A couple of you have asked to see my Action Force customs since I joined so I am planning to show off as many as I can in this thread (I am new here so apologies if I am not doing it in the best way). I am happy to hear critiques and suggestions (including your own pictures) as I am always looking for inspiration to make my figures better.
Firstly I want to point out that I do not look to make exact replicas of the original figures, just figures that I like that I think are recognisable as the original character. First up is Z Force and their Captain Skip. All MTF parts with just a subtle camo pattern added Last edited by AF80sFAN; 05-04-2020 at 12:07 PM.. |

For Breaker I had real trouble building a figure that I liked, that was until the Marauder WW2 figures came out and there was a torso that I thought would work for Breaker. Still undecided if I like the vintage Action Force backpack with belt combo.

I liked the GI Joe vest for Doc with the Lifeline case and a vintage stretcher. I do have the Marauder WW2 stretcher since I took this photo which I might swap over with it. A little more painting was required for this figure

I can't wait until the MTF bare torso comes out. Until then I had to use a BFS blank (with thanks to Zap's adapter). The vest is the best that I had available when I made the figure, but I may revisit it in the future. I decided against the Marine logo on his chest (which I did do on my MTF Gung Ho) as I did not think it was appropriate for a Mexican character.

The one thing Action Force lacked was a bit of diversity in the team so I decided to change the ethnicity of my Infantry Trooper. Although he is an Army Builder character so I can make as many as I want with subtle changes.

Making Jammer look different to the GI Joe Stalker figure isn't easy. Of all the repaints in the Action Force line it was the one with the least changes. The transfer on his chest (along with all transfers I use on my figures) comes from Bad Mother Tattoos.

I don't like using the Marauder Armoured legs but I thought that they made sense for a minesweeper.

Over time I have decided that I do not like the harness I used on Steeler, although obviously it does come from the Hasbro figure, so I will be looking to change it at some point (but I have other figures to make first)
