The trio of Torch, Ripper, and Buzzer are synonymous with the group known as the Dreadnoks, yet Hasbro only seemed to make a good ME version of Dreadnok Buzzer. I already posted my version of Dreadnok Ripper, so now i'm going to post Dreadnok Torch. I personally liked the Valor vs. Venom version more than the original, mainly because he looked more muscular and less generic. The only problem is compared with other figures, he's way too short. As a result, I wanted to have a Dreadnok Torch custom made that was a combo of both the RAH and Valor vs. Venom versions. I came up with the idea while Marine_Deadpool painted the details on the figure, and wow, did he knock this one out of the ballpark! I especially like the detailing on his pants with the flame.
Note: This custom I found on Facebook helped inspire it:

or on MD's Facebook page(search for 7.62 Kustoms).
Formula:
Head, flamethrower, and backpack: 25th Anniversary Comic Pack Dreadnok Torch
Torso: Dollar General Wave 1 Shipwreck
Bandolier: DVD 5-pack 25th Anniversary Snake Eyes(purple)
Rest: 50th Anniversary Dusty
Fast Blast Viper was one of my favorite new COBRA Troopers, and his filecard made him a legit bad-ass. A maniac with no fear working for COBRA? Scary. I already had one custom version that was made by Hard-er Master that was great, though I can't remember where there's an image of the FB Viper he based his off of(which looks slightly different from the ARAH version). I wanted another version that looked more like the ARAH version, but I didn't want to take the simple shortcut of making him just a repaint of the HEAT Viper. Instead, I came up with a different idea that I feel works as well.
Like Dreadnok Torch, I supplied the parts, and MD painted the details. For a custom that looks fairly simple since it doesn't require much painting, once again MD did a great job. I find both Fast Blast Viper customs in my collection to be equally awesome.
Thanks MD for both of them!
Formula:
Head: Retaliation Firefly
Webgear: Dollar General Duke
Bazooka: Not sure(it's not the RAH version since this one has a missile launching capability)
Body: Retaliation "Ultimate" Snake Eyes
