it even better.
Making the Shock Trooper blue or close to it involved mixing Real Navy and Pavement colors from Apple Barrel paints, which cost less than $1 each at Wal-Mart. It's fairly easy to make aside from getting the RAH Sky Patrol Drop Zone helmet.

Toss the Def helmet on him and he's perfect. For some reason or another I loved the look of the Def Shockwave with the helmet on. The original figures head looked to boyish I guess so I almost never took his helmet off. Regardless of my opinion about the Original yours still looks great.

Thanks. I only have one 1992 DEF Shockwave helmet, plus the RAH Drop Zone helmet looks a lot like the one he used in the comics.
