Bo Shek is made from a Bossk body, "Flash" G.I.Joe head, Garidan gloves, and Rebel Fleet Trooper boots. I cut off the arms and legs from Bossk and glued the gloves from Garidan and boots from the Rebel Fleet Trooper. Since I did not trim down the boots, the figure is a bit tall. I then painted the figure blue with white highlights. I have seen the figure done in both blue and black, after checking reference photos, I do plan on redoing this figure totally and painting the outfit black. UPDATE: Well, I "was" going to redo the figure, but since Hasbro is going to release this figue sometime in 2002, it just seems superfluous to me now. Here is one note about my customs, USUALLY, when Hasbro releases a figure I have customized; my custom goes back into the parts box.
For the head, although "Flash" doesn't quite have the detail sculpt as Star Wars figures, I thought it was a good enough match. I added sculpey to the head to make sideburns and painted the hair brown. I then glued the head to the body.
