So, I just got a Para-Viper and must say, this is a great figre. I've taken his gear off and put it on just about all my other figures. Anyway, I was wondering, what type of material would be best used to make a parachute for this figure. One that would "work".

Cut a circle out of a garbage bag? Thats what I did as a kid. Something a little thicker might be better?

Those are both great ideas. I want about 5 more of these things, but where I live they only get 1 case of each wave. I have to be at the Wal Mart, the store around here that sells them, when they open at 6.

Better yet Forces of Valor: Team Bravo is now putting out 1:18 scale para-troopers with real working parachutes seen them last night at a target near me retail 7:99. They look great and the come with weapons and other accessories too.
Here they are on Fox Hole Toys, but I highly recommend picking them up at Target. Bravo Team: 1/18 Scale

If a Big Lots is near you the single pack WPK paratroopers are $3 and have a cloth 'chute.
