First up is an Alley Viper Officer, a direct ARAH copy of the Fury driver, and someone to order my ARAH POC AV around.

This one developed from me wanting to use the 1991 Cobra Commander helmet for something, and then I got a few of the POC CC head in a lot from eBay. I wanted a jungle Cobra Commander to visit my Jungle Terror Drome, so I got the idea to try an ARAH figure inspired by the unreleased jungle Cobra Commander, but combined the POC faceplate with the 1991 CC helmet. It kind of combines the two least accepted CC versions.

There are few vintage figures I can really say I hate. The 1992 Eels is at the top of the list. The figure is awful IMO, not just as an Eel, but as a figure. BUT, I love the idea of torpedo firing mechanical sharks that can be ridden by divers.

So, I tried to make an Eel that could use the shark to propel him under water. He had to have his breather gear on his chest instead of his back, so I used the Undertow chest, but then found the PTE SEAL breather accessory and adapted it.

The AV is so simple yet works perfectly.

Good use of parts on CC. I don't know if you justified that head for CC but it doesn't look bad here at all.

I like the EEL. Using that rebreather is pretty smart.

That Eel rules with awesome sauce! The other figures are great as well, but damn I loves me the Eels.

Your work always floors me.
But think out of this set, the CC stands out the most. Love the Alley Viper as well.
