Totally well done! The Tele Viper just wants to wear a Deep V neck!

That has got to be one of the craziest parts combinations I've seen on a figure. If I saw those laying in a pile sans paint I'd be pretty skeptical but they work! He looks fantastic!

Not sure I'm sold on the CM torso, or the old style rifle.
I do like the idea of a recon specialist, kind of a combination between the Tele Viper and Range Viper. |

I will just say it first to get it out of the way so there's no dancing around it: I don't like the figure. It doesn't work for me. Nothing about it to me works; the huge v-neck look, a "scaled" shirt with a head with heavy comm gear mounted on it. The figure itself doesn't look like it fits together.
What I LOVE about it though: I love your audacity. To try pulling all these strange pieces together--and you didn't go the easy route because you have piece available to you that are a better fit--it's pretty bold. Like I said, you didn't take the easy way out and you gave it a go to see what it would look like. I LOVE the paint apps. Your painting skills are amongst the top of the board and the paint job tries very hard to pull all of the dis-associated parts together. In my opinion, it fails to pull it off because the sculpts are just so different from each other they don't lend themselves to one another, but I love almost anything you paint. I appreciate your attempt to pull in the M1 carbine, but I have found myself asking even as recently as this week (two nights ago) why Hasbro felt the need to incorporate that weapon in any of their recent "Modern military figure" lines. I LOVE your custom creation/frankensteining of gear and parts--like making the backpack straps (brilliant!) and the pistol holster from CC's sword belt (brilliant!) and using the knife sheath from Para-viper. I LOVE the concept of this "competition" and would LOVE to take part the next time there is one. This looks like a LOT of fun. I hope you had a really good time making this one!

This is an amazing achievement. Like others have said the part selection was...well...crap and using the combinations you did was ballsy but it turned out pretty well. The Croc Master torso is the week spot especially because of the low neckline but otherwise it's a pretty stellar figure and I love the concept.

Nicely done man! You actually made that tele-viper head look mean.

I think it is cool, and would really like to take part in the challenge as well. I think it would be fun.
