Yup, it's a visor. I wanted something reminiscent of the goggles on the original figure design, but I didn't want to use goggles (doesn't make sense to wear goggles over the faceplate), went for a visor instead.

Nope haven't shown the Cobra patches and insignia yet. Still working on them, but the basic VIPER patch is just the red Cobra sigil. The basic idea is red Cobra sigil = Cobra trooper rank; silver Cobra sigil = Cobra officer rank; black Cobra sigil = Cobra officer rank (Crimson Guard Branch). Think of the Crimson Guard as the equivalent of commissioned officers in the intelligence corps, adjutant general corps, finance corps, and special forces branches; while the Cobra officers are warrant officers and commissioned officers in the infantry and military police branches.

It kind of looks like his chins hangs out because his helmet got slapped to the side. It maybe the transition between the black part of the helmet and the upper neck which it lighter right around the helmet.
Or I might just need to get my eyes checked because now it looks perfect to me!
You might be onto something there. Then again, I modeled the helmet after motorcycle helmets, so the anterior part of the headgear should sit a bit further forward than what we see on the toy's helmet. Will try moving it and see if it improves the look.
Thanks for the comments guys!
