here are a few close-ups of this custom..

I used the Special ops body,, cut off the baseball cap,, shaved off the sunglasses and added the seal head,,, I also added wrist articulation by cutting the hands at the wrist,, drilling a hole and adding XD para hands..

Thank you for your comments,,, I am pleased with these new figures although some board members have pointed out several features that are not quite up to par (if there is one in this scale)

I think the bare arms on the special ops figure could have been done better. The elbow joint is too bulky. GI joe has several bare armed figures and the quality is much more detailed and cleaner.

The wrist articulation or lack there of did not bother me at all as I have been modifying GI joe figures for years.

I bought 3 of the figure and needed to customize to form a team. I did not feel all three would have their sunglasses on the hat...
