i am currently taking on the task of making lesser known figures of the 90's. i know it's not everyones favorite period of joe, but i find a lot of them really fascinating.
heli-viper was a great hasbro kitbash, a snow serpent and night viper franken-cobra. unfortunately, they chose some pretty metro colors for him. in honor of the original, i decided to paint mine close, but i subdued it a lot. this figure is loaded with green stuff but i held off on the back of his lower legs for a sense of balance. let me know what you think! heli-viper will eventually be my pilot for my cobra space launch complex, coming soon!!

Incredible work. I like the Heli-Viper and I want one but I tell myself - well, if I'm going to make that I may as well just make a Night-Viper. I bet if you wanted you could have the best Night-Viper custom yet, but it's the fact you had the guts to make this instead that is what's really great.

thanks for the comments fellas. i plan on doing a night viper eventually. i like to do figures that will most likely never see a redux. i used to hate the figs from the 90's and now they are almost my favorite. i quit collecting b4 then so now when i pick these up on ebay, it's like that feeling i use to get when i was a kid.
don't worry, a lot more unpopular figs on the way! |
