First up today is a Lamprey. Maybe he's 'Stealth Lamprey' ... maybe he's just a Moray gunner? Hm. Don't know yet. I do know that I've got some strange affection for Lamprey figures. I don't know why - we never had one as kids -- heck, maybe that's the reason right there? Anyway, I've collected a few of these figures, but even more random parts of these figures, here and there. I reckon that as long as the figure has a Lamprey torso & helmet, it's a Lamprey.
In this case, I added some spare Eel arms, and (I believe) CORPS waist & legs. Normally I like to cut the stock off the gun & add a sling, but I ran out of time last night ...

//i think i'm going to experiment this custom celebration with watered-down modge podge as a brush-on finish -- you can see where the different plastics have taken on the matte spray finish and become 'shiny' -- especially jarring on Jensen's legs ...

thoughts?

I like the team. Wish you had a cowboy hat to use but the fedora works pretty good in its place.

wouldn't POC Recondo's hat get you half way there?

Nice customs again, and I really am enjoying these. You know, if you wanted to update your Lamprey love to the modern era, the removable helmets that come with some of the Star Wars (B-wing maybe?) pilots, look remarkably close to that head.

Really digging the Losers customs - I guess I need to watch the flick and/or read the comics now.

thanks for the thoughts, guys!

drb - true on recondo, but i started this fig way back before that fig was available, and one thing i forgot to mention about this 'way back machine' idea is that i'm going to try to complete the figs using the original wips/ideas as much as possible -- hence, i stuck with the indy hat here -

Tim - thanks for the clarification! when i stick this in the archive, i will not sound as stupid!

Chief - start with the comic... all are available in trade form - 5 star recommendation!
