The Headhunter Stormtrooper was one of the best new characters to show up in the 1990's. He was intimidating, didn't have neon colors, and was part of an awesome stable called the Headhunters. It never ceases to amaze me that Hasbro to this day has not made a ME version of this army builder, so I decided to make my own. I tried carefully to pick parts that would be vintage accurate, and I think they come pretty close. I modified a Retaliation Kamakura webgear by cutting off one of the straps and attaching a knife holster(though I cannot seem to remember which ME GIJOE figure I got it from). I added spikes which are small pieces of toothpicks that I cut with a pair of scissors and stuck them into black Sculpey which I repainted a dark gray along with most of his body. I have even included a photo of the original RAH Headhunter Stormtrooper for comparison.
Formula: Head: Rise of COBRA Neo-Viper Torso and arms: M.A.R.S. Industries Trooper Webgear: Retaliation Kamakura(modified) Spikes: Wooden toothpicks stuck in black Sculpey Legs: 25th Anniversary Firefly

You probably just gave the Club an idea for their Con set next year, lol. That's a great head choice.
