When I saw Scarrviper's Letal LBC over on JoeDios, I knew I had to make one myself. I liked it so much, my custom wound up being slightly more ambitious than originally intended. A pseudo-LBC, this take on Letal uses a Frag Viper v1 head and equipment on a HEAT-Viper v2 body. The pelvis is from Sci-Fi v1. The hands are from Marauder Inc, the feet are from some non-Joe figure. The chest decal came from Reprolabels, I think.
Anyway, I'm so happy with how this came out that I'm gonna do a second version of Letal, and I already have a small army of LBC Frag-Vipers for him to boss around.

Awesome work, much better use of the HVII body than with the butt-ugly head it came with. Now I wish all my vintage Joes had swivel wrists & ball-jointed ankles.

Thank you sir! Yeah, it's kinda amazing to me what an improvement this is over both the HV2 and (in my opinion) the official Letal.
Actually, I sorta (SORTA) like the head of the HV2, but it needs a serious repaint and to be used on a different figure -- an individual character, ideally. Plus, swapping out the HV2 pelvis means I know have a spiffy, unusual black pelvis to use on some other LBC. Another bonus is that the ball-jointed ankles added a little bit of height to the figure, making him rather glamorously long-legged. Not as pugnaciously squat as othodox ARAH figures. And in fact the wrists aren't just swivel, they are also hinged for up-down angling, like modern Joe and Marauder Task Force figs. Actually, this figure's O-ring broke overnight. But no worries, I replaced it easily.
