I recently got a Reactive armor Duke as part of the TRU sale. I got it and threw the head on one of my Lampreys. I was looking at it and I couldn't help but realize how much it looks like a base for Night Viper.
The bodies are extremely similar. Similar lower arms. Night viper is clearly wearing body armor underneath the web gear and even the upper legs are similar. I would think that all that has to be done is have the lower legs replaced with Hiss drivers and you've got a Night viper. This is easy to do, Hasbro should do it. I would also recommend using this web gear: But what do you think? Last edited by Zoltron; 07-26-2009 at 04:06 PM.. |

Use the lower legs for the hiss driver, upper legs of copperhead, possibly lower torso of reactive armor, not sure of the best upper torso, and the arms of snowjob.

I don't think snow job arms would work. Maybe for the upper, but then the lower arms wouldn't fit. Also, I need to figure out how to dremel grooves in the lower legs for the knife shealth and the communication thing on the sides. |

The Nitro Viper head works perfectly!
The '89 NV mask fits perfectly on it, just need to tweak it a little.
