 Post subject: ROC Zartan in battle gear and a proper Street-Viper

What made me decide to get the Tiger Snake was finding a use for the "Street-Viper" body... namely as a non-Joe body for Zartan. Threw on Pilot Destro's scarf as a callback to his classic predecessor's hood. Once I manage to find a Desert Joes 5-pack online at a price I find reasonable (bloody unlikely), I'll replace his blond head with the more accurate dark brown haired head.

As for the Street-Viper, the Tiger Snake, that go-kart from hell, was so neat it needed a proper Street-Viper to drive it. I decided to use a base that reminds me of a racer's jumpsuit, namely HOH Firefly's. On top of that came a MARS Trooper's vest (with little belt near the neck cut off so it'd fit) and pulse pistol, a ROC Para-Viper helmet and an Eel's knife (because I didn't have any spare knives that go with the Snake-Eyes leg sheath).

Simple customs, I know, but I'm really pleased with how both of them came out.

The scarf on Zartan works well. The blonde hair isn't really an issue on a master of disguise, either. Figure still looks good with it.

Street Viper doesn;t really do a thing for me, but that's more because I'm sick to death of that body and web gear than any choice you made. I'm sure he works appropriately in context.

Zartan, on the other hand, I'm surprised by how much I like. The simple touch of the scarf really sets the figure off.

I agree, the scarf works for Zartan. The helmet for the Street Viper is a good choice too.
