Today's custom is a bit of an homage to HissHissFangFan's amazing reimagined Cobra Customs - the Cobra Motor Viper Officer!!
This was a basic parts swap, except for that stupid right thigh! That thing was a pain to split! It was like it got welded together when originally packaged.
Anyhow, The upper body is the 50th Viper Officer and the legs are from the Retaliation Firefly with the funky jacket. The grey plastics are different shades, so I gave the figure a wash in a dark grey to try to blend the pieces together. I also changed out the swivel/rocker hands with just some generic swivel-joint hands because I think the original hands just look odd with those gauntlets (maybe the gauntlets need to be recessed in a bit).
The head is from the red Resolute Cobra Trooper to kind of go with the red gauntlets. And the helmet is from ebay user cobra1678. Doesn't look like he currently has those head & helmet cast for sale, but trust me, they are the best looking Cobra Officer helmets to date. The raised edges of the Officer insignia are just enough to paint around to give nice straight lines.
Comments and critiques greatly appreciated!
