Yes, I also customize vintage o-ring figures, and searching for inspiration, I resorted to YoJoe's preproduction artworks. From all of them, the coolest in my opinion is the Cobra Sniper, somewhat of a crossing between a SAW Viper and a Rock Viper, and with a concept that hasn't been adequately covered in my opinion yet, a Cobra Sniper. I am not sure if it was meant to be a character or a Viper, in my case I think it is more like a Viper.

I have to share with you that the Lava Patrol figure and this one are really outstanding. I dig the colors and the pars too. What is the recipe for the heads? Keep up the good work.

Aside from being an o-ring I love the idea and the execution of it. the ME poa would make it even better.

Thanks to all.
Trizzie, yes, it was a neat idea. Wonder why it got dropped. ucsf, both heads are made with epoxi putty, over a random gi joe head. I think I used a Mindbender head, but I am not sure now. Sneedlebarp, what's a ME poa?

I think it's short for Modern Era Points of Articulation. He's saying it would look good in the new style.
