NEW VEHICLE ACQUIRED!
I also got a Ferret ATV in the same trip. I guess I should have showed it piloted by

and

, as in some catalog pics, but I guess the new guy should be the first one to use the new vehicle, so

(HISS Driver) gets the ride today.
However, I'm thinking that

would look better piloting the MAGGOT (Though then he should be renamed MAGGOT Driver

). What do you think?

I got

(HISS Driver) in Temuco. There were just him and a Tiger Force Flint, so seemingly now I must wait for the ROC stuff (despite Flint having a more "classic" look than my Flint fig, I think it's better await for 2-packs to get duplicated a character with the excuse of getting his packmate).
Now I also have a new chara with a Muticon of his own! Yay!
That happened to me DA I had 2 Cobra Commanders so I donated one to the Anniversary prize draw we had

Who's the yellow Alley Viper, is it a custom of yours?

The one with the yellow mask and shield? he's a knockoff version of the same one at his right (left to the viewer). He looks more yellow than the other Alley Viper because his accessories (mask, backpack, shield) were made with yellow plastic rather than black. I bought him at a little store in Temuco many years ago. The Blue Cross-Country and some others are also from there, just like my Blast Off (Combaticon, not Mega-Marine, now repurposed as Movor since I got another Blast Off as part of a Combaticon giftset).

I believe it's an unauthorized variant, but the blister was written in English, so I think the figure was made in USA and shipped, so maybe there could have been some sent to Ireland and now being re-sold. Sorry, but I'm keeping mine (I also appreciate a lot having that unofficial variant), so it's the only hope I can give you.
One warning, however; if you find it, the figure doesn't sit very well, the hips bend just a little.

Here is the Alley Viper along with his accessories. I lifted his mask to signal his inner mask is grey rather than yellow (why? I don't know).
