My 8th birthday was one of my favorite, because I got the Cobra Rattler with Wild Weasel. He's a great character and is still one of my favorite Cobras. I didn't change anything about his character, but I think Sidewinder makes more sense as a code name. Sadly, I had a Firebat and 3 Python Conquests that got destroyed in Hurricane Michael (boohoo), so he's got no ride for the time being. Oh well.
Recipe Entire Figure is JoyToy "Marine Corps" It's obviously a Titanfall ripoff I only did a little work on body for fit. Helmet and Vest (modified) ROC Firefly Flight Leg Harness - Fodder Paraviper? Leg Computer - POC Beachhead All other bits - JoyToy The Vest doesn't look very different, but I had to take in the shoulders and the waist portion and thin down/relocate a lot of pouches. If it weren't for the work on the vest, I don't think I would post this in the customs section. I included the box in pics to compare to the source material. That helmet is a dead ringer for Gyro-Viper, but I wanted a good removable option. I can envision him working his way up through the ranks; Gyro-Viper being one of those steps. Feedback and questions welcome, but not necessary... Thanks!

Dude, I don't know what the JoyToys figure looked like before you started, but,"Wow!", I am floored by how cool he looks as 'Sidewinder'! I haven't gotten into any JoyToys figures, but I may have to give them a look now...

http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...character.html As for Sidewinder, I think your idea about separate characters for my Wild Bill might work better here. I'm thinking about pairing my "Wild Weasel" with a Dragon VTOL as a new FANG. That along with the Gyro Viper helmet, maybe he should be a new character. I'll have think about his file card/background.

Very, very nice.
Wild Weasel should have gotten a Hasbro update using the Data Viper base with those flat thigh spaces for his maps.

I checked, BigBadToystore has this figure in a set of 3 for over $100, yeesh! So far most of the JoyToy figures use one of 2 molds, so they are maximizing the milage on those by adding great accessories. If you can get them for a decent price their decent figures, but their accessories are definitely worth it.
