*update jun20* I tweaked the single card 25th Wild Bill on page 3.
So, when I got the SRO Wild Bill, I loved how he looked and the darker colors. The only things I didn't like were his mangled hands (due to the elastic in the packaging), his oversized holsters and his pin sized head. After finally getting the new Wild Bill, I have a Wild Bill I can be proud of. (if you haven't noticed yet, this is my specialty, the paintless part swaps...haha, if you don't believe me, check out what I did with my Desert 5 pack from TRU: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...pack-mods.html) Anyways, on to Wild Bill: Helmet: 21st Century Huey pilot Hands and head: ROC Wild Bill Holsters: Removed the holsters and trimmed them down and then reglued them back on rest of figure: SROII Wild Bill

The left over ROC Wild Bill parts and his vest screamed aviator to me and I was never happy with any of the Ace's released. (the white comic pack one didn't have any flight gear cause of his space helmet and the SROII one didn't really do it for me as his upper half was just Wild Weasel). Well, I finally have a nice pilot Ace that I'm happy with.
Parts: head: SROII Ace hands: 25th Wild Bill (single pack) leg harness: Pilot Destro helmet and mask: BBI F-18 pilot rest of figure: ROC Wild Bill

The cool thing though is that the hat is still the same size as the original. They sculpted the hair in a way so that the old sized hat still fits. However, the helmet doesn't fit anymore so I used the Huey pilot one I had.
Also, the other thing I never realized before was that the colors actually complement each other as the Wild Bill and Ace now look almost like they are from the same unit but with different specialties (ie. helo and fixed wing pilot)

Awesome. That Ace is a vast improvement over the ones released by Hasbro.

Awesome work as always Nighty!
Your swap-outs and mods really give these guys a "real world" feel. Great use of parts. I agree that Ace is miles better than the original.
