He looks very cool and stoic but seems like he'd have less agility with all the gear. I'm mixing forms, but seems like he'd be more samurai than ninja ... but still looks cool! The lighting is effective, too.

It's definitely a different take on the character, I've come around to it a bit. It further separates the two versions in a cool way imo.

I'm fine with how it sits honestly, my bigger problem is the overall shape being so tight.

It is very tight I wished they would use a hood more like the Arctic SS had not quite as big but a little bit more room for the head ..

And you?re right it does separate them it?s nice that they are not similar @ all except that bow ..
When is SS going to come with nunchuks the Arah ver 1 had them , I want some non ornamental looking chuks .. anyone else

First up is Scarlett. I add some of the female Steel Brigade gear to her, the quiver from her classified release and grunts helmet. The helmet actually fits perfect even with the ponytail in.



I wanted to modernize my Quick kick a bit but still stay faithful to the initial design. commando Snake-eyes legs and gear with the vest from grunt.




With Storm Shadow I took some ques from the Mezco version and add more black into the design. Gear was taken form the artic SS, red ninja and Steel Brigade.




Low Light I added the action solider vest and grunts belt. The vest I will change at some point. the vest with the pouches is to bulky to get a good snipe pose from. Looking forward to the action marine to see what out of her gear I can use with Low Light.



Shipwreck is using parts from the action Sailor.



Dusty parts are from the Action Solider



Crimson Guards with the Viper vest and Alley Viper shield. Mr Hebime did this before and I always loved the looked. He used the crimson vipers vest which I do prefer but I had a bunch of extra vipers from the three pack.




Heavy Artillery Destro was made using the Siege body with parts from CI Firefly and the Steel Brigade. I based it off the V27 which besides the original design is my favorite.



And finally Cobra Mortal who was made from airborne and alpha commando Snake-eyes. I love the obscure foreign characters and hope to see more sprinkled through out the line.

Some great work there! I?ll be ?borrowing? a few of your ideas 👊😁

Was messing about with the dye and tossed in an extra Metal Head. Did not need the parts for another project, so put together an IG Scrap Iron with leftovers. Staring at it Sunday afternoon, I think he would have looked better without the dye to make him stand out from "everyday" Scrap Iron.



Also wanted to see what was under Scrap Iron's vest and ended up with a nice Cobra out of all his gear. A more casual look.

That does look better. Now I'll need to keep an eye out for another Metal Head junker. Low priority as classic blue and red Scrap Iron is pretty good (and I don't need that many of the same dude on my limited shelf space).
