Have a couple of those that are crying out for a makeover.

I will do some soon unless I can find older ones for you

Here you go scoobydie I hope this is clearer for you to see

I really like the Biker Scout in red, he looks like an Elite Shadow.

There will always be customs to make diehards wince. I thought long and hard before cutting open my Night Patrol figure for Black Wolf. I even held out hopes of finding a damaged fig but never did. Don't know if I'd have done with a wave 2 fig though...

Cool , I picked up one of the anniversary biker figures, need a use for him.
A gunner or driver might suit him.

I do like the newer version Biker Scouts ARC troopers aren't they called? They would make a more poseable Red Puma as I call him

And that is completely great.

But... for a massive Star-Wars-loving-Geek like me that red Biker Scout & red Barada sends shivers down my spine.....

I'll echo that. Great customs but I still see them as Star Wars figures, not AF. I think you mean BARC troopers Ironblood?

No I'm not a Star Wars geek.........

That was the type I meant Chopper no offense taken either it is just very hard to get actual Red Shadows these days that is why I use repainted figures some from Star Wars but only those I think bear some resemblance to who I would want in my armies. I think Star Wars fits in ok because there are fantastical elements in the AF/Joe universes like Space Force,Roboskull,Krakens,Serpentor,V-Troopers,Battleforce 2000 etc Plus older figures have the same straight limb appearance like the AF range as Palitoy/Kenner made both.

Ironblood, the SW Barada figure that you've destroyed [ ] is one of the rarest, last 17 collection.

You would have got at least £20 for it on feebay.

I would have traded you 4 lovely Red Shadows for it no problem....

If you have any other good vintage SW stuff, let me know before you paint them red as I'd happilly help save them from the dreaded red paint...

Thanks but that is a bit over the top saying I destroyed it.

I was only joking with you Ironblood!

Like I said before, each to their own!
