Yes, the figure isn't out yet, but I plan on getting the new Motor-Viper and repainting him to look like his classic uniform. Here's a concept of what he will look like after the repaint. Figured you guys would get a kick out of this. With the old classic colors used, the sculpt is actually pretty close to what the '86 figure looked like. One of the few movie figures I plan on getting.

Hopefully after the film line dies down Hasbro will release a Modern Era STUN with this motorviper in your colors.

As I said in another thread, I think Hasbro would be better served using Swamp Zartan's upper arms and upper legs for something closer to the original figure's look.
Your re-coloring looks good, but I think replacing the upper arms and upper legs would make the MV look better. |

Yeah, I agree with using Zartan's upper arms. I don't think Zartan's upper legs would really look a whole lot better than the Viper's upper legs, though (both are missing holster straps). Flash's legs might also work but are still not that great. Snow Job/Wild Weasel's upper legs actually be what I end up using on my custom.

I'm already replacing the upper legs with CP wild bill.
Motor viper is nothing without those double holsters! |

Paint the red/orange F.A.N.G.-Viper helmet a crimson red color and put it on pilot Destro to make a CBR-Viper. (Complete it with the mass element sniffer/containment device from the scuba Baroness.) (I used a regular un-chromed Destro head for a better helmet fit.) Last edited by CLIFFjump3r; 02-23-2009 at 05:02 AM.. |

I love the colors you picked for the Motor-Viper, DarthBrett. I hope Hasbro's colors looks that good.
