Yeah, I'm pretty satisfied with how those guys came out, too.

Harpoon didn't give you much to work with, so this is a suitable reimagining in my eyes.
Working on the Extreme Joes has been fun... I can allow myself to take more liberties with them and use my imagination more because I'm not as worried about "desecrating" a beloved design.

...I've said it before and I'll say it again, the original head you had on Ace way back when really suited him better than any of the subsequent attempts. The old head on the new image would be the perfect Ace in my mind.
Well, swapped in the old head but I'm still not happy with it (hence my not posting it here). I've got a feeling I'll be redoing the guy right up until the day I finally compile everything.

Glad you like my take on Harpoon. You could probably use the ROC Deep-Six for him.
And here are the Vipers:
Top Row: VIPER Squad Leader & VIPER Rifleman/Grenadier
Second Row: VIPER Fireteam leader & VIPER Automatic Rifleman (a.k.a. "SAW-VIPER")
Design notes:
I wanted a unified look for Cobra's infantry troops. VIPER, in my Joe-verse, stands for
V
eteran
I
nfantry
P
rofessional/
E
lite
R
ifleman. They're ex-military men who've gone into a profitable career as private military contractors, training foreign armies and serving as hired security in the world's hotspots. I was originally going to make a distinct VIPER grenadier (a "Frag-VIPER") but then I remembered that the original Viper was a combination grenadier/rifleman (a large portion of the original Viper filecard talks about how he's armed with a combination assault rifle/grenade launcher) so I adopted the same theme, giving him an AK-74M with an underbarrel grenade launcher.
I've updated the mirrored faceplate of the original with an MCU-2A/P mask (which is what assaulters wear as protection against tear gas and the visual effects of flashbangs).
