Even though I'm not doing any Sigma 6 style customs right now doesn't mean I've lost my love of the line. Thanks to that great head-shrinker JFAK I'm finally able to bring Sigma 6 Duke to my 25th style Joeverse. Its not a straight up copy of S6 Duke in 25th form because I don't think that look would work very well. Instead I took the essence of S6 Duke and applied it here. I think I captured enough of S6 Duke to make him believable (though a nice twin gun rig for his pistols would be very nice to have) and I'm quite happy with how he turned out.

Head: JFAK custom cast
Torso, lower arms: Tomax? Xamot? one of those two
Upper arms: Storm Shadow
Legs, vest, pistol: Beachhead
Rifle: Marauder Inc.

Dude, SICK! I loved S6 Duke...one of the best figures from that line (R.I.P.)!! Very excellent interpretation. Great choices with the parts/accessories. Any more of the S6 crew coming along???

Chief, I'm always impressed by your stuff. This is no exception. Only minor critique is to make the pupils a tad bigger to give a less surprised look.

That is great! Would love to get one of those heads and make one! Does he sell them? And does he have the Sigma 6 Spirit head? I have an idea on making one but cannot find a good head. Again great looking figure! Consider it stolen!

Yeah, I was hoping the shadows would help that a bit but the flash washed it out. I can never get pupils right. They're either too big or too small but I'm getting better.

this is great. A great idea and perfect execution. I'd love to see more. It'd be great to see someone integrate the microman military force parts with 25th stuff. I love how my microman S6 turned out, but they don't fit with any Joe stuff. This however fits perfect.

Thanks guys! Glad you like him.

I have a Lt. Stone in the works and may do a Cobra Commander (already have a helmet) if I can put the right parts together. Other than those two I have no plans to work any of the others into my verse. Unless the right parts come around.

Figure looks great...like it was said before..a bit more work on the eyes...S6 eyes are pretty complex...and you'll be spot on.

Spytroops Destro or Spytroops Lady jaye could both be options for a dual holsterd unit to add...

Sorry, MS. I saw the backdrop scenery, and instantly though it was Chief. That's what I get for looking at the pretty pictures before reading! LOL!
