I haven't even tried he x-acto tricks yet...I prefer to mix and match spare
parts....
As the ever present Ninja theme builder....I simply replaced the head and
added Shogun armor, Islander top knot/helmet and katana...whoosh....new
individual character...
I did the same w/ the Johnny T torso and added a robber eyepatch head and
samurai helm....I now have a new samurai faction composed of SW and
adventurer tan torsos...the Johnny T makes a nice smug samurai w/ an
islander top knot or especially w/ a black helmet...
I needed some more variety in my Samurai armies, so I incorporated some of
the Obi-wan, Qui gon, and Western theme gambler heads...
I also noticed the Pharoah (I Just got my first one) has a torso that can be
addapted to the Ninja theme..I decided to make a uniqe archer fig w/ the
torso, black legs(red waist), black helmet and a Darth Maul or rober
head....he will figure in my future saga prominently = )
