I have had this guy done for a while now, just sitting on my desk yelling at me.

This is a simple conversion using a Gridiron Studios “Telecomm Set” on a Cobra Viper body. I chose the Viper body for the quilted pads on the thighs and vest. I painted purple on the thighs and vest accents to match the Tele-Viper. The absolute centerpiece though is the Marvel Legends “The Hood” screaming head. That was the part that brought it all together. I’m mostly a fan of neutral expressions but this one was too good not to use here.

The reason this isn’t a straight up Tele-Viper is that about a month after I finished it Hasbro revealed they are making one of their own. Hence the name and bio.

Bio: Viper Comms Officers begin as regular frontline Tele-Vipers who then undergo Viper training. After serving (surviving) six months of active duty as a Viper they go on to intensive communications and counter-intelligence training. The active duty under fire experience makes the comm officer better prepared for their position as the sole link between command and their team while in the field.

Head: Marvel Legends “The Hood”
Body, vest: Cobra Island Viper
Gear: Gridiron Studios “Telecomm Set”

That's great looking.

I love all the Gridiron Studios stuff but can't bring myself to pay more for a few accessories then I do for the whole figure. But... this is making me rethink that slightly

Thanks!

Yeah the price is definitely an issue, but the pieces are all finished so little work is needed when you receive them. I’m finding that I lean more towards the character kits than individual pieces. If a kit strikes my fancy then its worth it to me especially now that I have a few of these and know what to expect in regards to quality. These aren’t toy parts, they’re model kit parts. Things meant to accent posing and photography, not kids play patterns.

Man I love all the parts on this. I mean, sure, the Gridiron gear is amazing, but that screaming face really sells it.
