Hard Drive - Here's a guy that had neat card art and an awful, awful figure. I decided to try and mute the colors and see if I could give him a respectable 25th update. The hat is a JVC cap with some added Star Wars antennae. Head is Airborne, torso/arms are from Ace, and the legs are from a Greenshirt. Back pack is Roadblock's with an Indy scabbard for the antennae.
Rumbler - Another guy that had a weird figure. I opted to leave Duke's pants as is instead of giving him the OG peach trousers. Head/helmet are Breaker, jacket/arms are Indy, hands are BBI, rest is TF Duke. Rampart - Several folks have done Rampart using this recipe or something very similar. The only thing totally unique to mine (As far as I've seen) is the use of a JVC Recondo head. Rampage - A real lazy one. Like Hard Drive, the original had cool art but a crap figure. I wanted a helmet for him but couldn't find one that would fit over Lando's awesome perm so he got some BBI goggles instead. Rest is Firefly with painted boots, swapped hands and comic pack Beachhead's gear. The Mandatory Sarge custom - I think most of the WWE figure is cool, but like everyone else, I thought it was too short. Instead of cutting him in half, I fiddled with some Roadblock legs until they fit and then cut off the boots and glued Sarge's back on. |

Those are all *really* cool. Hasblo could rake in tons of our cash by doing this sort of thing with the 25A line/ RAH edits. Great work man!

Wow! These are amazing. Rampart came out incredibly and Hard Drive is the best.

Wow Lee, great work, man! Lovin' the Rampart & Hard drive figures.
I'm really happy you left Lando's MEGAPERM alone. |

they are all great, but Hard Drive is my favorite just because I've never seen him done (I've been contemplating it myself and may have to steal some of your ideas for it).

Thanks. Please, steal away. I often look at your site for inspiration (I borrowed your vest idea for my Crosshair) so I'd be glad to return the favor. I have an LBC Med Alert here that I'll post soon that uses the same body as Hard Drive. That Wild Weasel torso is versatile.
