Hey guys,
Here's one of my latest customs— it's my take on a 25th Anniversary version of Airtight. Airtight is my favorite joe (hence my name), and I had originally been reserved at making him in fear that he wouldn't come out right, but I finally gave it a go. The look and parts choice for this figure was derived vastly from a version of Airtight I saw that was done by a customizer named "Slaughters Marauders", who used a great choice of parts and I have mimicked that quite closely here. I took my custom a step further, however, and supplied the figure with a cartoon-accurate head! Unlike many other customizers, I am not a fan of strictly adhering to every single pointless detail of the original figure's design, and I instead enjoy the challenge of using newer parts and unique designs coupled with familiar color schemes to achieve a solid look with a new and much more modern-looking "skin". Hope you guys enjoy him and I'd love to hear your feedback. Thanks! -Airtight Last edited by Air-tight; 03-20-2012 at 12:11 PM.. |

The receding hairline is the perfect touch. I always felt it was part of his iconic character. Love it!
