I saw the FSS Night Vulture made by Hasbro, and while it looked nice, I felt there were three flaws that needed changes: one, the vest. I honestly thought it needed more padding towards the middle of the chest, so I used a 25th Anniversary Comic Pack Firefly's vest which I cut with a pair of scissors. Two, the Retaliation COBRA Trooper head was ok, but the problem was you couldn't see his mouth, like on the RAH version's. The first ROC Snake Eyes' head had the mouth molded in, so I felt that was the best choice to use. And three, he needed a different body. The body makes him too short. For someone who looks as intimidating as he does, I would expect him to be at least average height or taller, so I used the DVD 5-pack purple Snake Eyes body. I know the boots should be repainted black, but i'm afraid that it would be scratched off due to the plastic cuff attachments from the Retaliation Dark Ninja glider backpack. While the DVD 5-pack purple Snake Eyes could be somewhat of an elusive figure to find, I think it's cheaper to make this one than buy Hasbro's version.
Formula: Head: First version of the ROC Snake Eyes(removed the visor) Goggles: POC/BBTS/50th Low-Light Vest: 25th Anniversary Comic Pack Firefly Crossbow: 50th Zartan Glider backpack: Retaliation Dark Ninja Body: Purple DVD Battles set Snake Eyes(v37)
