I really liked the VvV Storm Shadow design, the actual figure was kinda mediocre, but he looked cool enough that I had to create a role for him in my 'verse. When the Legions pack was first shown, I knew I had a great starting point for that version of SS in a format I really like.

Nothing super special. It's Legions pack Cobra Commander upper arms with everything else being from the Legions pack Stormy. Head, kneepads, and ankle frills are all from VvV Storm Shadow. The skirt/loincloth was modified with elastic so that it would fit (it's too big otherwise) and the backpack was VvV SS's modded with some Chap Mei weapon/camera straps Rit dyed black.

Let me know what you think.

Great update to an already cool fig. The paint apps are flawless. I noticed you said CC upper arms. Do you use the boil and pop method to separate the upper and lower like with the newsculpt (guess not so new anymore) figs, or is there a different method you use?

Yup. Simple boil and pop. Works for ankles too.
