Machine Turret: Dollar Tree "Final Faction" Accessory
The Rest: Marauders Task Force Parts
This is an update of a previously completed figure.
This is a simple kitbash/LBC.
I have been tweaking my Marauders Task Force "OG13" figures lately. Gone are the "LWH" type helmets. I am replacing them all with the "Half-Shell" helmets. It turns out the peg holes on the Half-Shells are placed pretty well for the riot-style faceplates. I am also cutting down the faceplates to make them look more like the original G.I.Joe visors.
Originally, my version of the 1982 Hawk had a "Trooper" style head (the first type of head released by Marauders) and a green "Knuckle" Knife. The Knuckle knife seemed too out of character for a more buttoned-up commander, so I replaced it with a silver large knife (I do not like the MTF small knives). Also, I paired Hawk up with a Dollar Tree Final Faction missile turret. I hot-glued a couple of old missiles on the top to make it look like a mini-MMS. Lastly, I gave Hawk the "Agency-Ops" sunglasses head. I feel that is a good way to differentiate him from Duke without giving Hawk brown hair. Plus I feel it is in keeping with the attitude of a young, cocky, need-for-speed-volleyball-playing-on-the-beach high-ranking officer type that I have in my minds eye.
