Lately I've been trying to improve customs I previously made. First up is Laser-Viper. My original custom, which used the ROC Neo-Viper body looked ok, but the thing was, I already have quite a few customs and characters that use that same body, so I wanted to use a different body. I took apart my original NF Spearhead custom and used the 50th COBRA Viper Officer body, which I feel looks so much better. Also, after seeing the Laser-Viper 3-pack photos today, I think this would have been a better look for the character. Two more changes I made was making the blue a bit darker, to match up the RAH version's, and giving him a backpack to try to imitate the RAH version's. I superglued a couple of laser blasters from the 50th Anniversary Tombstone. I couldn't think of a way to imitate his control mechanism so I just gave him another laser rifle instead. I try to imagine that his helmet has wireless programmming that controls when the mechanical backpack fires its lasers.
Formula: Helmet: 25th Anniversary Matt Trakker Head underneath(not shown): POC Snake Eyes(the one with the jacket) Backpack: 50th Anniversary female COBRA Officer Lasers: 50th Anniversary Tombstone Speaking of my original NF Spearhead custom...I decided to use the DG Wave 1 COBRA Trooper body, because when I look at the photos of the RAH NF Spearhead, I feel that the dark gray sorta looks close to black. I also followed more closely to the FSS figure by having him use the COBRA Shock Trooper legs. I changed the vest too because I felt the Shock Trooper vest looked better, plus I have quite a few extras of that vest. Formula: Head: DG Wave 1 Duke Helmet, goggles, backpack, rifle, and ammo belt: FSS Nocturnal Fire Spearhead Vest: 50th Shipwreck Legs: POC COBRA Shock Trooper Torso and arms: Dollar General Wave 1 COBRA Trooper And last but not least, I present my NF Cross Hair using the DTC Barrel Roll vest. After seeing the FSS version, I thought it was a great improvement/change made to Cross Hair, so I figured I'd give it a shot. It definitely looks more like the Spytroops figure imo. Formula: Head: POC Dusty Hat: Cross Hair Body: Retaliation 3-pack Snake Eyes Vest: DTC Barrel Roll So in order, first two photos are of Laser-Viper before and after, middle two are of NF Spearhead, and the last two are of NF Cross Hair.

That new Laser Viper is 100 times better, and I love it!
I for some reason, enjoy much more your original NF Spearhead, I like the use of Lt. Stone vest. And I like both versions of Crosshair. Cross my heart... |

Thanks. I've changed my NF Spearhead custom again, this time giving him what I feel is a more accurate vest. Hopefully this one is better than the rest.
