Sometimes we have issues with figures as regards aesthetics or functionality and in the case of Desert Scorpion my issue is the later. The figure looks great overall, but the lower legs, despite looking like the vintage figure's legs, restrict pose-ability and as result this figure doesn't stand well. No matter how good a figure looks if it can't stand on it's own it's a useless figure.
For a quick, easy, no paint parts swap- because I know many of you don't like to paint, I replaced the lower legs with the legs from a 25th Cobra Night Watch Trooper just to give him the ability to stand on his own. |

I don't have either figure. but, I was thinking that a swap of the lower legs of the Night Viper and Desert Scorpion would Improve both figures.
