While I was happy that Hasbro updated Wetsuit, my favourite part of him was his helmet with the hose attachments. Was really disappointed that Hasbro decided to not give us the helmet.
I bought a hollowed out vintage helmet off someone on Hisstank and did some mods to Wetsuit. One of my favourite. I remember as a kid, I would dream that I had a removable helmet vintage Wetsuit.

Great job. Besides the RAH Wet-Suit helmet/head, the ROC Flash helmet, I feel is the closest to Wet-Suit's helmet as you can get.

I was also pretty disappointed with the lack of a good helmet for a modern Wet-Suit. This looks terrific!

Nice work! I tried doing the removable helmet thing, but could never get it to sit right, so u went with swappable heads instead.

Thanks. He was my favourite Joe diver and once the 1992 Wetsuit came out, I gave that head to my 1986 one and just had to swap back and forth (which was quite a pain back then...haha) cause I wanted him to not have his helmet on for land missions.

I made a change over the weekend. I didn't like how his hands fit so I swapped in a new pair of arms. The joints feel more solid now whereas the previous hands would slide down and leave a gap at his wrist.
For some unknown reason, the JoeCon Wetsuit head is always leaning to one side on this body, which is why you see the head always tilted. I might have to play around with the neck joint to fix that eventually.
