Hey yall!!! I got a new custom fig for yall to feast your eyes on!!!

I made him this last weekend out of some leftover parts and a POTC fig!!! The upper body is from the POTC Cannibal Chief that I did some work !!!!1st I sanded down and removed his jawbone necklace and armband---then I painted him with Testors (WOOD) color---it is a light brown color!!!!I then used the lower body from a SAHARA fig---I just superglued the 2 parts together and used a web belt from a BBI Paratrooper to cover over the seam!!!

The helmet,bandaleer, and sword are from 21stC---and the M-1 is from BBI!!!!

A pretty easy custom to do and a nice one to IMHO!!!!I think the POTC Cannibal Chief has a lot to offer as a custom piece---I got 2 so I think the next one I will make some kind of Jap in summer dress!!!

So thank you for looking and I hope you enjoy my custom!!!!---RED---

Very cool Red.. I've passed that figure up numerous times but you've shown how well it can be done in the right hands!

Red, Haven't talked to you forever... Good to see your innovations never cease! You picked a perfect combination and balance of parts from different figs and you pulled that 'South Pacific' feel.
