With the latest, more realistic, Classified releases like Sprit, Tiger Force Outback, Sgt Stalker, and Cobra Officer, it seems obvious that the Hasbro Classified team has given up the ghost when it comes to the sci-fi video game interpretation of the characters. And by ?realistic?, I mean no “Joe Pros”, no laser guns and guns and armory that exist in reality. I’m glad.
Still, there are some key characters that were released with the aforementioned video game look, and I don’t want to give up on those characters; many of them being some of my all-time favorites. One of said favorites of mine since the 80s, is Beach Head. The Target Cobra Island figure as-is, isn’t terrible. There’s only a few things that bothered me:
So, in an effort to make Beach Head, who in the comic books and per his file card, is a hardcore badass scary dude, I wanted—no, NEEDED—to give this figure some “edge”. My mods:
Much better (to me at least). |

WOW! Awesome detailing! You certainly accomplished making the figure more "grittier". The green weapons are what really bothered me about the figure as well.

Thanks! I’m very pleased with the results. I don’t think I’ll have to do much to the upcoming figures like Spirit (mines coming any day now), Stalker, Recondo etc. since they appear to fit my personal criteria as-is.

Nice job, I think I would try to make him more v1. Teal wash, some grey on the top of his vest clips, unify the paint on hist balaclava, and why o why aren't his leg camo? The 50th is about perfect really.
I like what you did with his weapons. Overall, he looks pretty cool! Last edited by Adventure Fun; 07-25-2022 at 10:19 PM.. |
