Unless Hasbro makes a green shirt soon, the idea is to make a Classified Venom Snake using a Flint Body and painting the shirt. This was just a quick Photoshop of the parts listed below. The head is a ML Parker Cosmic Spiderman. The two armbands are from the CI Trooper. The forearm and hand are for a ML Ironman. The Walkman from a ML Starlord. I can't think of any 6 inch figures (other than the soft goods Aehab) that have a STABO harness. The rest of the webgear will probably need to be cobbled together. Also, Snake has a canteen. In the age of camel packs, I cant think of a figure that has a canteen. The left knee pad and the shin guards would be removed, filled and then painted over. But, just wanted to toss this up here to see what the community thinks. |

Definitely wasn't thinking Sony Walkman, but was thinking tattered half cape, maybe the armored Battle Dress Uniform, or at least the shoulder pads. Considered using Major Bludd... if I could buy one.
Also thinking about young Ocelot. Last edited by ohtani; 12-08-2021 at 02:32 AM.. |

Thanks for the comments.
Finished the render. The vest is a modified Flint with the pistol belt and holster from Duke. Looking at the new Spirit figure, wonder if it would be better to use his legs. He doesn't have shin guards to remove and there is no need to resculpt. Plus I am going to end up with a pair of Spirit legs when I make a 4th Wall. The perfect sculpted legs with the wide boot blouse is the ML Eric Killmonger but that figure doesn't have calf rotation. Going with Spirit legs and a Duke upper body would give a decent tan base. Paint rub shouldn't show as much and don't need to paint over black plastic. For his goggles, was thinking the Solo movie Black Series Chewbacca. They had clear lenses and an elastic strap. The scarf will either be a modified Jan Erso Black Series, ML Cable poncho, or make a soft goods shemagh. The mask will be from a Jazware Fortenite legendary Abstrakt. The cigarettes will be the same customs that I used for my Escape from Earth Snake. Last edited by Fly4v; 12-08-2021 at 12:32 AM.. |

Considered a Marvel Legends Gamerverse Stealth Capt America for sort of Battle Dress Uniform Venom Snake.

Here is the ML Gamerverse Stealth Captain America with an Ironman Mk3 forearm and Duke holster and cross belt.
Looking at the neck guard, armor on the legs and bulk in the torso, think that a Firefly vest, with Gamerverse Cap Arms and Zartan legs has a closer look. Just hate the idea of using an "exclusive" figure for the vest. I know Firefly has shown up in discount box stores, I just don't have any of those here. Other than that this looks like a decent figure with only a little effort. |

The neck guard and proper head make all the difference. Rolled up sleeve too for fatigues.
I hope Marauders makes a Venom Snake head with ponytail, eyepatch too. Now I'm thinking I better buy an extra Flint. Curious if you can get away with a piece of red drinking straw or red pen cap on Flint's left forearm. Last edited by ohtani; 12-14-2021 at 01:29 AM.. |

A nice 1:12 scale custom head would be nice but I already have two of the Parker heads from the Cosmic Spiderman.
As for getting an extra Flint, YES! Add in Lady Jaye also. Flint is $19 on Amazon and Lady Jaye is $13. Prices might get even lower since they have been staying in stores for sometime. But, get the leather jacketed Captain Marvel, also discounted, to make a quick Covergirl. Just too bad Dazzler (Upper Body) and the Invisible Woman (Head or just hair) are at the $30 mark each right now. |
