Fun fact about me: I didn't start collecting GI Joes until 1992. One of the first COBRAs I brought was Flak-Viper. The neon turquoise color scheme he had didn't bother me in the slightest. He looked equipped enough to take down any enemy, whether airborne or not. Years later, the Urban Strike Team Nullifier showed up, and I felt that color scheme was a huge improvement over the original's. Thing is, I don't get why he was called Nullifier when he's actually a Flak-Viper.
At first, I thought a 30th Sci-Fi head or a large head(such as 25th Anniversary Serpentor's) with an RAH Salvo helmet would be the only choices that would work. However, out of curiosity I wanted to try repainting a Retaliation Ninja Duel Snake Eyes head to see how it would turn out, and it blew my mind. It actually looks very similar to the RAH head, at least imo. By the way, I know there are some spots that need touching up paint-wise, but I will do that later. Formula: Head: Retaliation Ninja Duel Snake Eyes Backpack: POC Desert Duke Legs: 25th Anniversary Capt. Ace(green) Rest: ROC Neo-Viper

Thanks. If the Club has an idea for an urban themed set, I think he would fit well with that.

Nicely done! I actually looked him up on YoJoe as he was after my time, but you did a bang up job on modernizing him.

Very cool! I didn't even think of that head, but it's a great idea.
