I've been quite forgetful lately of posting customs, including one I brought about a month ago from VitruvianPro. Flak-Viper v1, along with the 1992 D.E.F. Shockwave, was one of the first GI Joe figures I collected, and I wanted a custom that did justice to it, whether it was an update or a direct homage. This is definitely a great custom that is vintage accurate, while making him look like a great update of the character, so I want to give him a big thanks for selling this custom to me. I don't have the original sniper rifle, so I tried to find one with a bayonet and I think the Retaliation Crimson Guard's rifle works.
Formula: Head: 25th Anniversary Comic Pack Hawk(modified, shaved the top of his head so the helmet could fit) Helmet: 30th Anniversary Sci-Fi Vest: Resolute Firefly Arms: BBTS Sgt. Slaughter's Maurauders BBQ(Thanks Zap) Legs: 25th Anniversary Ace/Wild Bill Rifle: Retaliation Crimson Guard Backpack: Retaliation Duke/Flint By the way, for more photos of this custom and others I have, you can see them here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/113336...h/34893338071/ and the original photos by VitruvianPro here: flakviper1.jpg Photo by Vitruvianpro1 | Photobucket

Those arms look like Marauder's Barbecue (or 30th Airtight or or 50th HEAT Viper - or some FSS/con figures that used the same mold) arms.
