Since TRIER already won the internet with
his MTF version of the original gang, I decided to go in a (somewhat) different direction with mine. I had a few of these already parted out, then after seeing his awesome work, I got energized to revisit the project.
Still need parts for Breaker, Short Fuze, & Steeler - so I'm waiting to order those once I get my Marauder shopping list together.
Here's a quick breakdown of what I have so far:
Shooter: Let's be honest - the Hasbro TRU exclusive Shooter sucked. Pea-headed, horrible new torso - the only good thing was the rifle & case. A Valkyrie-based version is a no-brainer.
Grunt: need to add pouches.
Grand-Slam: still very much a WIP - debating putting silver on his body armor.
Scarlett: A blatant copy of TRIER's awesome version. But I think I might scrap the idea of a Valkyrie-based Scarlett. The Val figs are just as tall (maybe taller) than the male MTF figs, and I'm not so keen on a 6' Scarlett. Works for Shooter, but not her. Will probably just go back and tweak my previous custom.
Zap: Just slapped him together this evening. Need to draw on his 'stache and give him some gear.
Hawk: I greatly prefer v1 Hawk, so this was an easy one. Need to maybe give the head a coat of paint to match the hands, though.
Flash: still tweaking his gear.
Stalker: Pretty proud of this one - took the light camo body that I used for Zap, Clutch, & RnR and gave it a dark green wash. I have the dark camo figs, but wasn't wanting to drop more $$ on non-armored legs & arms when I already had a perfectly good base fig.
Clutch: I think he needs a bit more gear, but I like how he turned out.
Rock & Roll: pretty happy with him - went for an "homage" with the hat just because it kinda matched the outfit. -hard to see here, but he's wearing one of those MTF bullet belts and then I have a separate belt coming out of the gun - it's draped over his shoulder loosely.
SE v4: I made this guy a while back as a goof. Not intending to make him part of my main group -- I'll use my Joe-based custom for that.
I'll update if I ever get around to finishing these guys.
Cheers!
