Wild Weasel by In Like Flint
It took me 2 years to finally notice the Target Exclusive Strato Vipers were the same color red as Wild Weasel. Otherwise I would have swapped out those god awful Snowjob arms a long long time ago. I also finally did something about the big ass snow boots as well. Figuring that he's not only a Rattler pilot but has also had experience flying all kinds of aircraft; Fixed Wing as well as Helicopters, I thought that he'd probably flown in 'Nam, most likely Hueys, and was formerly Air Calvary, so he gets to wear the 'spurs. So I gave him some Crimson Guard feet. The Resolute Comic Pack Destro scarf also helps hide the Snowjob neck meat and makes it look slightly more like a different torso. At some point I'll get around to painting it blue like the original ARAH figure. Back when I first got this guy, his puny eyewear bugged me, so I completely destroyed a Joe vs Cobra ( or Valor vs. Venom?) Ace helmet, just to dremel the goggles out and glue them to his helmet. I think it adds some needed detail, as well as some bulk to his head. Last edited by In Like Flint; 01-14-2012 at 10:50 PM.. |

Thanks man! He's a badass character, and after he first was introduced with Firefly in the comic, he kind of disappeared. The issue with him and Ace facing off is one of my favorites- Except for Lady Jaye and the Baroness harping on both of them

Thanks man, he feels less like a franken-joe now Those original sleeves were fine for SJ, but make no sense on a flight suit.

Love it! This might be the first time Wild Weasel's eyes have been seen- a great way to make the custom unique Android still identify with the classic!
