So much drama 'n the LBCs

I basically bought the Rise of Cobra TRU exclusive Joe 5-pack for the Dial-Tone. But ended up with a set of 3-4 fairly solid characters.
Once I tore them apart and reassembled them, that is. Repeater is a Joe I don't even remember from my childhood. But after seeing how damn close I could get without any paint by just Frankenjoe-ing parts from the 5-pack, he soon became a lot cooler to me. The camo's not right, but it's close enough.

Looks exactly like the one I did except I used a different backpack. Now, I think I gotta copy you and use that backpack. Never thought of using it.

Just did this today and Googled to see if anyone else had done this. Should have figured MR would have already nailed it.
I'm really thinking this 5-pack was a way for Hasbro designers to get some needed parts out to us. Anyway, I did the same as Mandingo, except I used the brown vest from Footlose, gray gloves from the set's Repeater and the green backpack from 25th Arctic Snake Eyes. The vest required a little carving to get it to get it to line up right with the back peg hole, but overall, I'm pleased. I actually like the use of Airborne's backpack on this, but I didn't want to paint anything. Last edited by ero; 01-08-2011 at 01:45 AM.. Reason: Changed "Law" to "Footloose." |
