So much drama 'n the LBCs

**UPDATE FARTHER DOWN THE PAGE**
(I kept the originals in for archival sake) I am not a big fan of Law & Order, but after getting the Rise of Cobra Joe 5-pack from Toys R Us, and realizing I had most of the parts to make him "right," it really became a big goal of mine to "fix" him. Here he is, as close to ARAH glory as I could get him with as little paint as possible. Anymore, I like to keep my customs as "playable" as possible.

Recipe:
Head, helmet, nightstick, Order: Rise of Cobra TRU 5-pack Law & Order Torso, upper arms: Air Viper (elbows modded) Upper Legs: Rise of Cobra "Rampage" (Heavy Metal) (2 left legs) Lower Legs, Lower Arms: Cobra Island 7-pack Outback Vest: SRO Wild Bill Belt: Modified CP Storm Shadow harness (top part removed) Dog Leash: Mutt & Junkyard I really wanted to keep him as paint-free as possible, and the colors of the legs matched up perfectly. All I had to paint was the crotch, vest, flesh on the upper arms, and I sculpted/painted an arm band and put a decal for the MP. I would really like a white helmet, but for now, I'm okay with it "reversed" as it is (being black with white lettering, and not vice versa like the vintage figure). |

Thanks fellas. Forgot about the Law thread. Haha. If anyone's wondering, it's been about 4 months since my last custom and I shot all of them at once while I had everything all set up.
BTW thanks to SnakeEyes00 for the Air Viper torso! |

Sorry for the bump, but it was a significant edit that really helped to "round out" Law & Order. I hate the vintage animals paired with the modern sculpt figures, so I quickly grew tired of Order that came with the TRU set. So I saw the one from Alyosha's store and painted him up just like a real German Shepherd, and added the all-white MP helmet (adding my own decal to the front).
It completes my 25th Law and Order finally. |
