Range Vipers are equipped with state of the art weapons, full ammo load and the best in outdoors survival gear....

But only one set of each. Ever.

Should any of their gear fail, weapon break or run out of ammo while in the field, they must fix it or steal it. Which makes the Range Viper one of the most resourcefully Cobra Troopers the Joes face. This can be a double edged sword for Cobra, however. The more vicious Range Vipers are not above hitting Cobra supply depots or killing embedded Crimson Guardsmen for the cash they are know to keep in reserve.

The SnowJob backpack holds the radio, pistol and two canister grenades, which along with the Claymore mine, fit inside the bbi pack so the RV can wear it. The axe and grenade launcher are removeable too:

Now that's a kick@$$ concept right there! I gotta say, I like all of your 25th vipers, but this one has to be my favorite up to this point. Can't wait to see more. Nice job.

Yah, most scarylicious indeed. Love it, even the blue t-shirt that never made sense to me. Now, it's just something he scavenged from somebody's wash hanging out to dry at the Springfield Trailer Park.

Again, what's the recipe, yo? You never want to give those, man!

I love everything about this figure. The hard, mean look on his face. The basic, functional gear that he uses and the paint job is spot on.

That being said I'm not a fan of the helmet.

Its just too over the top even for something as goofy a concept as Cobra. These guys are supposed to be the hardest Cobra troops and that helmet just says "I belong on a scottish battlefield with a broadsword".

I like that you re-imagined the helmet. I just think its too much.

Thanks Jimbo, glad ya dig it. Was wondering what you'd think of the blue shirt. ;-)

Oh and sorry:
Figure is all 25th Roadblock, bbi head and gear, helmet is a modded GTG head.
That help?

Thanks for the comments guys!

I like the overall figure, but the protrusions on the skull do look out of place. If you look them off, you'd still have a badass looking skull mask.

That is one scary and crazy looking SOB, Brian. Great re-imagining of the character. The head you used for the helmet works great for a modern version of the range viper helmet. Must have taken quite a bit to dremel that thing out. Great job man.

He looks good. He makes me think of a Mortal Kombat character, but he looks good!

I agree with J-man, but wow! That's one fantastic custom. You have got to be the 3.75 gear master. He represents the feel of the original character, but the gear gives him a realistic feel.
