The bandolier I made from the 2009 5 pack Snake Eyes bandolier and the Uzi shoulder strap of the 25th Knife chest Snake Eyes with the knife from one of the 25th Crimson Twins.

The backpack is a heavily modified TRU Troop builder pack Duke version. It's the same as the Desert Assault Duke. I cut a chunk out of the middle, cut the insertion post out and glued in a new one a little higher within the pack. The straps for the Uzi are made from plastic banding for bead jewelry that got from Michaels. I think the most famous brand of this is called flex rex.

The belt is from the Target Rescue Mission Snake Eyes modified with the same plastic banding I used for the Uzi straps on the backpack.

To make a lot of this work you need a dremel and especially some good glue meant for all plastics. I use Surehold Plastic Surgery.


This was a commissioned custom I made for Darkfire on the Joe Customs forum. He wanted a Snake Eyes done in Robert Atkins IDW design. I couldn't pass this up. After all Snake Eyes is my favorite Joe. As you can see here he's pretty accurate. Darkfire and I agreed he should have a sidearm so I gave him a holster in pace of his right thigh pouch.
The greatest part about this custom for me was when Robert Atkins saw it, wrote about it in his blog, and started the contest to create IDW based customs with the Joe Customs forum.

There are two different versions pictured here. The original, and another updated version that I made later.
