A little background: I had no idea that there actually WERE mediviper action figures at one point, but one day it occurred to me that the Joes had Lifeline and Doc and Cobra had Dr Mindbender and... well, ok, they had Dr Venom too, but since most of my GI Joe experience (until very recently) had been the cartoon series from the 80s and early 90s and the action figures of the same time period, I didn't know that. I decided that I ought to make some kind of medic for my snakes. A few weeks later I discover the mediviper action figure while poking around Amazon and decide that a green costume with funky headgear looks silly (even for a GI Joe figure), so I resolved that in my joeverse, Medivipers would appear to be a little more like doctors, ie they'd wear some white and red.
In my Joeverse, Medivipers are responsible not only for treating wounded or sick Cobras, but also for harvesting useable organs from dying enemy troops so that they can be sold on the black market - more money for Cobra's coffers - thus the large case. Let me know what you think!

I'm very happy to see you guys like it
I have to admit, the paintjob was a lot more time consuming than I had originally anticipated. Although I used a red viper from the CLAWS/FANG box set, I decided he needed to have red as a secondary or tertiary color, otherwise he'd look too much like lifeline. Getting white to look solid took quite a few coats, so I'm very happy that in the end it worked out all right. |
