Hi! My name is Joe, I've been a customizer for a while, and recently I came into ownership of a crate of Sigma 6 figures. I loved the line, and it was great to get them. A lot of them were missing accessories or damaged. So I'm working over time to repair, rejuvinate, and fix them up to look snazzy or new all together.
Snake Eyes came with no accessories, a busted leg, and an odd off green paint job. I swapped his head onto a Duke Body with some Stone parts. I happened to still have the swords from my old Snake Eyes. I attached a picture of him before and after paint. Also, I found the addition of 5 Duke toys in the box to be... silly, so I'm working on converting 2 of them into Snow Job and Wetsuit. I don't have pictures of Wetsuit, but here's an early shot of how Snowjob is turning out. I've got a total of 14 figures in the work, and I thought Hiss Tank would be the best place to get opinions and commentary. |

Welcome!
I never collected the Sigma Six stuff outside of a couple figures. I have always found them interesting though, just limited on the amount of characters. For that reason, I always find it cool when I see customs of them. I like what I see so far.

The current plan is:
- Snake Eyes - Snow Job - Wetsuit - Storm Shadow - Old Snake from MGS4 - Unspecific Female Joe I'm kind of tinkering with more ideas, but I'd totally love any suggestions for characters. I literally have 3 more Duke figures just waiting to be made into someone else. |

I liked Sigma 6. I grabbed any and everyone I could. Maybe you could get Mercer out of Duke. Beachhead is a favorite. Lowlight? There are literally hundreds to choose from.
I like that Snow Job! |

Thanks for the comments guys! Here's some shots of a more finalized Snow Job. I feel like he's missing something, but overall I'm happy.
A small goal is to give all the Joe characters a standardized side arm. I liked Duke's pistol, and I somehow ended up with about 10 of them. So I've been altering them slightly to look like a more rugged and handy side arm. Also, here's some shots of Wetsuit's new hair cut and early paint apps. I kind of wanted him to look like a bit of a skeevy guy, so I tried to make his hair slicked back, also going to try and change his complexion just a tad. After this, I'm debating Destro or Storm Shadow. |

Eh, its just practice really, I've been trying to customize action figures since I was like 15. Super glue and model paints are the best place to start. :P
I'm hoping I'll have all of them done up and ready for sale in a month or two. I'm gonna just set them all at a set price point of around $35. |

Just a little update. Wetsuit is drying or I would have taken a picture of him. I started work on Old Snake. A good moustache, eyepatch, and bandanna start. I also have all but the chest peg sanded off and filled in now.
