Baroness from GI Joe has glasses. Maybe some male Joe characters too, although I really can't think of any right now.

Isn't there a 1:18 Harry Potter line? That'd make a good example.

Already commented at GalacticArchives: outstanding figure and an original take on the sniper gun. Welcome back in the game!

The only thing we have close to this dream is the Star Wars Custom Gallery. Too bad very few customizers know about this site.

One more added to my favourites! Thanks, Phruby!

You could also put the figure in boiling water. The vest becomes really soft than and will be easy to slide off. Especially if you popped out the underarms of the guy.

I thought I'd give you a quick glance at a special RepCom I've been working on: RC-J1406, a specially trained Commando, whose main job it is to hunt down Jedi. His cortosis alloy armour comes in handy at the job 

He looks like a member from Omega Squad, I know, but I actually based this figure loosely on a Japanese character named Jin Roh. I'll add a wash and some dry brushing of course, as well as other details.

Nice... and I opened one such message at work 

Wait up Sithbaker, I'm going with ya to those hotties! 

Ok, well, here's my two cents:

First up, Marine no.1, which actually was my first custom ever:





Second, logically, Marine no.2, this time he's got a removable helmet:





And last, a third version with an alternative chest armour, to make it more movie accurate:





Hope they're a bit of help to you

Officers? Like using insignias as the Snowtrooper next to General Veers has?
