Hey Tankers!!!
I'm not a really big fan of the 25th version of Leatherneck. Leatherneck is a character I always liked. And the vintage figure is one of my favorites. So when the new 25th version came out I was like...WTF!!! The desert theme is cool, but the frankenjoe design was horrible. It took awhile to grow on me. Then came the ROC desert ambush duke. I just had to get it. Why? of course, for a fast custom. I took the desert Duke head off and swapped it with the desert Leatherneck head. And Voila!!! Modern day desert Leatherneck that looks like a real Marine...Semper Fi !!!! The only real problem I have with this simple custom is that Leatherneck is now a short stocky looking MOFO. Why are some of these ROC figures shorter in stature.....I'll never know. The desert ambush duke body will work with any head swap since it's universal. It just looks cool as Leatherneck to me.

Great Head Swap. Easy, but it looks really good. Nice job.

dsrader- thanks, your the man!!!
hectoramirez- LOL...I thought the same thing too at first. Maybe it's his square jaw and chin!!! Everyone knows that its Gung ho, but what a big difference black hair makes. IMO...the black hair does make this head sculpt look more like Leatherneck. oliverbox- yup, very easy head swap. I have 10 desert dukes lying around. Waiting for the big day when the ROC 5 packs come out at TRU. I plan on using the desert duke body and helmet for Footloose. Thanks by the way. |
