since i'm pretty much immobile nowadays, i figured i oughta go ahead and finish up some of the customs i've been planning...as always, comments and criticisms alike are welcome!
toxo-viper
helmet, head, collar, backpack and weapon: taterbot casts
body: renegades airtight
using an awesome cast from taterbot...i tried to go classic with him, but the red gloves just didn't work for me. tried to update his colors a little bit...still not really happy with him. i blame the cow-head looking helmet...
annihilators
head: dg storm shadow
helmet: roc aqua-viper officer
webgear & lower legs: roc aero-viper
torso & upper legs: retaliation ultimate snake eyes
arms, backpack & weapon: 25th specialist trakker
another time where i originally intended to follow the club's recipe...but the clear visor didn't work for me. also, i thought switching out the upper legs and arms just plain old looked better.
classic muskrat
head: cast of the club figure
torso & webgear: roc aqua-viper officer
arms: bbts gnaw
hat: roc pit trooper
legs: poc commando snake eyes
i dig the night force version, but still prefer the classic. now i can have both in my display!
and...what i lovingly call my "you-guys-stay-here-and-guard-the-base-vipers.":
raptor
figure: poc zartan
headgear: cast of vintage raptor headpiece
wings: mu angel
backpack: roc neo-viper& airtight
webgear: dg snake eyes & resolute 2-pack destro
mask: poc zartan goggles, roc pit trooper gas mask, roc para-viper air hoses
i always liked him when i was young...he was just weird enough to be cool. so i tried to give my update a little dignity. i wanted the wings to look like painted, scratched metal...need to take a second shot at them. i also added the webgear, airtank and breathing mask to add a bit of realism to a guy wearing wings...
crystal ball
head: mu doctor strange
torso, lower arms, right lower leg and feet: bbts zanzibar
upper arms: 25th 5-pack zartan
upper legs: bbts gnaw
left lower leg: 25th blade destro
anyway...that's what i got for now...back to the workshop...

I dig them . Big time. Appreciated the parts breakdown and the short commentary, think I want to add a little commentary to mine in the future, if the Lord's willing. Personally, I like wacky character customs like crystal ball.

Seriously amazing mate,im just about to attempt Raptor and Crystal Ball for a mate. Hope they turn out half as good as yours!
Agent Cross says
As my 10 year old son would say: "That Muskrat is Boss!"
Very cool, I prefer yours to the night force, but by a margin of .05...
Guess they can have two different set ups... night and classic.
Great stuff.
Dragasses says
man, sorry to hear you're immobile, but that's darned spiffy work right there.
toxo is super pretty.

CG23 says
Awesome work!
Superjoe74 says
As a kid, I thought Raptor was one of the more ridiculous and 'over the top' figures but, this custom turned out really well. I would buy that at retail.
All of the other figures are cool too.
shawn says
