Idea for a possible 25A Python Patrol commission.

Got a tip to share? Have a question about the hobby? Need input on parts or weapons? Have great idea for a custom figure or vehicle? Too lazy to do it, or just want to share the idea with others? All that and more goes in here.

Howdy, y'all.
I don't know a rosy red thing customizing 25th Anniv. figures other than swapping heads -- and in the case of the Trooper/Officer/Viper variants, helmets and combat harnesses/webgear.

Looking at a 25A Python Officer I bought (who now joins my "Viper Pilot", "Scarface", and Comic Officer/"recently-commisioned Air Trooper"), I thought back to my original ideas about the errors in the naming/colors of the original Python Trooper and Officer. Fortunately, Hasbro neglected to paint my favorite "Officer" detail -- the Pythonized kneepads.
Here's what I think they should look like:

(To make my version of the Officer, all I'd need is a Cobra Stinger/"Vehicle" Driver helmet, and someone to paint a Comic-based Officer/Air Trooper's harness in a matching pythonized green/yellow).
But this is not what I'm asking for.

What I want to do is make a 25th Anniv. likeness of my Python Komodo pilot/intelligence officer. (I've woefully forgotten who created an actual version of my idea -- I think it was Carnage717 as the pilot for his Python Hurricane.)
Image Komodo is a pythonized version of a black Cobra agent I created a while back (before he gets his "normal" original uniform). Using 25th Anniv. parts, this is his newer body composition:
    :copperhead: Copperhead v4's head and legs
    :wildweasel: Wild Weasel v6's torso
    :crimsonguard: Crimson Guard v9-12's arms (or upper arms, if possible)
    :hissdriver: :avac: :flash: HISS Driver v2's lower arms (if possible and compatitible)
The end result would have an identical color scheme to the icon/character model shown above. Instead of the Cobra symbol shown above (on his right shoulder), the Crimson Guard emblem on his left shoulder should be detailed with red. If purchasing decals from cobrastickers.com, the diamond-shaped CG logos will also suffice. His accessories would be the M-16 and sidearm used by 25A Copperhead (and possibly Viper v16's backpack -- if it fits).

Yeah I did a ARAH version of your Komodo Figure and I'm definately planning on doing a 25th version as well as soon as I pick up an extra Copperhead pack. If you want an actual figure for yourself feel free to hit me up I'm sure we can work something out. I have been looking for some figures to work on so I might try your other designs as well.
