Has anyone on Shapeways or anything that you guys are aware of, made a better set of wings for Nemesis Enforcer, maybe even some of the Arm Blades as well? I just picked up a complete figure at a toy fair, and while I wanted this figure for a while, now that I have it, I am slightly disappointed in the wings, especially now that I know they are made of an extremely flimsy rubber that doesn't even sit in his back hole firmly. I mainly want these items so I can properly display him on my shelf in his fully nostalgic glory. Especially with the wings spread out on the silhouette picture.

Boss Fight Studios have wings for their gargoyle figure but not quite as big though.

Reason why I brought up shapeways, and 3D Printing, is I much prefer to use a backpack peg for the wings yet, that way I don't need to use some possible permanent mod to the figure.

Have you seen the 25th version? It's and arm gauntlets and wings are much better...

I really do miss those comic packs back in 2008.
Nemesis Immortal was a great figure, but Lt Falcon (v4)… not so much (needed improvement). G.I. Joe, issue 8, “Showdown at the Top of the World” is the only comic I own with Nemesis Enforcer appearing. Zeoinx, I have never tried attaching the 25th anniv. gauntlets/wings to the vintage figure, but these pictures will give you an idea of what it might look like using the suggestions made by Foreddyn and Xerofall. 1987 Nemesis Enforcer with Boss Fight Studios gargoyle figure wings… but mounting the wings would required drilling two small holes in the back of the torso. 1987 Nemesis Enforcer with 2008 Nemesis Immortal wings… but mounting the wings might require damage to the 2008 wing(backpack) piece.

Another option would be the wings from the X-men character Archangel. Those are pretty cool, metallic armor looking. Very different from the more bat-like wings NE has canonically, but I always thought that change would look nice. Tougher, sleeker, more useful...

I mean, could you imagine Hasbro rereleasing every figure, and vehicle exactly as they were made years ago. I would JUMP on that provided they dont make the price points ridiculous. Hell, I might even try for a complete collection. I know for a fact I'd get the Cobra Momba, GIJoe Snowcat, Subzero, Snow Outfit Stalker, 2 Vipers (For the Momba Flight Pods) and large amount of figures at the very least. |
