And continuing with my obsession for obscure characters is Skystriker (http://www.yojoe.com/action/88/skystriker.shtml), the guy who obviously didn't get the memo about what the name of the Joe team's main fighter jet was This guy was always a guilty favorite, because mainly I loved the Wild Weasel mold, and it was cool to get an "original" character in Tiger Force, so when Wild Weasel came out in a 2-Pack,for the 25th line, I HAD to jump at the chance.
This guy uses the Wild Weasel body (natch!) as well as that awful Ace head. I had to go in and tone down 25th Ace's "crazy eyes", as well as dremel the hole in Ace's head a bit deeper to fit the Wild Weasel body. I never liked the helmet from Thunder they gave the original, so I gave him a helmet from a V vs. Venom Ace I had. Throw on some paint, and voila! Here it is folks: |

That looks great. Gives me some motivation to redo Ace. The 25th Wild Weasel looks awesome, looks like a real pilot; I can't stand the current astronaut look.

He looks great, but I'm clueless when it comes to most of the post 1987 stuff. Thank you for providing the yojoe.com link. It helps old farts like me to know who I'm supposed to be looking at.

Beautiful job. I always liked that guy because he seemed to be the tiger that the rest of the tiger force joined.

Compliments appreciated, guys! It keeps me motivated to do more and get better. Until the 25th line, I hadn't customized a GI Joe figure in nearly 12 years. It's been really fun. And for you Shogi, here's a pic with the helmet on :
