Ice Viper was one of my favorite figures as a child. I was inspired to make this modern custom of the original Ice Viper by Ronin Assassin’s version . It’s basically his recipe, but I added some of my own touches. Nearly every bit of this figure came from trades or the generosity of Tri-Gate’s proprietor O-Loc Den, who donated the 25th Red Ninja head.
The sai holders on his thighs are interesting in origin. I sorta owe thanks on this one to both Jokabofe and Tonphanan. I borrowed the idea of using a Star Wars Massif beast’s harness on a Schleich crocodile for my 25th Croc Master from Jokabofe. I had to cut off one of the straps to do so, and discovered that the buckle from the removed strap would make a perfect sai holder for Ice Viper. It just happened that Tonphanan had 2 of ‘em to trade me! In comparison to the Vintage Ice Viper

A perfect match. I love all the snow figures, but this one's helmet has always bothered me.

I think the original Ice Viper's helmet was meant to go down farther, with the goggles actually over his eyes. The helmet doesn't look too big that way.
Your modern custom is great though, very nice! |
