I remember seeing the card art of this SOB on the back of a card when I was a kid, thinking man this is the baddest looking Cobra yet! When I finally got one I was so dissapointed in the mono-tone color scheme that I immediately broke out a black felt and highlighter, which just ended all over my hands. So when i finally got around to this one I borrowed elemets from the Card art more so than the actual released figure.
The head and torso is available at The Angel Forge The torso was sculpted by the talented Krexx, and there are a lot more torso and heads sculpted by Krexx that I will be coming soon. Check my blog MSWI CUSTOMS for more info and pics of "SOME" of the ones to come. Big thanks to Krexx he and his sculpts are directly responsible for sooo many of my customs over the years, kudos! h2 by mswi, on Flickr h1 by mswi, on Flickr h4 by mswi, on Flickr h3 by mswi, on Flickr hmain by mswi, on Flickr h0 by mswi, on Flickr Last edited by mswi; 06-16-2013 at 04:08 PM..

Absolute perfection! The combination of Krexx's amazing sculpts and your flawless paint apps make something quite amazing every time.

Nice! I always liked the Hydro Viper, but thought that the art picture looked so much better than the O-ring figure.

those are amazing . tho my only criticism well more suggestion would be have a swappable left hand.that would really be awesome. or even better still , make both hands swappable and have a webbed right hand to so you could pose them gliding under water .

thats a great idea, i cut and pegged the web hand from the vintage figure, then casted copies so its easy enough to do, just need to find a right hand with the fingers spread enough to sculpt the webbing on.
