Black Shadows Trooper Custom Action Force / G.I. Joe-Style O-Ring Figure
Overview
Expand your custom enemy forces with this Black Shadows Trooper custom action figure. Inspired by classic military-themed 3.75-inch action figures, this unofficial collector figure features a predominantly black uniform, contrasting red shoulder armour and distinctive skull insignia.
The figure is supplied brand new, assembled and painted, with three alternative head options for creating different masked trooper and officer-style appearances. When fitted with the officer head featuring a red peaked cap and eyepatch, the figure also makes an excellent custom Black Major-style character for retro Action Force displays. A black rifle and rocket launcher are included for alternative display arrangements and custom collection building.

Changing the Head
- Place the figure on a clean, stable work surface.
- Using a correctly sized screwdriver, carefully remove the screw from the back of the figure.
- Gently separate the front and back sections of the torso. Do not force the two sections apart.
- Remove the fitted head and position your chosen replacement head inside the torso assembly.
- Ensure the internal O-ring, waist section, head and both arms are correctly positioned.
- Carefully bring the front and back sections of the torso together without trapping or displacing any internal parts.
- Replace the rear screw and tighten it only until the torso is secure. Do not overtighten it.
Important head-swap information: The head cannot be safely changed by pulling it from the fully assembled figure. The torso must be opened using the rear screw. If you are not confident dismantling and correctly reassembling an O-ring figure, we recommend leaving the original head fitted.
Compatibility
This figure is designed to complement many retro 3.75-inch Action Force, G.I. Joe-style and military action figure displays. It may also be suitable for selected similarly scaled dioramas and vehicles.
Vehicle seats, foot pegs, hand grips and accessory fittings vary between manufacturers, ranges and production periods. Compatibility with every vintage vehicle, weapon or display accessory therefore cannot be guaranteed.
Display Stand Information
The foot holes on these custom figures are smaller than those found on many common vintage peg stands. For additional display support, we recommend using one of our waist-support action figure stands for 3.5 to 5-inch figures. A display stand is not included with this figure.
Collector Notes
This is a custom collector figure rather than an original vintage release. As with individually assembled and painted custom figures, minor variations in paint application, colour, finish or assembly may occur. These small differences form part of the character of a custom-produced collectible.
