was anyone else super disappointed that Sneak peeks helmet had NO stripes on it like the original figure? anyone have any ideas how to add them? I was thinking about just painting them on like I did with my sneak peek custom years ago (check out my customs in the link below)but there is no way I can get each side to perfectly match and I'm not about to mess up an expensive exclusive figure. Anyone else's thoughts on this??

Almost every figure released that is an update of the originals has had some changes simply because creating an exact carbon copy of the 80s figures would make it difficult for the parts to be reuseable.
If you want to do it my best suggestion would be to cut painters tape down to size, and line up two stripe with that so that they are symmetrical, paint, then remove painters tape. |

I like the build but until I can settle on a head swap that I like and a better helmet this is an incomplete figure. Maybe I'm being to picky but it seems like I'm making slight modifications to every figure the Club puts out. They are getting a bit lazy on parts re-use, etc.
It's not a horrible choice but that head/helmet is overused.

I've almost had to do some mods on the club figures. Redid Salvo's gear and straightened his leg. Gave Charbroil hoses from his helmet to harness.
To OP, if you don't want to paint Sneak Peek's bhelmet, then get a hold of Rollbar's. Same helmet but may be a slightly different shade of grey. Don't have my Sneak Peek yet so can't compare.

Another option is stickers.
The Z-Force logo on Jammer chest and Gaucho's hat are from the Sand Serpent plane. They are from the over-print part after removing the actual sticker. Don't know how well it would stick to curved surfaces though.

To be honest paint might be your best bet. But if you really don't want to do that I would suggest some water slide decals. You can Buy a kit for about $15ish and make the decals yourself or If you would prefer to just buy some premade. I would get in touch with Badmothercustoms on ebay. If you let him know exactly what you want and send him some pics he will custom make a set for you. Oh and you have some great customs in your pics!!!!

Variation on your idea. When not use a good, high quality red tape take to make the stripes. Cut well with an X-acto knife it would look great, and easy to remove for an exclusive figure if there was ever a concern.
https://www.amazon.com/Gardner-Bende...RED+TAPE&psc=1 thanks for all the ideas guys!i was thinking this might be the best idea but then again i doubt it would stick very well to a rounded surface like a helmet. plus not sure how well the color would match up.
