Update June13th: Gave him a new head. More pics at the bottom of the page.
Just had some spare parts lying around so I slapped him together. The gauntlets are from Mercer. I wish I had extras of the blue gauntlet Viper to match the helmet color better, or that I had another red Helmet Viper. Just didn't want to waste the parts so I slapped it together to have more variety in my Viper ranks.

Love the use of the viper forearms on the Shockie torso...but the helmet looks...off. Maybe because there is no other blue on the entire figure and the forearm grey is not a match to the rest of the grey on the figure. I can see doing the forearms, and all pockets (including the ones not painted on the legs) flat black or some other easy color to do, and may as well do the outer helmet to match leaving the chrome to SHINE.
To end on a positive note, great part selection for a swap!

Yeah, the mismatch is really prominent in the picture. In my low light work area, the arms and helmet kinda match...haha.
Thanks for the comments.

Awesome call!, check out Viper v6-v9, why Hasbro does not throw together DECENT repaints I have no clue. Different environment themed Vipers would be insaaaaaane.

I like the idea. If you had a black helmet, it would be a PoC version of this guy: http://www.hisstank.com/database/att...1298501120.jpg

I switched up his head now. The gauntlets are very close match to the greys, it's just the flash that makes it look really mismatched.
