Can anyone who has these two figures tell me if there's a green colour match with their sleeves? Monitors show colours differently so I'm not sure how it is in-hand.

I want a Clutch to drive the VAMP but Duke-suicide-arms are forbiden in my collection, so i'm thinking I could boil-n-pop TF Duke at the elbows and re-attach to Clutch. Is it doable?

I'm interested to hear the results as well.

If no ones posted it by the time I get home in a few hours Ill check for you guys I just opened my TF Duke last night.

awesome thanks carnage - also is it possible to boil-n-pop at the elbow joint? I did it for TF Flint forearms/gloves onto Flint v1, so I'm hoping it's the same construction.

If this works and the rolled-up sleeve ends are passable one could "fix" Rock N Roll, Breaker, Steeler, Falcon, and any other I'm forgetting.

Yep. That'll work.

And on the second part, my thoughts too.

Well the colors are definately a different shade of green as you can see by the pics. I coudln't find my Tiger Force Duke figure to compare the elbow joins but I took of pic of the arm construction minus the hand. I took a pic of the arm straight out so maybe you could compare the elbow joints with the Tiger Force one.

Man, that is one fugly toy. It's every bit as putrid as the original figure was.

<retches>



take his helmet off, show us if they kept the brown hair or if they actually gave him blond hair this time. (they changed the helmet color already so maybe his hair is right now too...)

Heres a pic with his helmet off

Thanks for the pics carnage! Yeah it sucks that the green isn't even passable, they're two completely different shades. I knew I probably couldn't boil-n-pop at the forearm articulartion, I was thinking at the junction where the upper arm meets the elbow hindge.

Still it looks like I'd have to paint match to get Clutch's green and that's a tall order for the customizing-challenged like me.

thank you!

why not just chop off the old duke (CLUTCH) forearms, and glue the RF duke's forearms in that spot?
you would lose a little articulation, but the arms would look better.

Actually, a better idea would be to shave off just a little below the "wrist" peg on TF Duke. Maybe a millimeter or so beneath it, then trim off the exposed forearm on Clutch and glue the shaved Duke joint onto the remaining stub. If you cut it thin enough, you probably wouldn't need much if any paint and you wouldn't lose the articulation either.
