I love G I Joe.
And when I create figures I do it to set a bar. Some difficult to surpass and a concept I feel that should represent what we deserve as fans.
After my monstrosity of a shockwave, This is one I?m proud to have finished. It?s simple but beyond complex at the same time.
A lot of us grew up on Deep six, eels, torpedo and wet suit. All great figures. All Great characters.
But my favorite has always been the most vibrant and sinister .
The augmentation human fish demon of the sea, Hydro Viper.
I wanted to blend a demon, a Navy SEAL and alien together while paying the utmost respects to the OG while making his load out more modernized.
Fucking crazy when you think about it.
Went with light purples and deep maroon undertones , a fierce darker red with yellow eyes.
Did away with the manta Ray and gave him something to move through the ocean fast with. Equip with sonar and a place holder for his harpoon.
Double blades for homage.
Gill hand Becuase I love representing the classics so another nod to the designers.
Here?s my classified version The Demon of the Sea:

Fantastic! The only thing better than the quality of your work is your character selection. Photography is not half bad, either!

Amazing as always. I love the pearlescent effect on the wet suit and the fact that is a darker tone
Of course the outer helmet is iconic, but I also really like that facemask.
And I also really liked Shockwave. The blues were amazing.
CG23 says
Outstanding. Love it
Breakerfan says
Damn, this is marvelous! I love the paint job and color choice on the wetsuit. The mask straps on the head are a nice touch. And that helmet and fins..
I think this might be my favorite one I've seen you do.

Damn, he looks really cool! I especially like that gradient on the purple parts, feels very 80s lol

Slice, that is truly an amazing piece. Still have my original Hydro Viper and he’s one of my favorites. Everything from the parts to the paint is masterfully crafted. Damn.

Wow!!!! I never liked this figure, but this custom has changed my mind. Really like the mask and the wetsuit paint job!!!
Mr Hebime says
Simply fantastic! I want Hasbro to get to this guy but I know deep down it would never look as good as your version.
