Just trying to make a retro version one style Storm Shadow here. I can't seem to get my hands on a retail or decently priced version. I used articulated icons arms, armbands, and chest strap.
First I dremilled out the articulated icons wrist peg sockets to fit Marvel legends hands. I have extras in fists chops and other open hand fighting poses (a couple work great for arrow shooting hands)/
I then heated and popped the arms out replaces the straps, and fixed the articulated icons arms in the butterfly joint with a little hot glue in the socket to tighten it to a perfect fit. I put a light layer of vasaline on the arm pegs to keep them from sticking to the socket. The new arms move great and hold poses perfectly. I may have lost the hidden peg joints, but i feel it's worth it to get this look I wanted. The arm wraps with the gauntlets and bare hands wasn't cutting it for me, and didn't look right.
I also remade the backpack/gear kit to match the original version with his arrows, and removable nunchucks, clip on bow, his swords in their sheaths, as well as 2 extra knives.
Just a few quick pics for now to get them up. Hopefully I'll get some better ones when I get a chance.
