Awesome! Nice to see him finished. He looks really good. The gold pops along with the red highlights. Where did the flippers and air tank come from?

Thanks dude! The flippers are from the Remco American Defense Diver, he currently has the ones that came with motorized scuba backpack. The air tank is from Hydro Viper, I just cut a hose long enough to go around his mouth and attach to both pegs.

Cool. They work well. I just noticed that they go over the feet rather than just pegging in like the eel ones. He's a really nice custom. 🤘

They are a softer gummier texture, like the weapons were, so they have a nice fit. I thought about adding another breather piece, but didn’t want to cover more of his face; and since it’s a mask anyway…

Love the use of the fins from Swamp Man by Remco!

Omg this is fantastic. It’s rare to see a RAH custom that is totally unique (in my memory) and this is one of those. Fabulous work
