Cause he rocks, and is full of CYBER-power. I'd love to pick up a couple more, I kind see him/them as Arsenal Tengu from MGS2.
More to come (CUSTOMS!)

Oh Cyber Viper
Why do I like this figure sooooo much?

Deep down in the dungeon
The further down you go the more perilous it becomes adventurer. Just a quick one to start May.
Took a break/was being lazy with my customs, though I have been giving a bunch of Joes paint wipes on the skin for extra tone. But seriously back to it I go.

FOOTLOOSE time
AS if buying SDCC Jinx wasn't enough, I go and buy the 2012 club Footloose off a local seller whom I also purchased Jinx from.
Was it worth it? um... YEAH.
He's made from the soon to be released Kwinn (torso and arms), Sgt Slaughter Legs (no way I'm ever going to afford or justify spending the ammount of money asked online for that figure, I'm better off getting a Con box set or a bunch of Club subscription figures... or a platoon of Cobra soldiers).
His head was used for an earlier Club box set figure, very Tom Selleck looking, his helmet is too. The Webgear is from a comic pack Lt. Falcon, rides up a bit and isn't a good match for the torso size. Still a bot of boiling water helped stretch it slightly.
He comes with PoC Jungle Duke's gear (rifle, backpack, torch, machete and handgun) and Bazooka's bazooka and one shell(or whatever you call it) for that.
Since he has Kwinn's arms he has some glorious extra articulation in the wrists, the first that are straight up sculpted for flesh (Lifeline's were painted).
All in all a fantastic if pricey purchase.

The World's worst Archeolgist and WWF's public enemy number 1!
Lara Croft, been a long time since the 1st game came out in 1995. But that 3rd level: The Lost Valley is probably one of my favourite things in video games.
Shortened X-23's lower legs, added the harness and belt. Holsters are from RoC Elite/Desert Viper belts, as are the pouches and radio. The pony tail is cotton thread braided and glued into the head where I drilled a large enough port for it. some parts breakdown w.i.p:
Now for some action:
Well that's all for now... oh wait, have some Night Watch...

Time to get oiled up...
So I got a SDCC Jinx, and she's wonderful.
Seriously, a well made figure. The white training outfit SDCC Jinx has an unmasked head so I want one just for the head. Also the Red Ninja are another favourite of mine, easily outclassing the 25th Red Ninja and Marvel Universe Hand Ninja.

End of the month...
Time for O-rings!
Now I grew up with Transformers, Lego (soooo good), Dinoriders, M.A.S.K and a bit of Centurions. But the daddy of them all was G.I Joe. First figure was a 86 B.A.T and my first vehicle was the Tomahawk (my brother convinced me that the Havok was lame and that a helicopter was better to get, he got the Conquest X-30 and a B.A.T, and years before that Action Force releases of Bazooka and a Cobra Trooper).
So O'Rings, though they are not my focus with G.I.Joe, I will eternally love them. Something about the sculpts of those days I find so endearing now. Even now I'm half tempted to track down some 1998 Cobra infantry 3-packs...
A vintage HiSS I picked up that came with the Driver and a loose Major Bludd.
These JvC era O-ring 2-packs figures were some of the 1st Joes to see New Zealand shores since the early 90s. Along with them came those crap t-crotched wave 1 figures, later came the Spy Troops (2-3 waves) and 4 waves of Valor vs Venom along with some single carded repacks, hence why I have about 10 o-Ring Neo-Vipers in Blue. Quite why I have a HiSS IV I don't know... if I'm not so embarrassed I mike take a few pictures this year with it.
I love the Cobra Viper, my brother had the 86 Viper, his leg broke sadly back in the day. I did end up with the 1990/1 Sonic Viper who was gold and brown with a red visor. Somewhere down rhe line they lost the lower body parts and replaced them with B.A.T legs sometime after all the Extreme and Sgt Savage silly.
Seriously... Vipers are excellente. Maybe I should go get a few more O'Ring figures...
