Fast Blast Viper When Hasbro released the Fast Blast Viper in 2001, it was another fumble. It wasn't a head-to-toe repaint, like Roadblock as Double Blast or Torpedo as Wet Down, but it may as well have been. It only lacked the head of HEAT Viper V1, and simply looked as if the helmet was removed revealing a mask underneath. So, as I see it, the FBV is a just HEAT Viper who misplaced his helmet. I put the helmet back on. (Yes, you'll see this piece flipped and recycled as a HEAT Viper down the road.) As far as the ridiculous weapon that the figure came with... it holds no appeal for me so I replaced it with a more traditional looking weapon. Last edited by Clockwise; 10-30-2020 at 10:41 AM.. |

Cool. Fast Blast was a doozie. Maybe you can flip it twice and do the red version, too...

Since it's still FBV, I'll keep it facing the same direction. I realized that the faceplate of the HEAT Viper is only on one side, so I'm technically giving the FBV and the HV slightly different uniforms.
Anywho, here's the re-color for you... Last edited by Clockwise; 12-18-2020 at 03:33 AM.. |

I digs. I’m working on a custom of him (coincidentally) as well, but haven’t decided on red or black yet.
