since i have zero skill or patience to even attempt to do some customs, i thought I'd throw out some ideas...

Series 1 style - generic 'soldier' type...

RAF officer
Royal Navy officer
US Army officer
Soviet officer

using the Commander figure

Green Beret using :2para: / :marine: as the base
US Army Ranger - same base
UN Peacekeeper - same base

Series 2 - SAS/Z/Q/Space style

Desert soldier using :quick: / :stake: / :tracker: as the base
Arctic trooper either using same base as above or s1 :arctic: figure.
desert trooper using :desert: as the base
SEAL commando using :frogman: / :barracuda: figure as the base, but with :skip: / :eagle2: arms to hold weapon (or even swivel arms...)


feel free to tell me where to go...

Not sure if the Big Bear head may look a little oversized on a Palitoy body ? I dont have one to try
