There is just something about unreleased figures. No matter how weird they may be, how dumb they may look, or how useless they seem, I am just drawn to them. This guy is no exception.
At some point the Desert Extreme Conditions 7-Pack was solicited with this guy in place of the second Crimson Guard. He looks ridiculous. Another reptile handler? Is it Croc Master? A viper? Ninja weapons and an armored CC backpack? Whatever, Hasbro. If it came out we all would have bitched about it, but since it didn't, I want one. So here he is, in ARAH form, for the "Kickin' it old school" portion of the contest. I changed a couple details, mostly the belt color and visor to black, and did some washing and drybrushing on the croc skin areas. I have NO IDEA what his real name was (I was referring to him as CROCVAC). I'm just calling his CROC-VIPER for the contest. Croc Master can't handle all those crocs on his own, right? So, he get's some troopers. I did two sets of accessories. First, the direct translation. I tried some more TTT style subtle wash and drybrushing on the croc, with mixed results.

The second set of accessories uses a kind of "croc handling mitt/shield" combo that I made by hollowing out a VvV croc and running some chain out of its mouth. I added a big old Shleigh Crocodile, and a basic looking giant cattle-prod spear thing, made from a marvel ninja spear, some old Zoids bits, and a scrap of Star Wars lightning.

The 25th style looks weird, but the ARAH style you got there is badass. I like it

Well done!
I like the second set of accessories, but it looks like a MOTU figure with those. That's not a bad thing, though. |

Been wanting to do a ME version like in the 1st pic for a while now, I really like this character.
Your ARAH version here is a perfect concept & execution for the theme.
