I'm just gonna drop these here for kicks and giggles...
First up was Salvo, but I changed him to the tried and true formula (meaning already done by other customizers) His gear is still JoyToy: https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...tesdragon.html Here he is next to my previous Salvo build that is going to become Big Ben Next I call this guy Popeye. He's got a COD Advanced Warfare vibe: "Popeye" is obviously Shipwreck on a Delta figure with a White Vipers exo suit on. I'll wrap up for now with the ladies that I don't have names or finished back stories. For these I had to "tailor" the suits to fit. I switched the suits and knee pads they came with to add contrast. Since I stole the Selena head for my Hotline custom ( https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...tesdragon.html ), new Selena has a Zombie Lab head. The Zombie Lab head is big so I needed to make the figure look bulked up. In order to do this I gave her the Hell Grim Reapers' shoulder pads as shin guards and Delta Squad's slightly bigger hands. I envision her as a heavy hitter like the Cara Dune character in the Mandalorian. The other lady is Betty with Selena's gear modified. I gave her more edged weapons as I imagine she gives herself that savage haircut...

Very nice! The only thing I'd recommend is painting over "The Right Of Might" on your Salvo, as it just looks too much like scratched plastic. To help you in this, I would recommend using a toothpick, whittled down at the point to a fine tip; it remains firm, but allows for fine printing. Just go over what you've scratched on the shirt, as it is supposed to look like graffiti/comic print anyways. Otherwise, all are solid figures!

Yes, I meant to mention I planned on painting his shirt, but I ended up using a decal I modified as you can see in the updated pics. I included him mostly for the custom helmet. Thanks for the feedback!

Joytoy would make a killing if they start making the exo suit a separate purchase pack. I would buy a ton to build up a ton of my figures

They are the only ones I can find to buy separate. They aren't cheap, about $13 for everything pictured, but they're cheaper than the figures. Here is a pic of the mock-up, but it will look way better with the above grey and black exo-suits.

I'm going to get these to use with Data Vipers as a version of Snake Armor.

I have a bin of the figures sitting there collecting dust. |

I'm located in China and there's a couple of sellers on their ebay equivalent, TaoBao. There are lots of sellers with loose/incomplete figures and accessories for sale a la carte.

Awesome. Thank you. I will look around some. I've ordered a couple of items to the states from Taobao. Maybe I'll do so again.
