Prowl's Customs: 25 Star-Viper

Here's my latest work in progress; everyone's favorite high-speed pilot, the Cobra Star-Viper!

Figure was made from two Snake-Eyes figures and some goofy Star-Wars figure for the helmet. The gloves are repainted from the DTC Low-Light, since I didn't want to use up the better-quality Snake-Eyes hands for a figure that doesn't use weapons.

The only item that I need is some sort of harness like the original figure. I plan to use the one that will come with the DVD pack Duke when it comes out, not that it's a big deal anyway. In the comics, the Star-Viper only wore the harness when flying (which makes perfect sense) and I'm still working on updating the Stiletto.



Kind of a funny story; when I was six I received the Stiletto for my birthday. I loved the vehicle so much, I put it all together without noticing it came with a figure! The box went in the garbage with the vehicles pilot, so I never owned the Star-Viper. It wasn't until many years later when I checked out yojoe.com and realised the mistake I had made so many years before.

That's the Ban Malar head but I'm curious if it's originally a helmet or the actual head?

Good call.

I forgot to mention that I sculpted the respirator with the Cobra symbol on the front of the mask.
