Its pretty established that while I love the outside of the US characters one of the things I don't care for is essentially the same figure differant name with maybe a splash of paint.

Kangor is one of those figures...he's Big Boa with a black helmet...which annoys the hell out of me.

So I decided to take a crack at that character.

How does one make a character differant, yet still have some reflection of what was the original...in this case I started with looking for a sizable guy.

The more I looked through my box of bodies...man that sounds wrong...the more I kept realizing the biggest were Night Adder, Bazooka, Bench Press and Roadblock.

Of the 4 Night Adder won, sure I'm taking liberties changing Kangor from white to black but that's sorta what I do when I put these spins on these characters anyway...besides Hasbro did it with Ripcord, and Repeater ao why can't I?

I then ran through heads...and oddly I keep coming back to Night Adders...but painted that black, like Kangor to keep some shade of the character. Added POC QK's punching gloves. Last thing was chest straps...and I found Firefly's...overall I think its a nice twist.
