Another couple of outfits I picked up from eagleeyesactionstation on my last visit with Steve a couple of weeks ago.

The jumpsuit belt scarf and Luftwaffe pilot hat all come as part of the set. I've only added some Geyper boots so far but will be adding goggles and probably a pistol.

They also remind me of something from one of those seriels from the 30's, maybe Buck Rogers? I have thought of adding something like a ray gun instead, what do you guys think?

Terrific bashes Richard. The goggles and ray guns sound just the ticket to finish off the bashes! bounce bounce bounce

Very cool sets, Richard, definitely a 30's sci-fi serial vibe, or steampunk. I like them as Zeppelin pilots too. Ever seen that old Howard Hughes film Hell's Angels? The Zeppelin scenes from that film are some of the eeriest scenes.

Great stuff!!!

Definitely find them some ray guns! These guys remind me of the 1950s TV series Space Patrol!

In fact, ray guns, goggles, and parachutes... because: SPACE ZEPPELINS!

Shape of Things to Come (1936)
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)

Fantastic stuff !!

These suits immediately reminded me of the old 1930's Flash Gordon space drama serial with Larry 'Buster' Crabbe.
A ray gun would as you surmised look great here Beatlefan.

Finally received the last few bits I needed to complete these guys this week!

I decided to swap out the EE figures, I managed to pick up some loose GI Joe Sgt. Rock figures a couple of months ago and have used Bulldozer and Little Sure Shot for these retro Sci Fi bashes.

I’m really liking the head sculpts on the retro Sci Fi pilots.

I used black Luftwaffe pilot hats instead of the tan ones, some silver rimmed goggles, buckle top boots, very cool retro blasters all from Cots and finally a couple of Captain Action communicators attached to the belts.

Too cool for words! Now I want all of my action figures to have outfits like this. All of them!

Looking good!

The change of boots and addition of the retro blasters really makes these bashes! cheers

Thanks for all the comments guys!

I think I definitely had the Larry Buster Crabbe Buck Rogers serial in the back of my mind when putting these together.

Maybe a Killer Kane type bash next.....

The rayguns look definitely looks smart!
Works much better on those figures rather than the earlier eagle eyes too!
Great pair!

Those guys need to stop posing, get out of the photo studio and get ready for the Volgans! cyclops


Great improvements Richard!!! the different heads, the new boots and those blasters look fantastic!!!

The Sgt. Rock heads look perfect. I'd never seen them outside the context of the comic, and they are really nice!
