Gung-Ho... One of the earliest 25th adversary figures we got. A figure which... left something to be desired, as it was. Funky arms, strange head, and an unusual skin tone never seen before or again!
My biggest complaint was that the figure's cap didn't resemble a Marine Corps cap, a fact I complained loudly about (which seems to have fallen on deaf ears, or at least woefully ignorant ones), and at the very least, it wasn't even removable. The recent influx of lackluster ROC figures, however, provided many customizers with a steady influx of parts to do what we saw fit to do! With that, I give you, what I consider to be, the greatest Gung-Ho custom. Ever. Don't let the sensitive camera lense fool you, that is as perfect a skin tone match you could hope for! Here he is looking totally BADASS! Taking aim... Parts: Head: ROC Duke head from unknown exclusive set. Body & legs: comic pack Gung-Ho Vest:25th boxed set Gung-Ho Lower arms: comic pack Rock'n'Roll w/ Resolute Duke hands (I think) Hat: Terminator Salvation 'Barnes' figure, modified.

Of course, the hat is also removable!
"Gonna find me a snake and skin it!" And one final shot. Don't forget the SOB got his bones as a brawler and knife fighter before joining the Marines! Gotta wonder if having a name like "Etienne" had something to do with teaching him how to fight, huh? Hope you enjoyed this figure! Please feel free to check out some of my most recent figures while you're at it! http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...een-prowl.html http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...amo-prowl.html http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...h-rampart.html

The hat came from Sgt. Barnes or whatever (the Terminator Salvation figure). I simply cut if off and hollowed it out. The moment I saw that figure on clearance I bought a few and knew exactly where one of them was going!
I still feel it's the closest representation of a Marine Corps cap available, even though a lot of work was involved to get the desired result. Oh, for what it's worth, that mustache is SCULPTED on, not just painted. It probably doesn't show up as well in the pics, though. |

That's a Dukey head, you guessed it! I actually sanded down the hair (it was cast in flesh tone plastic) to get it bald, then sculpted a mustache on him.
