Both of these figures' RAH counterparts were released in 1990. I read about how SAW Viper slaughtered some of the GI Joes in the Marvel Comics, but found his original figure less intimidating due to the bright colors and thin arms. While the FSS version was an ok update, I wanted to make my own custom that would combined both the RAH and DTC versions into one. Laser-Viper, on the other hand, was a solid figure, but wasn't under my radar until recently. I wanted to maintain some level of accuracy while still making him look like a solid figure.
I also want to thank Quickstrike for helping me get the DTC SAW Viper helmet to complete the custom you see here. Note: Some of you may remember I made and posted a SAW Viper custom previously, but decided to replace it because the Retaliation Zartan parts look more accurate towards the original RAH version. Formula: SAW Viper: Head: POC Hawk Helmet and machine gun: DTC SAW Viper Vest: Retaliation CG vest Backpack: Ammo box that acme with figures such as Dojo 3-pack Retliation Roadblock Rest: Retaliation Zartan Laser-Viper: Head: POC Desert Battle wave 1 Snake Eyes(cut the visor off) Helmet: 25th Anniversary Matt Trakker Chest Armor: 25th Anniversary Matt Trakker(modified) Laser and backpack: Can't remember Torso, upper legs, and arms: MARS Trooper Lower legs: Retaliation Beach-Head
