Bronze Bombers figure


When Olmec did their G.I.Joe-based Bronze Bombers line, I worked most of them into my G.I.Joe collection with new names, but pretty much as is. But I had a little trouble figuring a way to work in the recolored Secto-Vipers. Assuming this to be a new aquatic trooper, why would they all be African-Americans? So I decided to make an alteration, basing my idea on the character of Mara from the animated series. Although she was not amphibious, I decided that Dr. Mindbender had perfected the procedure. It still turns people's skin lavender purple, but they can exist underwater as well as in the air. They still wear peotective gear, though, because they have to alternate between air and water fairly regularly or they start to get deprived of one environment. The suit can provide either a water or air supply as needed. They're Cobra's AQUA-VIPERS, and they make Eels and Undertows look like landlubbers! (I just wish I had more than two of them...)
