Cold Weather Shadow

Post by scoobydie »

Another take on the Arctic Shadow theme.
Just a simple head swap with one of the Golden Compass figures, using one of
Steve D`s repro heads and TKW`s decals.

I'd be tempted to paint him white, like the Operation Claymore shads.

I am tempted to do that, really wanted a free moving hood, best I could find is on the new ROC figure with the snow sled thingy, at £15 for the set, too expensive for my liking.
As a point though, Asda were knocking out the £30 sets at half price last time I was in.

I like this because it looks ad hoc. Early on the Shadows may not have had any ECW gear so this is what they improvised.
Thanks for the heads up about Smyths, now Little Humby is going to be getting a Raven for Christmas. He got his 1st 2 figures last weekend and loves them.
