While I've never liked the original WW head (just way too big for me), there's no denying that this is one kickass custom! I'm even more blown away after looking at your WIP pics and all the effort that went into this.

Really well done. I'm putting WW on my 25A "to-do" list now. He just looks awesome.

WOW!

While I am impressed by the overall presentation, I am FLOORED by the WIP pictures and the technique you used to produce this figure!

Simply amazing work and something I would love to try.

Thanks a lot for the compliments, guys. I surely did kick up a lot of grinding dust on this custom

I forgot to mention that when I spliced the lower legs, I used JB Weld to fill in the gaps, and just sanded them to blend.

What I really would like to try next is the Air Viper from the comics. I'm going to have to really brainstorm that one though, because of the funky helmet and unique flight suit.

This is one of those "above and beyond" customs. Really raises the bar on customs using the new style figures. I like the look of the harness in the WIPs, definitely think you should add one if you find one you feel works.

Weasel is a figure who I was never fever fond of, and now I think it's just because of the proportions on the original figure. You haven't reinvented the look, but instead really improved the original concept.

Great job.

Glad to see this. These kinds of customs are labors of love. If hasbro even had 10% of the appreciation that you obviously do we'd have stunning toys as promised.

I am on the fence on the neck and head. It looks a little forced, but like you said maybe you used a second choice part. This kind of ingenuity is wonderful to see.

I'm just going to be repeating what others have already said, but that figure is just ridiculously cool. I always loved the Wild Weasel 84 design, and you absolutely nailed it in 25th form. I appreciate the tutorial on the modifications, too: it's great to see how you were able to make that work. But most importantly, this guy just looks cool. I'd buy one of those in a second if I saw it on the shelf. Excellent work!
