----------------------
Wall-Eye volunteered as a test subject for one of Dr. Mindbender's early experiments with genetic manipulation. Left disfigured by the experiment, he returned home to the bayous of Louisiana. Rare sightings of him gave a resurgence to the legend of the half alligator and half human creature known as the Parlangua. Upon hearing these reports, Croc Master traveled to Louisiana to see if they were true. He tracked Wall-Eye down, and seeing his usefulness, offered him a job as his acquisition specialist for Guard Gator Inc. When Croc Master left to work for Cobra full time, Wall-Eye stayed behind using his acquisition skills to acquire stuff for himself and his fellow Croc Bandits.

"Croc Master dreams the same big dreams of world domination as Cobra. No. Thank. You. Being a Croc Bandit may not be as glamorous or lucrative as all that, but how much work is it to run a world, like a ton I bet."
When I got the idea to make ARAH versions of the Croc Bandits from Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, I knew Wall-Eye wound make the team. I was originally going to use Cesspool for the head because of the disfigured right side, but then I changed him to being an alligator/human hybrid and the pieces sort of fell into place.
I wanted to use the Hydro-Viper flipper for his foot, but it created many difficulties to overcome. Originally, it was going to be removable. Like an accessory of sorts, but the paint kept chipping. So, it became permanent. Of course, this led to his left leg being considerably longer than his right leg. The solution was to make a sandal out of a battle stand. This closed the gap between the leg lengths enough that he can be posed in more than one pose.
I wanted to use their names from the show as their code names. This was a little more challenging with a few of the others, but Wall-Eye's head sculpt lends to his code name very well. However, like the other Guard Gator Inc. employees, I gave him a real name that would lend itself to a nickname. (Alpine being the model ARAH figure for this technique.)
As a way of tying the Guard Gator Inc./Croc Bandits together, I gave them the matching torsos complete with a logo. I also gave each some sort of radio/communication device to stay in contact with each other throughout whatever job they were doing. I knew I wanted the weirdest one to have the radio that looked most modern. So, that's why Wall-Eye ended up with a Bluetooth like device in his ear. It's also not lost on me that the guy named Wall-Eye uses a pike...
