Head, body, arms, legs: RoC Pit Commando
Helmet, backpack, gun: DTC SAW Viper

What we call the New Sculpt era is actually several product lines starting with GI Joe vs Cobra, followed by Spy Troops, Valor vs Venom and finally the internet-exclusive Direct to Consumer line. Along the way, old soldiers were given fresh looks and new characters were created. Looking back on that period between 2002 and 2006, the lines are a mixed bag remembered for strange figure proportions and so-so accessories, but also memorable new characters and fresh new ideas. This is an attempt to bring some of the better ideas into the modern era.

''The DTC SAW Viper has always been a favorite of mine. It improved on the 1989 version in every way - colors, articulation and accessories - so including him in this project was a no-brainer for me. In fact, SAW Viper was one of the first figures that were made. I like him quite a lot, I may go back and make more, possibly with other environment-specific color schemes.''
