I picked up a Retaliation Cobra Fangboat and Ninja Commando 4x4 at Walmart on clearance the other week. Still bummed out by the 5-point articulation of the driver figures, especially considering the amount of detail on these. I decided to cobble together my own Swamp-Viper out of my spare parts bins yesterday and came up with this:
Nothing too exciting, and not yet complete. I used a POC Arctic Destro body with arms as the base. The upper legs are from a DG1 Shipwreck, while the lower legs and feet are from a 30th/Renegades Cobra Air-Trooper from the Black Dragon VTOL and the knees are from the Retaliation Tactical Ninja Team 3-pack Agent Mouse. They required some whittling down to fit correctly. I'll have to dig through my accessories bags to see what I can use to outfit him, and I'll need to do a little bit of paint touch-ups, but it's nice to have a fully articulated figure to put into my Fangboat.

That came out nicely. It still peeves me that these figures had great sculpting but limited articulation. Ughh..

Yeah. I'm still figuring out how I can make the Night Fox vest work. It could only probably be usable on one of the female figures...

I was able to get it to fit on a Retaliation 3 pack Snake Eyes. You just need to cut the tab off the inside.

Wow, that works pretty well. The SW was a really cool design, shame it was 5 POA.

Agreed, some of the figs from the Retaliation vehicles were great. That's why I had to make my own CC from the Hiss. Looking great so far, can't wait to see the final outcome!
