Posting this for my buddy Tuatha, who is a bit forum shy. I did not make this, or have anything to do with it, so all credit to him. I really thought this was clever, so I hope you guys dig it too.

I am very pleased with the outcome of this and love how this custom basically came out of midair while in the midst of a completely different figure idea. * Felt the ol' Techno Viper could use an update and though the figure itself is very basic, the Tele-Viper helmet/head was the most iconic feature of the figure. *I felt attaching the antennae array to the helmet instead of the backpack first off made it really unique, and at the same time gave it the look and style it needed to fit with the current line. I couldn't be happier with how that gamble paid off and how easily everything came together with this custom. *Feels good to be back!! Please respond with any feedback, critiques or whatever!! Basically an LBC except the tooling on the backpack and helmet.
