Escape From New York is one of my all-time favorite movies and Snake Plissken, played by Kurt Russell, is one of my all-time favorite movie characters. Sadly, there is almost no EFNY products available for purchase. I have the figure made by McFarlane but that's about all they have ever made. There are a few other collectibles out there, including a board game, but I want me some action figures!!!!! I could totally imagine Snake existing in the same world as GI Joe so I made myself this fairly simple custom. Aside from simple head swaps, this is my first custom figure EVER.

I had fun making him. It took me one night to do. The hardest part was finding the right pieces. And I was a little nervous about cracking the torso open, since I had never done that before. I tried it on some ROC duke figure that came in a set. Not really as hard as I imagined it would be. I still have a few things I want to add to him, like a belt with gun holster, shin guards and the tracking device he wears on his wrist. Anyway, let me know what you all think. Comments/critiques are welcome. I have a couple of other characters I am thinking about doing so any feedback on this guy will be greatly appreciated.
