I've been converting all my slit wrist figures to short sleeve ones. I used Recondo's arms for my Leatherneck and modified Leatherneck's sleeve and converted my Recondo to short sleeve. The arms are Flint's and the sleeve cuff is from the AWE Striker Leatherneck. I've also fixed up my Falcon arms too. You can see some of my other conversions in the background. Let me know what you think.

I don't get why Recondo didn't have the proper short sleeve arms, yet H&R from the same set had long sleeves when he could have had Recondo arms at least...
Anyways, he looks good. I think G.I. Eddie used the short sleeves from the Duke in the ME "Greatest Battles" set... They're close in color, but not quite a perfect match. The Greenshirts don't bother me as much, the more "unique" guys like Recondo bugged me. |

I swapped arms on mine, put Recondo fixed arms on tan Leatherneck and put slit wrists on Recondo. To me the debate of slit vs fixed both are ok. Got all 25th/M.E.Joes both factory and custom dated from 82-84 slit wrists the 85 and on fixed arm, except Falcon cant find fixed arm that matches his shirt. Reminds me of the ARAH before 85 the heads go right to left, after that special ball joint added so heads go up and down.

Nice fix on the figures... It really makes a difference in how the figure looks. Good job!

Thanks for the comments everyone. I agree with you, I wish Hit N Run had the Recondo arms as it would have made him look more accurate.

Though I agree with the fact about Hit n' Run...Kinda funny how that was my HnR custom before the official release. Used a Tiger Force duke body and arms, with W7 SE legs, used the DVD paratrooper webgear, and did use the Airborne head and helmet, just like AOCD 7 pack hehe And since, I did the swap of the DVD Paraviper onto the official HnR
