This is a figure I just finished.
Code Name: Melt-Down Mini-Bio: In the world of laser technology, beams of energy can be used to make delicate, precise incisions, which can help remove a harmful tumor. They can also be used in eye surgery, to improve one's vision greatly... These are both prime examples of the benefits of controlled light beams being refracted and intensified to the point of being useful in cutting through solid objects. However, these have nothing to do with what Melt-Down uses them for... Once a member of a laser development team, Melt-Down started making advances in the field which were years ahead of his fellow developers. His technology was based on solor fed battery cells, which he anticipated would be useful in civilian rescue facilities, as well as having military applications. After all, wouldn't it be an incredible benefit to be able to cut a victim from a car crash in a fraction of the time, or to get through security doors and windows of burning buildings to rescue those trapped inside? And what if you could stop a missle from hitting its destination with a beam fired from a laser that moved faster than the human eye? What would these be worth to the world? And what would the world think of the inventor of this laser? Would he be the next Thomas Edison, immortalized throughout history? For Melt-Down, this was not to be... After years of working on his laser technology, Melt-Down's designs were stripped from him by greedy corporate moguls, who all wanted the fame and fortune that he had dreamed of. He was promptly "let go" from his job and given no compensation for his creation, which was billed "a collaborative effort" by the CEO and Members of the Board. This was the beginning of the "melt-down". Melt-Down kept a prototype laser pack, built with the specifications he created with his so-called "team". Donning this pack, Melt-Down went back to his former employer and used the laser to destroy all existing data on his lasers; he also "fired" his former team, the Members of the Board and the CEO... permanently! Cobra Commander had been using Laser-Vipers for years against the Joes, but their technology was vastly inferior to that used by Flash and Sci-Fi. When Melt-Down approached the Commander with the offer of being his dedicated laser trooper, he was told that he would have to prove himself; he did so by taking out a Joe Team Dragonfly that was doing a fly-over above Cobra Island; the pilot was captured and held by Cobra after his copter was destroyed. Sci-Fi had this to say about Melt-Down: "This guy is an artist with lasers. He has developed stuff that Flash and I have not been able to match. The problem is, he uses his talents for Cobra, and it ain't my taste..." LMK what you think. Parts List: Torso, upper arms: Snake-Eyes (RoC) Lower arms: Cobra Eel (RoC) Legs: Cobra Neo-Viper (RoC) Head: DCIU Luthor Corp Henchman Helmet: SW Clone Trooper (cast; from Broken Arrow) Lasers: Laser-Viper (cast; from Raginspoon) Chestplate: Raginspoon cast, but can't place which figure it came from Back Pack: Duke (PoC w3) Pistols: Cobra Neo-Viper (RoC) Find this figure on ebay by following this link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...STRK:MESELX:IT

Love the way you made the artillery guns from multiple parts. That's truly custom work!
Maybe a couple holsters for the pistols, and he'd be ready the shelves at Toys-R-Us. This guy is awesome.
