A few months back I wanted to get some of the new Indiana Jones Cairo figures to use as my own Gibli unit. On E-bay I just bought the Chief Temple Guard from Temple of Doom. Now all I need is Monkey Man,Salla and the red and black Cairo Swordsman.
Here is the figure I bought.

I don't think buying a carded figure really counts as a custom...

I may do some repainting on the ones I have. Can you move this to the relevant section please?

Cheers Baron I have been painting the two I have in Red Shadows colours. Here they are:-
Sa'id Jarrah is a "Translator" he is well versed in getting translations out of anyone and usually has his hands covered in blood after each session but never his own blood.
His brother Omid is an expert marksman.

The painted figs look pretty cool... I used the IJ figs a while back to make Gibli troops too!! The only problem I find with them is the rubbish articulation...
