Head, neck and arms: Star Wars Clone Trooper (in training togs)
Rest of figure: 25th Anniversary Snake Eyes

Harness: modified parachute from SpyTroops Lady Jaye
Helmet: modified Comic Pack (ARAH) Breaker
Bazooka: Microman accessory


I'm an impatient guy. One of the first things I did when the new 25th Joes came out was to grab up as many Snake Eyes as I could, with my ultimate intent being to fill the gaps in Hasbro's rereleases of the rest of the original 13.

I made Hawk, Breaker and Grunt pretty much right away...and Hasbro released or announced their versions (which have replaced the customs in my collection) shortly thereafter. So I decided to switch things up a bit and focus on the characters I thought it might be a while before we saw from the big H.

Short Fuze and Zap seemed like logical choices since they share the same basic uniform as Hawk and Grunt. And they seemed like they might have more shelf life because Hasbro would have to tool a new harness accessory for them (and we've seen future releases taking us out through Spring already).

That harness, as it turns out, was the hardest part of the figure. Once that was done, it was just a matter of transplanting the Star Wars neck onto the body (okay, so that was no cake walk either) and painting him up in a scheme that complimented the original figure's.

The bazooka accessory was just a lucky find on my part.
