Between ARAH, new sculpt, and the recent style figures, what are your top five army builder figures you would love to get more of for customizing purposes?

For me, in no particular order:

1) Dollar General Duke
2) Dollar General Shipwreck
3) Cobra Disguise Flint
4) Dollar General Cobra Trooper
5) Original 13 buck (both the Zap torso and the Grunt torso)

This question doesn't make sense

I don't want army builders for customs, I want them for armies. And some of the figures you listed aren't classified as army builders under any one's definition.

Now if you're asking what people's top 5 most useful as fodder figures that they want more of, they are as follows
Renegades Duke
Renegades Tunnel Rat
PoC TRU Quick Kick
RoC Cover Girl
86 Dr Mindbender

Generally speaking though, ANY figure that came out under the Renegades banner is tremendously useful as fodder, from head to toe.

Fodder figures-
Resolute Beach head
Retaliation green shirt
Resolute duke
Resolute flint

I have lots of plans for the retaliation snake eyes (the next one with the brown pads) and the green Dg shipwreck. I am thinking that is the perfect fodder figure ever, especially for 83-88 figures.

Well, as far as personal favorite troopers that I've either army-built to some degree or would very much like to...

ARAH Cobra Vipers - and that includes almost any version of them, and I was especially pleased with the Viper Pit six-pack.

ARAH Night-Vipers - Just always liked these guys.

ARAH Techno-Vipers - Okay, so they're purple. Like the name, like the design.

B.A.T.s - Any B.A.T.s. ARAH, Newsculpt, Modern style.

Modern Swamp-Vipers - Based on another of my favorite Cobra troopers, the AVACs, with a specialty-suitable color scheme.

As far as customization is concerned, years ago, I scored a bunch of "Night Fighting Guiles" on clearance, the ones with the all-black 1991 Snake-Eyes body. Then I rounded up some black 1992-3 Firefly heads. The grid patterning on the helmet was a match for the grid patterning on the vest. They made a quick-and-easy army-building custom that I called Shadow-Vipers (years before Hasbro used the term). Later on I slightly customized one a bit (gave him a gray camouflage collar), and made him into Firefly. The Shadow-Vipers are his troopers, sort of like how Major Bludd has that Skull Squad thanks to the Convention Set.
