I was perusing eBay this morning and I found a few auctions for the unreleased POC Arctic Duke figure, which I really dig. Unfortunately, all of auctions are lacking the big coat.
So this got me thinking: yesterday at Marshalls I found a ROC Arctic Snake Eyes, who has a big removeable coat. What do you guys think, would Arctic Duke look good with Arctic Snake Eyes coat? I am thinking I am going to have to cut the hood off, but otherwise I think this will be a good solution. (It also nets me the ice axe to give to Ice Storm) For reference: G.I. Joe: The Pursuit of COBRA - Duke (Arctic Threat) G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA - Arctic Snake Eyes Thoughts?

PoC Snow Job has a similar coat and more gear than SE.
Snow Job has no hood, and since it has the RIA underneath armor too, you'll be sure it will work on Duke for sure.

Yeah, but I can find Arctic Snake Eyes for $3 at Marshalls right now. This would be a cheaper (and easier) route.

Btw, if you remove SE's visor, he has sculpted eyes (unpainted, tho), so the head can be used for a masked character or something (and not a total waste). The backpack can be dismantled, and the bag with the ropes is perfect for Hit n Run ;) .

Buy yourself a Capt. America First Avenger with the open winter coat. Looks a lot better and you can put gear on the figure that is still visible after you put on the coat.

A good thought, Selkirk. Doesn't net me the ice axe I need for Ice Storm, but a good idea indeed...

I picked up the Ice Viper on Ebay for around $4.00 and used his coat. I referred to the tutorial below but I cut our the neck piece.

Well, I picked up Arctic Snake Eyes (2 of them, in fact, in case I like the figure, heh!). So once I get Arctic Threat Duke we can see how it goes and I'll post some pics.

I don't seem to have taken any photos of it, but I used the PoC Desert Zartan vest on mine. It may sound counter-intuitive, but it looks really cool.
