From the workshop of Shipshape1983:

“Sgt Slaughter was one of my favorite Joes as a kid. It was the Sarge who helped me get into Joes. I did a custom a few years ago, my second custom Joe ever actually. And for the time, it sufficed because of the parts available back than. Kind of a “best at the time” And he was great…

UNTIL

Retaliation gave us a figure of Roadblock played by the Rock!
This would give us customizers a larger new body to work with. Well it didnt take long for my fellow customizers to put two and two together.
But I was iffy about using the R body due to the skin tone. I would have had to paint the flesh. And that would mean potential paint rub off.

Well Vortious Customs Accessories and I felt the same way. And He created a conversion kit in Caucasian skin tone. The kit came with the head, torso, arms, hands, whistle, hat, and baton. I obtained one and went to work.”
