As per the same brief which led to our straight-limbed Gaucho :gaucho: figure... viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3231 ... my buddy Mark and I decided to make a Z-Force Jammer :jammer: using ONLY :originalaf: Wave 1 parts, to show what the figure may have looked like if produced soley by Palitoy and not by Hasbro. We used a British 2Para :2para: as the basis for Jammer :jammer: . The overall shape worked well, but his uniform didn't really lend itself to a big :zforce: logo emblazoned across the chest... hence the tiny :zforce: on our Jammer's chest..., ha ha! :jammer:

Here's what the bendy-limbed Hasbro version looked like;

And our version... will appear as soon as Mark gets the images online :lol: !

And here's ours! Wave 1 stylee :originalaf: A bit of a scruffy rush-job, and you'll notice the diddy sized :zforce: , but I'm happy with the finished product none the less :mrgreen:

Another job well done ! The Jammer head is fantastic.

that torso is ideal with the black braces, shame there isnt much room for the Z logo.

I must admit I was amazed at how well Mark was able to 'build' a moustache from scratch for Jammer! :jammer:

He's a clever chap :lol:

very cool to see this, while I love the poseable one, its cool to see what it might have looked liked had palitoy continued

I agree, I think it gives him a seasoned look, opposed to the fresh faced look of the original. A job well done.

ya know what? that's better than the Hasbro figure. it's a LOT cooler than the official one.

it fits in with the rest of the Action Force line's tradition, the detail in the Palitoy sculpt is much more impressive, and that's how the character looks in my 'verse anyway (like soldier who has stories to tell and ribbons aplenty on his dress uniform back home).

Thanks, mate. I think Mark did a particularly good job of the face and the colour-scheme... especially when you consider that he started out as a brown uniformed, clean shaven, white guy, 2-Para :2para: !
