I will probably move one of these Alley Vipers to a bin and have 2 Alley Vipers and 2 Frag Vipers on the same row.

Now give us Rock Vipers!

Great set up

Individual pics and build info has been relocated to the Classified HS/KB thread.

LOLOLOLOL...Fantastic. Can't wait for mine to arrive. How are the telescoping hips and arms? I've tried to watch a couple of reviews but the dudes had no idea how to demonstrate the articulation so I hit eject.

They're pretty tight. It almost feels like you're breaking something, when you try to use them. But it gives them a pretty good range of motion, for something of this size and bulk.

Like others have said, the Snow Serpents are Eels. I look at the Eels as the Cobra version of Navy SEALS and the Snow Serpents are another version of that, so they're both more like Crimson Guards, than Vipers. They probably started as Vipers, though.

This isn't a 1:1 recreation of the past.









Assembled from Cobra Island Beach Head, Classified Flint, Gung-Ho, Retro CB Rock 'N Roll, 60th Action Soldier, 60th Action Diver, Star Wars Lando, Star Wars Cobb Vanth, Classified Snake Eyes, Classified General Hawk, Classified Lady Jaye, Night Force Falcon, and various fodder. Weapons were painted metallic silver, some parts/figures were dyed, the flotation vest was painted to look like something from the '60s, and to fulfill the "movie version," I had in mind Clint (Action) Walker, Denny (Air) Miller, Billy Dee (Sea) Williams, and Timothy (Commander) Olyphant - all pulled from their prime or best-seasoned ages in spite of being born decades apart. Also made the logo out of a combination of "perfect" logos and thought it would be funny if the team was made up of guys who each bear a version of the name Joseph in some form.

This is cool man! Nice shots, and nice use of Billy Dee Williams too!

I did not know this, but this definitely helps me with organizing. Maybe I'll keep a cube for environmental Cobra troops.

Thank you. I thought he had that perfect '70s and '80s frogman vibe. I notice the heads of SW figures don't seem to photograph as well as Classified heads, but otherwise I am glad I got to use him.

I also relocated the solo pics over to the Head Swap and Kitbash thread as they - and the long scrolls - seem more appropriate there.

Tinkered with adding some more details to Flash using acrylic paint and metallic marker (plus DFender's black Sharpie advice) along with giving him Gung Ho's boots. Be aware of a footless Cajun, by the way, because their pegs are not the same.
I'm satisfied with this figure, so Hasbro will probably show off their digital render for him tomorrow.
More about Snake-Eyes.
