After reading Laser-Viper's filecard, I thought these guys were crazy that they would kill each other just to try to prove who was the most superior. So as a result, I decided to make this custom as a character rather than a troop builder. I also chose to make my own backpack for Laser-Viper instead of buying a vintage version and modifying that. It's a 50th Anniversary COBRA Officer backpack(it's way too big for her to carry so she doesn't need it) with black sculpey and two plasma/laser rifles that came with the 50th Anniversary Tombstone. I know it looks a little odd because of how one side has the attachment facing upward and the other side facing downward, but I think it works. This custom I would classify more as an update rather than a direct homage to the original RAH figure.
I know I previously posted my "ultimate Blackout" custom but I found myself feeling disappointed when I discovered that I couldn't get him to hold his rifle in a two-handed pose with the ROC Neo-Viper arms(I must have done like five different customs of this one character lol). So, I decided to change it just one more time, using the ROC Flash upper body. In spite of not having silver shoulder pads, i'm cool with it because the FSS version used them as well. Compared to my previous custom, I think it's a huge improvement. Formula: Laser-Viper: Helmet and webgear: 25th Anniversary Matt Trakker(modified) Head: POC Snake Eyes(the "winter" version not the "ultimate" version) Upper body, upper legs: ROC MARS Officer Lower legs: 50th Anniversary Beach-Head Backpack: 50th Anniversary COBRA Officer(modified) w/black sculpey added Lasers: 50th Anniversary Tombstone Blackout: Head: Retaliation Duke Goggles: Spytroops Blackout Upper body: ROC Flash Vest: Retaliation GI Joe Trooper Sniper rifle: Marauder, Inc. Upper legs: ROC Neo-Viper Lower legs: ROC Elite Viper Holster: 50th Anniversary Torpedo superglued

Cool use of the Trakker helmet. It works well. The Tater head makes a good Blackout as well.
