I saw Inferno once at a Target....I had no money at that time and since then he was like my unicorn. So after a few years of checking Ebay and the Sale Boards to see him go for more than I wanted to pay, I came to the conclusion that painting the extra Grapple I bought for $11 at TJmaxx was the closest I was going to get to Inferno. So here he is. Used Reprolabels from Autobot set. Ladder is from a KO hotspot.
a lot of customizers have used the original inferno mold to make other characters. you might luck out by asking around if anyone has an extra inferno head. I just checked my stash and I'm fresh out. Paints look great!
You did a good job, and there is nothing to be ashamed at doing your own thing for what you want. As for a head, I know some have actually used a g1 inferno head. Might give that a try as well.
