So much drama 'n the LBCs

Okay, Mods, my goal is to get this badboy stickied, and if so just change the threadstarter to a Mod for all I care (not into it for credit). It's similar to the genius and ever-so-helpful http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...in-thread.html, but with a slightly more focused goal:
• Provides a source of inspiration for customizers • Assist customizers who aren't fans of the ROC line, but would like to continue 25th Anniversary-styled figures through customs • Show (us stubborn "classic" ARAH lovers) how we can turn ROC lemons into ARAH lemonade-y goodness. Thus potentially selling more ROC figures and helping to continue our beloved Joe lines • Help us save as much money as possible by providing our insights, experience and trial-and-error approaches so that we get the right ROC figures the first time, and to bring to attention the varied uses of say, for example—an ROC Storm Shadow, if he's not your thing.

For starters, my ideas so far:
Wet-Suit fix: • ROC Flash. Take the helmet from Flash, paint it and plop it onto the 7-pack Wet-Suit, and voila. Not my original idea, but it works great if you ask me. (WS needs more mods, but this is just how to use the Flash figure). I plan on doing this, as soon as I can find a ROC Flash. Then, put one of the new various helmets from the ROC line onto Flash, and tada, awesome new Resolute-styled figure. Joe or Cobra, you decide. Proposed Frostbite: • ROC Shipwreck head. Goggles from various sources. Modded fur collar from Snow Serpent. Torso from ROC Frostbite. Legs and arms from various sources (my options so far, just waiting on release): ROC Arctic Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow. I'm hoping the white matches perfectly, and I'll update my experience. |

So, customizers and fellow 25th Anniversary fans, I ask for your brilliant insight and improvements upon mine and any other Tanker's posts. Post away, please.
Oh, and PLEASE POST PICS SO WE CAN SEE THE AWESOMENESS (as soon as "proposed" becomes real, of course. Can't go taking pics of figures that aren't released yet.) Last edited by Mandingo Rex; 07-13-2009 at 05:01 AM.. |

Yes, knowing is half the battle, but seeing is believing. Forgot to mention that.

I at least plan on using Sgt. Stones head for the possible Night Force Falcon release. Can't stand that head head sculpt he had.

Put the black head from viper from the fang and glider pack, put it on the new scrap iron's head. Paint the visor gold and voila! Mudd/dirt/crap viper! (pics after paint)

Glad to see the thread's getting a little traffic. I think as time progresses and we get more parts that we'll see a ton more 25th customs. What do people think about using an Accelerator suit for Sci-Fi? |
