Just getting into customising Marauder action figures, well actually I kinda did get some a year and a half ago but only recently got serious deep into them. Before that was customising GI Joe, Action Force, Star Wars, Marvel and DC of 1:18 as well as many other scales and lines/brands, buying too.

Okay, only got a few pics so far, in the process of doing others, I’ll also have to find the GI Joe Marauder customs I have from about a year and a half ago and post them too as well as vehicles I have and have gotta find in my attic/loft.

First up’s Black Major from the Red Shadows, a ‘Geared Up Alley Viper MTF’, call him Shadow Viper, I thought Red Viper but it sounded kinda weird and stupid lol. Anyways simple custom, just made Red Shadow skull patches on both arms and painted his phone/walkie talkie. Finally, Z-Force Wheels, though thinking I might just have him as a Z-Force Trooper, but Wheels for now, not normally the radio guy, he has a radio, might change that up but for now, he’s got one.

Next up is SAS Sparrow Hawk, was gonna use a modern GI Joe backpack but I had the vintage Action Force parachute already and it looked so much better for Sparrow Hawk so kept that for him.

Nice work all-around, especially using the Star Wars bunker façade.

Good to see you posting some of your customs, look forward to seeing more.

Clever use of the cast Cross Country head for Wheels, you are right that Wheels and the Infantry Trooper were pretty much the same figure but I think this head works best for Wheels.

That grey camo body works really well for Sparrowhawk, and with that vintage parachute is very reminiscent of the toy we grew up with.

And you know I always love me some Red Shadows!

Always loved that bunker.

Your figures are looking great, really using those new camo builds to perfection. Definitely think you made the right call with Sparrow Hawk, I love that parachute rig on him. Would be awesome to have him hanging with the chute open. Great start to the thread, can’t wait to see more!

The vintage AF parachute works perfectly for SAS Sparrow Hawk, beautiful custom!

Then Z-Force Wheels, Black Major and Shadow Viper looks awesome!! I'm planning a Black Major myself so it's nice to see additional recreations of the character here. Keep them coming!!

Awesome, thank you AF

Yeah, your right, that head does fit better for Wheels than a basic trooper, I’m thinking though he needs his trademark red pouches like the vintage figure had, gonna have to buy some or maybe paint some red, a darker red maybe? But yeah, gonna need them red pouches for Wheels I think.

Ahhhh I remember throwing Sparrowhawk up in the air all the time as a kid, with the parachute of course, it was him and the vintage US paratrooper as well, that’s one vintage Palitoy AF figure I haven’t come across again yet, well not with the parachute with him anyways. Not worth much but that vintage US figure was pretty cool at the time, still is, they both are.

Many thanks for your comments AF, really appreciate it and keep up the awesome work dude, really enjoy your posts!

For one Red Shadow to another, me too, loves a bit of Red Shadows lol!
