Ahh, Lightfoot. Like many characters who also seem to have an affinity for the color yellow, the big conundrum was this: how do you make a custom of a figure in yellow WITHOUT using paint? So many customizer's projects either are unposable ('cause the paint will come off of the joints), or just look off because of the properties of yellow paint itself. Well, this is the first of many "yellow" customs using the Marvel AIM Soldier body to much success; without the need to use paint, the figure is 100% playable (something I strive for with my work).
The character always seemed interesting to me. I fondly recall his appearance in the Marvel run when he fought alongside the original 'Joe' Colton. I admit I don't have his original accessories, except the helmet. I don't know if I will get them, though. I may come up with a more modern version of his robot thingy. But, until then, enjoy! Head: RoC Lamprey Body: Marvel AIM Soldier with sculpted elements. Hope you enjoyed this figure!

Oh yes, Airtight is on my shortlist of 'yellow' customs, but have you considered the vaunted Secto-Viper?!
