my awesome wife..gotta love her. Im really no fan of this fig, but she went to the store and brought be home a suprise. Viper Commando She's the best. After I opened him up I was very suprised at some of the simple things Hasbro could have done to make this figure better. So I took it upon myself to clean it up, after I just finished a duplicate set of Grid Iron Armor for a buddy.
Once again, hate the pudgy look with the armor, made new holes and stretched it so it fits REAL tight and give the fig a more athletic look. Modified neck to make him look up better Backpack cut off the Dirk Holder and moved it to where it should have been. Cut off the post and mounted it to lower so you cant see the big hollow space when your looking at the fig. Cut off and split the grapple hook mount, and made it mount lower and hang in a more practical spot on the pack, and allowed it to mount on a cool gun I got from an ebay parts lot. Armor How in the heck do they still do this?!?!? attach shoulder pads to arms so it looks DUMB when the fig hold a gun...NOPE..not for me, gave him my standard armor treatment, disconnected them, cut out a spot in the vest to accept rexlace, and mounted the shoulder pads on rexlace. Now they are a little higher, and the flex when arms are movved, but more importantly, they STAY IN THE SAME SPOT, when he moves his arms..(well..at least when I move them) Now that I have this guy I stand back, I like it, and Ill change the color to a metallic blue or somethin and then I think ill dig the Viper Commando
