Ice-Viper Officer

Post by HugeBadWolf »

Got this guy from eBay a couple of weeks ago, just got round to taking a few photos...

Impressed with him, and he looks great alongside the regular IVs
The extra paint apps on the vest and weathering on the legs really make the figure.

He did come with the same missile/ski sled thing as the previous IV, but I can't find it ATM

Cheers,
Doug

They actually painted the visor red on him no idea why they didn't do it for the trooper. It's a good figure I wouldn't mind one myself.

Agreed. That looks to be a nicely put together figure. Now if they'd have put them on nice Retro cards I'd have bought loads.

Not to take steam out of your sails HugeBad but here is a pic of your figure with the Ski-pedo from Cobra Island.com. Image

If its like all the other 25th figs I'd expect it will be a "tug it straight upwards and it will pop off" style?

But back on topic I think they would make a great Arctic Shad.
