Hey everyone, one character that I've tried multiple takes on is Blackout. He was one of the most memorable characters of the Spytroops era and his sibling rivalry with Barrel Roll was one of the coolest storylines in GI Joe history. I was recently inspired by OreoBuilder's ultimate Blackout custom using the Retaliation GI Joe Trooper vest. While I have at least three customs that use the ROC Neo-Viper upper body, I felt it was a good choice to emulate Blackout's silver gauntlets after I repainted them. While I admit they don't hold as many great firing positions as many other choices, I think they work in this case. I haven't been able to get him to hold his rifle with both hands yet, but I think after putting some accessories in his left hand for a long period of time, that should change.
Formula: Head: Retaliation Duke Goggles: Spytroops Blackout Vest: Retaliation GI Joe Trooper Upper body: ROC Neo-Viper Legs: ROC Elite Viper Rifle: not sure, think it was from Maurader Inc.?

Thanks. Unfortunately, I think I may have to redo this custom soon, because I just found some serious flaws with the ROC Neo-Viper mold that's driving me nuts, particularly with some of his poses and his head not being able to move up and down...
