Yeah, yeah, I know, how could I mess with Wild Weasel? Well, I did have that v1 helmet on my prior custom, so I wondered how it would look on the new WW body. I also painted up the headscarf from the SW Sandpeople jedi guy, and brought over my parachute pack.

I also took a pic of him with the Hasbro head and the scarf, for those who wonder what that looks like.

As for my old WW custom, I'm contemplating how it looks with the new head. A Crimson Strato-Viper, maybe?

I'm not sure if I'd shown these others as well: Cover Girl and a hatless Lady Jaye:

Oh, and with the CP Scarlett head, I decided to shave it down and make Duke's helmet fit.

The old head looks just fine replacing the 25A one. Everyone hates the old head for being so huge, but the helmet would be pretty big- especially when it was 1984 technology.

Crimson Strato Viper looks good, too.

Lady Jaye looks good, but the top of her head needs to be built back up a little bit.

That's a great idea for a Scarlett figure. Consider it stolen. :-)

You know what, I like the original helmet on this figure better that the Hasbro head. I know it was huge for his original RAH noggin but the 25th head makes it look like WW ran into a witch doctor. Consider this idea copied.
