Glad to hear everyone was all right, Siege -- and that's definitely some good news about the future figures!

Got a set of the most recent (all gray) Vipers. These are molded in gray, so legs, waist, and torso are not painted. The backpacks fit without modification of the back hole. Helmets still need to be dremeled out to avoid paint rubs on head.

How did I not see this thread?

Thanks everyone, for the praise! It put a big smile on my face to find this thread and see everything here is positive! I'm still in the beginning phases of all this, so there are minor QC issues - unavoidable I'm afraid. It's all part of the learning process. I'm always happy to replace any glaring errors or breakage at my expense (including shipping).

I can say that every figure I do gets better than the last. That is my driving force. That is what I work towards for every run - to be better than the last run. I am currently looking to (slightly) softer plastic (about 10% softer) for the forearms. I am trying to eliminate the need to fully paint the figures. Addressing the tight fitting backpacks (and hopefully the helmet too).

Bear with me. I'll get there eventually.

I haven't got any big news to share today, but I will absolutely do so here in the future. There are currently 6 or 7 new paint schemes in development, and one or two new figures as well! I would never want to pull anyone away from here (I love this place - I've made a near 20 year career of lurking through these halls); but if you're on Facebook, and want to see behind the curtains so-to-speak, search out RedLasersArmy

Thanks!

Always great to hear from you, RL. Can't say enough good things about the Iron BATs you sold me. Can't wait to grab some Vipers. :D

Picked up a set of eel vipers and desert both are great. the added bonus of having eel gear for my arah eels is fantastic.

Maybe RL'll offer up the accessories later on alone... :twisted:

Still waiting for Arctic Vipers like the 25th colors and Jungle Vipers in hopefully Jungle camo-colors

Okay, so I got an Iron Grenadiers B.A.T. -- I loved the compatible color scheme -- and a Desert Viper. Come on, I live in Arizona. How could I NOT want a Desert Viper.

And I just noticed something about the Desert Viper -- which I assume is true for the other Viper variants Red Laser is making. The figure has the ORIGINAL lower body and legs from the original 1986 Viper, something that Hasbro didn't use after the original run of the line, instead substituting the B.A.T. lower body and legs from 1997 on, until they remade the upper legs for the final Vipers in the 2006 Viper Pit set.

Don't know where Red Laser got the original parts, but I am VERY pleased and impressed about that! :-D

Really, very impressed with both of these. These are some great figures! I'm happy. :) :) :)

All of Red Laser's figures are brand new tooling. He is learning a lot and has huge plans.

I'm crossing my fingers for a series of O-ringed figures of characters we never got in ARAH style.

Well, that'd explain it. I'm glad he had an original Viper for reference, though, at least! There were some cool Viper versions from Hasbro after the original line, but the original legs would've been nice.

I like the way you think.

If the current offerings are successful, I believe, long term, this is something Red Laser would love to do.

I just want more available figures of Carla Doc in the o-ring style and maybe o-ringed versions of Shooter and Freestyle. The Joeteam needs more black women, damnit.

Little of both, really. Our temperatures have been in the high 80's most of this week.
