Here's another custom Wet Suit.
The recipe is my own. Most people went for a different helmet. I felt the Eel helmet more closely resembled the original figure. I also swapped out the arms and hands, as I hated the long-sleeved look. I had kingphilbert paint the head for me, who did an exceptional job matching the yellow to the accessories! Recipe: Helmet: Eel Forarms: Flint's arms, but from a different figure, I can't remember which one Hands: Torch Enjoy! This one is also currently for sale, $15

He looks great! Most Wet-Suit customs I've seen have used the 25th Viper knees and lower legs. While this is more accurate to the vintage figure, I don't really dig the way it looks. I think I prefer yours.

never thought of using an eel helmet, looks great. may i humbly suggest painting the lower legs black. lots of folks swapped them out, but i found just painting them works pretty well w/ minimal paint wear and tear.

http://www.yojoe.com/action/86/86card/wetsuit.jpg I've been thinking about using that indiana jones guard figure that has bare legs to try to come up with a version of Wet-Suit that matches the card art. I really dig your version of wet-suit though! I hadn't thought about using an eel helmet. I may have to try that myself. |

I really dig the use of that helmet man! I need to hurry up and finish mine. I used pretty much the same recipe, but I used pit commando hands instead.

Well, here's a figure I had no intention of customizing until I saw this thread. Nice work.
