Suggestions for Slayer Designs

Agreed, I find "shirtless warrior" to make more sense than impractical scaly mesh. That whole story made no sense, but it's one of my favorites. Man, I love those first 80 issues...
suck it...you know me...ARAH for life niggas!!!...lol...i'm cool with the snake look, but the shirtless one just looks more bada$$...like nacho said, kinda warrior looking
Well I just ordered a few items. Mainly heads and a couple dio pieces. Hard not to with that deal right now.
what happened to the arah torso and head sets? I was gonna buy a few. Hey slayer, when I'm in baltimorewould I be able to just pick some stuff up from you if I let you know what I'm ineterested in?
yeah, i picked up quite a bit of stuff...got almost $8 knocked off the price with the promotion going on, not to mention the free shipping...
Hmmmm, they used to be sold as a set. Maybe something happened to the head mold. I hope not, it's a beautiful sculpt.
Exactly what i thought nacho. Just looked too. Head is till shown on torso picture but caption sayd torso only. hmmmm. i could not find head by itself, Maybe its just an overlook. Wait for dave to respond or ask right on SDS forum KT.
A neck joint for arah figures with a ball joint that fits modern figures. Classic figure that can use a newer head
just made a small order, hopefully next payday I can make a larger one. get some stuff for a birthday present to me
I was just sorting through my Joes to pick out some for a dio, and I really, really hate Tripwire. What a boring figure!
What about a modern EOD specialist? Whatever SDS's take on that would be. Maybe a modernized head that's reminiscent of Tripwire's classic helmet, but the rest is all modern?
That'd be a cool CAM kit, or even a torso and head combo. Maybe a helmeted head, with a flip-up separate piece? I don't recall seeing anything like that from SDS so far, and think it'd be a cool take on our original Joe EOD guy.

I agree that Tripwire's design is dated and a bit goofy, but a modern EOD specialist looks like a reject from M.A.S.K. ... so I'm not sure it would be a highly sought-after design. Maybe something with a futuristic look might work better.
Hmm, probably a good start. It'd be great if Hasbro would just release the Hazard Viper in a khaki or green, but that's highly unlikely. I bet you could dye that silly arctic Shipwreck legs, or dye an Ice-Viper...

That'd give you enough leg bulk, and I agree the Pit trooper vest would be pretty good for the torso...
Yeah, that's why I said let SDS do their take on it... It'd need to be slimmed down a little I think, or have some cool padding and "teched-up" a bit... I may try to work on one myself and see what I can come up with, but it'll be cobbled together from parts, not exactly having an original sculpt. But it may jot require SDS to waste their time on it, aside from a head with a flip-down visor of sorts.

Yeah, I only spray the torsos and upper legs. Actually, my one experience with it turned me off it altogether, so I avoid spray-paint if at all possible on Joe figures. But now I know what will work and what won't. I had a gummy mess that I ended up just throwing away, even after trying to clean it with thinner.
I knew everything but the thighs and torso was gonna be tacky for the duration, but the clean factory look and not having to paint by hand make the trade off one i can live with.
The soft plastic parts aren't gooey, just a bit tacky.

God dammit, SDS is evil. I just ordered a heap of stuff from them - it was so hard to restrain myself from clicking on everything!

Wish you'd take some of mine, then.
unmasked super hero/villain heads
Hasbro is taking their sweet time making the alter egos.
So far we've got or going to get Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, & Norman Osborne.
I would like to make a Clark Kent too.

Ya know, i wouldn't mind a '30s-'40s-'50s pomade-addict Clark head sculpt.
That might come in handy for loads of things.
