The figure is the new SAW Viper w/ a club CGI head cast by Raginspoon.

The webgear is from Cap. America: Battlefield figure.

The accessories were chosen as mirrors to the modern Steel Brigade figure. The grenade launcher was used because of Steel Brigade's filecard.

The rocket can fit inside the Snow Serpent backpack, while the launcher itself can attach to the side.

I could have sworn I bought a cast CGI head, but for the life of me I can't find it. That's honestly the only reason I haven't already stolen the crap out of this.

Amazing repurposing of a kinda lackluster figure.

//must be the evil twin

Well done here -- are there further plans for this, or is this a one-off venture for you?

I have a few others, but they mostly like this one. Several reworked figures with minimal painting.

Hopefully someone will cast the webgear, too.

That looks like it jumped right out of the early 90s (and somehow acquired enhanced articulation along the way).

This is really a great concept and kind of what I wish they'd do with the Cobra blueshirt - Give us a two pack of basic blue uniformed figures, one with long sleeves and one with short, a few swappable heads (standard, Viper, Tele-Viper) and a "LASER BLAST" of gear and let us army build our way.

Thanks all!

Btw, Spin, I thought of you while making this. Your customs are often pieces together to limit paint wear and increase playability.
