Mad thanks to fellow tanker Lody for hookin' me up with the impossible to find Sandstorm and Tan Ram. After i got this i decided to tune him upa bit using the Sandstorm head and vest from PoC Zartan/Raptor. The helmet fits PERFECTLY over the Sandstorm head and it just makes the figure seem cooler with the unmasked head and not such a Hasbro slaptogether. So here is SANDSTORM with the Desert Ram.

I did this, too, but I didn't even then to put the helmet on his head. That makes him even more awesome. Nice!

Thanks. I figured many folks might do this when/if they got him.
Thank you. thanks. You should man...the swap gives the character actually personality rather than justa recolored franken joe. Quote:
Thanks. I wasn't sure if the helmet woudl actually fit but it seems to fit the knit cap head BETTER than the brown firefly head.

All I did for my sandstorm was, put the head on a POC dusty body and give the figure the black jacket. I like this custom as well, but prefer mine. Too bad I don't have a Ross around me.

Nice! I like the simple fixes!
Looks like it was Hasbro SHOULD'VE done. Kinda frustrating that a little imagination and some spare parts can fix their laziness.

If anybody makes this custom and has the brown Firefly-style head that comes with Sandstorm for trade or sale, please PM me.
