Here is my custom 50th Dial-Tone. Every modern Hasbro version of Dial-Tone to date has been a disservice to this cool character and the original action figure! Beret is MTF; head is a SW Biggs Darklighter; neck scarf was just in a fodder bin - I painted it Khaki to match the arms; torso is a DG green Shipwreck; arms are from 50th Lift Ticket; legs are from DG Cobra; web gear is from I don't know how it was just in a web gear fodder bin, and I loved the colors. I also added some grenades and a pouch from MTF. The submachine gun is a modern take of the parabellum that came with the vintage figure. The backpack is a vintage backpack with the peg customized to fit modern figure. Mouthpiece/mic does swivel. Datapad on leg is from POC Beachhead figure. Comments/critiques encourage and appreciated.

Wow, that comes together really nicely. How much painting did you have to do? I can't tell what's factory and what's not. Parts choices are fantastic and the overall execution is outstanding.

The only painting is the neck scarf - painted khaki; the pelvis painted black; and the boots & knee pads painted green. Then I gave the entire figure a matte finish. Oh yeah, and I painted the silver beret patch. I really struggled on how to make a collar, and I just didn't like the results. Then, all of the sudden I thought about that neck scarf thing that comes with the Steel Brigade figure. So while I was digging in a fodder bag (I use big zip-lock bags) I found this other neck scarf that may even be from a Marvel Universe or Prince of Persia figure. It gives the figure a more 50th look to me. Thanks again! Jason |

Wow! That's really awesome. I love how there's minimal painting. I might have to copy this, at least to some degree.

Nice looking custom. I agree, Hasbro hasn't given the character much love...
