Here it is! This was my FIRST custom Joe since the 25th line began, but I just never knew how to finish the figure until recently! He just sat in my custom drawer waiting to get finished, but there were so many parts that would have required so much sculpting and painting... I knew from experience that patience was the best way go get the results I wanted, so I waited until now to find the right combo of parts.
So, what we have here is a serious mix of old and new! Head: Star Wars Rebel Guard Body: 25th Beachhead Legs: RoC exclusive Doc Accessories: Armor from Star Wars Jango Fett figure (or something similar), Helmet from Star Wars A-Wing pilot, Belt from some Star Wars alien figure. Gauntlets were modified from a Kubrick "Alien" movie figure. I think the reason I chose to make Backstop fist wasn't because of some super-patriotic crap people migh t assume, but rather, because I sincerely doubted Hasbro would update him! That, and I had the Persuader on display with 25th figures with no driver. Now, not only have I updated Backstop, but I've painted and restored his ride as well! 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...ast-prowl.html . http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...neak-peek.html . http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ero-prowl.html . http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ml#post2239346 . http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...p-s-prowl.html . http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...all-prowl.html . http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...out-prowl.html . http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...top-prowl.html . http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...der-prowl.html . http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...aft-prowl.html Gung-Ho http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...-ho-prowl.html Covergirl (and Covergirl) http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...een-prowl.html Jungle HISS http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...amo-prowl.html Rampart http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...h-rampart.html Recoil http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...oil-prowl.html Ambush http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ush-prowl.html

A nicely done update... And you don't see too many of Backstop, so this is rather refreshing. Nice job, man!
