A few years ago I saw someone recolored the Toxo-Zombie on Joecustoms to look like the V2 Toxo-Viper(That was actually the first time I found out about Toxo-Zombie!) I liked the idea so much I set out to do it myself.....but I wanted to find a figure in bad shape so I didn't feel bad about repainting a figure. It took a couple of years but I finally found one with a small bit of paint wear! So here's the new "Properly colored" Toxo-Zombie (I used the card art and Toxo-Viper V2 as references)

The thing I really like about Toxo-Zombie (Other than him being a Zombie) is all the detail on this figure, cracked glass, ripped uniform and skin, even the pinky finger is missing on his right hand! But all that detail is lost due to the colors Hasbro used, so I really tried to bring out every detail on this figure with my paint job

Yeah, I remember being stoked when I finally found a Toxo-zombie way back in the day. One of the more gruesome figures in any of the lines. Course, mine was rarely a zombie, rather he was just some random viper that got caught in an explosion tragically while wearing his "laudry day" uniform.

I'd like to compliment the work here, but honestly, the images aren't loading.

Edit: Finally got to a computer where the images load. Awesome work.
