Chest: '85 Frostbite
Arms, legs: '92 Shockwave
Waist: '88 Blizzard


Design:

This is another GI Joe Collector's Club figure/character that I like, but I won't pay eBay prices to get one. Instead, I made a custom in ARAH format that roughly catches the feel of the GIJCC version. As with my Freestyle and Crimson Asp figures, I worked in a different format than the original figure to avoid making an "imitation" figure instead of a true custom. The head was a given and the legs are very close to the GIJCC design. The rest of the parts aren't as close, but still work fairly well.

Colors:

Based on the GIJCC figure. Because the pocket on the arm has a flap on it, I wasn't able to print a "decal" to apply, so it had to be hand-painted. Not as crisp, but pretty good.

Modifying & Sculpting:

I narrowed the corners/edges of the jaw to look closer in appearance to the GIJCC figure (based on Hasbro's own Derryl DePriest). This also helped alter the appearance away from that of the cartoonishly squared-jaw M. Bison.

Thanks for looking.
