I came across a Spy Troops Cobra Heavy Water trooper the other day. I normally don't collect pre-25th Joe/Cobra figures, but occasionally something jumps out at me...the last time that happened was the VvV Cobra Commander with the interchangeable hood and helmet.
Anyway, this time it was Heavy Water. Even though it's in the old-school style, can you take a look at this guy and not say he's fucking awesome? For a Spy Troops figure, he's amazingly detailed, what with all the hoses and tubes and everything. I love the bizarre, high-tech look many of the various Cobra specialty troopers have, and this dude just takes the cake. Still, compared to 25th/POC/30th figures, he still comes across as a tad lacking, especially if I was going to grant him access to my display shelf alongside all my modern-era figures. Does giving a figure a cooler-looking gun (from the RoC Viper Commando...the ones Heavy Water came with looked like super-soakers) and slapping a pair of Shock Trooper goggles on his head count as a custom? I don't know? But that's what I did, and I think he looks pretty damn cool. What do you think?

It's more of a fashion accessory than anything that's actually functional. Goggles are awesome...I think they look great on the Desert Viper as well, even though they make almost no sense whatsoever. :-)
