5th out 6 new customs....
Well ... the inspiration for this one came to me when I was looking to my stock of available modern era heads and thought "What can I do with this Torch head!??". I was also looking to make brazilian exclusives figures that were special in some manner to me and then I was... "hmm .. a little more beard and hair ... color it white ... yeah!! it can be a Forasteiro ! " Then I remembered .... "He has that stylized tiger face in his shirt... that will bring me pain... " I went ahead and the result is what you see... I know it isn't perfect (that gorram WHITE teeth was the worst part!) but I am real happy with how it turned out. For those of you not familiar with the original figure here it goes ... YO JOE BRAZIL - TODOS DIREITOS RESERVADOS - 1992 - Comando de Resgates de Alto Risco YOJOE.COM | Tiger Force Outback (UK/Europe) I just don't think of him as Outback but as a different character ... here's a little background for him. Forasteiro (Outlander, High Risk Rescue Commando) The Sgt. Slaughter's renegades are a group of loyal but freelancers operatives spread around the world and Forasteiro is the man you call when you have hostage situations in the worst environments and scenarios. Jungles, swamps, mountains, cities ... it doesn't really matter ... alone or co-ordinating a team ... he will do job. Recondo, Dusty, Alpine and other environment specialists from the official joe team had something to learn from this not-that-old white haired outlander. Note: His backpack is a gift from Daina of The Oktober Guard, she gave it to him after a successful rescue mission in her homeland. -------------------------------------- My other customs here: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...one-letal.html http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...-tf-letal.html http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ice-letal.html http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...tor-letal.html http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ill-letal.html http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...erg-letal.html http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...out-letal.html http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ton-letal.html http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...25th-arah.html http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...different.html http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...th-custom.html |

That looks great. I like the idea of him being a different character, instead of just a white-haired Outback with a wacky t-shirt. Nice part choices, too. I'd buy him if they put him out today.

Cool, he looks great with sunglasses. And "tiger face paint" on his shirt turned out very good.
