25th Ann. Footloose

Well here is my next 25th Ann. custom. I give you Footloose. The figure uses a 25th Flint for the base including a completely reworked set of Flints web gear. Head is a Star Wars Biggs Darklighter. I noticed the flash in the pics seems to have kinda washed out the color of his hair. It is actually a slightly darker shade of brown. Let me know what you think.

BRAWLIN'!
I'm not sure what helmets would fit that noggin without shaving down that 70's hair. I never could figure out why half the Joes were hippies. The helmet from Grand Slam 06 would be perfect though.

Thats one of my more favored Joes and I gotta say it looks spot on, add a helmet(preferably one that looks like the original, with the leaves on it.) and it'll be perfect.

Cool! I was playing around last night, popping a Biggs head onto some 25A figs - this never occurred to me. Totally works as Footloose (the brown hair really makes a difference.) Great stuff!

The Grand Slam helmet, much to my dismay, does not fit. :verymad:

I have tried every extra helmet I have that would be even remotely close to Footloose's original helmet and nothing fits really well.

Well....I know everyone likes to get sneak peak at what will be coming out next year and I was a little to eager. :shifty:

My typo has now been fixed....I like that I can count on my friends to publicly call out my mistakes.

That's an amazing custom that I might have to try myself.

That Biggs head works really well. Maybe you could give him a little haircut so he can wear a helmet.

Yah, that's hip, man. Find a Hawk v2 helmet and see if it fits, dremel it out some if not. Haircuts can get a bit out-of-military-regulations when on extended deployment, lol.

Indeed! I encourage a trim for Footloose. I'll make an appointment with Mr. Mott.

Wait..I slipped into Star Trek again...maybe one of the pansies from the Chaplin's school can make use of a hedge trimmer...or else maybe Pathfinder's weedwacker?

I like the parts and paint choices as well here. The orig Footloose helmet was the largest one out I'm suprised a original one won't fit on it. Have you tried the guys at GTG store???? (look at Xhairs response for a site linky)

That custome web gear is amazing Karm. The biggs head also works really good for footloose.

25th Roadblcok or Duke's helmet won't fit? Biggs X-Wing pilot helmet might fit and you can rework it to look more like a field helmet.
