Arrow (TV series): jacket torso?
« on: November 05, 2012, 08:09:30 AM »
Hey guys, I’m looking for a 3 ¾” torso that features a jacket design. I checked the YoJoe dbase and I think 25th Ace, 25th Cobra Viper or ROC Zartan comes close. Each would only need minor modifications. ROC SS also has a jacket, but the zipper is not centered.

You see, I’d like to make a custom Arrow figure, based on the new TV series. Arms, legs and hood won’t be a problem. In fact, ROC Zartan’s legs will do nicely and other Zartan versions can provide the hood. So can TVC Darth Sidious.



But the choice of torso isn’t final yet. Any thoughts?

Thanks :)

I wonder if any of the new Hobbit 3 and 3/4 figs might have a torso that looks something like this? Legolas perhaps?

Thanks Shawn, I checked out those figures, but they're just that much too..... Middle Earth like. Got a few more pointers at Hisstank, most notably the Resolute 5-pack Cobra Trooper, which features a removable webgear/vest. I've also bought a 25th. Wild Bill, Cobra Air-Viper and Tomahawk, which feature the torsos from Ace and Cobra Viper, figures that are relatively harder to find and more expensive.

I've become a huge fan of using Joe bodies for my customs :)

It might Ghostskull, but I'll give those other parts a shot first. Got a bunch of Wild Billls and Tomahawks from ws_toys yesterday! They were out of Air Vipers, unfortunately, but I think these will work great.
