Is that the "peroxided" AF9?, it looks minty fresh.

Actually Chop Chop upon looking at your collection pictures again I realized how well the vintage, 25th stuff and customs all go together.
Vintage and 25th in the same display???!!!!!! That's madness I tell you!! I have to keep the 25th in the shed as I can't get my head around having both under one roof.

Careful Jim, if Chop Chop reads that you are going to wake up with a Kangaroo head in your bed.

Thanks guys. Strictly Marmite here, a Kiwi staple, Vegemite is an Aussie thing
The idea behind my customs is to have them integrate with series 2 so its about right they are part of the collection.
I have 2 25th's, HISS Commander and Blades V2. Snake Eyes is my son's doing. I just discovered him up there one morning after xmas. I only intend to get 25ths that will seamlessly integrate with the older, better articulated chaps. A lot of the customs have changed since Mr Dawson's head factory has come along too and some are still under construction. Like Black Majors head and the armless diver.
Get yer 3 and 3 quarters out and shoe em off Shaun
And yup, that's the peroxided AF9, T'shot. I could probably make a tad whiter but its whiter than anything else on the shelves anyway. I'm still amazed at the results and more amazed that I didn't have to replace the stickers. Now my problem is if I add vehicles, which is pretty much the stage I'm at, I will need more space and I have gone to great pains to get this set up without the wife noticing the invasion going on. Same with my guitar invasion and my game console invasion and my Atari invasion. Slow and steady.....

Great collection there, I like the re-coloured poster in pride of place up-top.
By the way, do you know if the Devilfish floats? I'm trying to redress the nautical balance for the Red Shadows at the moment, and if the colour is not too orange and it does float then I'll try to pick one up so that our lad can have some bathtime battles with a restickered Devilfish versus his Swordfish.

Cheers Dave, there are some rebarrelled ATGS rifles there too. I'll post my repair technique later
The devilfish is very orange, Monkfish. it should spray easy tho. I'll check one for its buoyancy next time I run the bath.

Tested this evening...I can confirm that the Devilfish does indeed float. Surprisingly well actually.
