Budo

[nighthawk]

I didn't really like the Hasbro Budo. I love the figure, but it was just way over the top with the Samurai armor. I would still like to get another one and display him with all the gear Hasbro gave him. However, this one here is what I use for my Budo that is used for missions. I went with the theme that he is first and foremost a trooper and that he has modified samurai armor used over top of his standard military uniform. The helmet's color does not match anything else on him, but that's how the vintage one was too. The backpack brown matches his boots.
The only things I would still do if I ever get the parts is that I want to use the vintage helmet and vintage sai as the sai I have on him right now is a little small. The Thor Shogun head had to be modified for the helmet to fit.

The mix of samurai armor and soldier gear looks great. In fact, himself also dons some military gear even in his more ninja-ish outfits.

Love the custom. BTW I have a vintage sai, if you are still looking for one. Drop me a pm, if so.
