I like the original Croc Master better. He's always been my favorite GI-Joe right after Snake Eyes. Cool Transforming Croc though.

you don't like the stingray skin vest

.... He basically is the original croc master, just with a different torso and updated head. I felt like the original head looked too much like a guy with a black skin cap on...

yeah, maybe it's just nostalgia man. I love those 25th anniversary GI-Joes. Only a couple of them needed customizing. I do like that vest, just always liked Croc master even with his ski mask. I always thought about throwing Cobra commander with a squad of his troops into a Mos Eisely diorama.

I've taken a bunch of WIP shots so far to show you the progress. I'm realy happy with how it turned out. I have it finished but I'm waiting for the paint to dry to take photos...

here are the WIP shots:

as you can see from the previous WIP pics I've done basically the same thing other customizers have done and kit bashed the snake armor over the iron monger and cut out the faceplate so that it's removable. I did go the extra step and filled in the cut section of the removable plate with apoxie sculpt so that it fit back together better.

I also cut the thumb on the right hand off and adjusted it's placement so that it could better hold a weapon.

ok enough talk, on to the awesomeness:

I realy wish I'd have had one more of those 6 stickers... i'd have loved to put it right in the center of the figure so that the number read "6 6 6".... but oh well.

so what do yall think? good? no? what should I do different or add?

actually I'm not the first person over there to do this mod. Two other guys had done this kit bash over there and that's where I got the idea. They liked it though, noone had done this particular paint deco yet.

I plan on doing a second one since this one turned out so well. it will have added firepower, and be bristling with weapons and have a camo paint deco.

This combination looks great. I don't think a sword alone would take one of these out. On the front page.

what started out as me just trying to do a few simple modifications to the MU black widow figure turned into a much bigger project.

I started out only wanting to fix the elbow joint and give her some exposed cleavage (who doesn't enjoy that?).

but once I got to working with the figure I realy wanted some extra detail on the legs... so I threw on a pair of agent helix legs and painted the hips to match the grey legs... then I got to looking at the figure and the stock head that comes with it just looks undersized to me so I threw together a new head. the head is agent helix with the hair from a baroness fig (I think).
I had to do a little sculpting on the forehead of the helix head to get the hair to sit right and look decent so there is a little wrinkling there that I'm disapointed in... everything else I'm realy happy with though.
