A specialized set of Toxo Vipers, Pox Vipers use infected monkeys to spread disease.

The thing about the nameless, faceless Cobra Legions is that they are more intimidating encased in their uniforms and helmets.

That said, seeing the face of this character ans this specialty is a little weird.

The colors and design is cool though. I can't tell what the base figure was.

Saw the picture with the backpack, read description, thought "oh please let that be a monkey back pack." Was not disappointed. .

A ginger with a porn-stache who throws diseased monkeys at people is the hero our world needs right now.

who's a cheeky monkey?

looks like you made some bad fodder into a great figure to me! primate origin x :) so reminds me of that sad monkey movie "project x" iirc, that one poor monkey never got his last smoke! if you haven't seen "monkey kingdom" it is surprisingly good, and shows just how fast they could infiltrate and infect a city.

I love this. The idea is brilliant and the colors really pop. He fits right in with Cobra Commander's motley crew of characters.

I really dig the figure, the accessories, and the idea behind it. It would be Cobra that uses cute monkeys to kill millions.

Everything about it is just the right amount of weird for classic Cobra. The Toxo-Viper like colors, the creepy concept, the animal accessories. It's just believably "off" in all the right ways.

Thanks, guys!

As far as this being an individual character (when the ginger head is on it), I designed the character as unique one named Frass. Frass is the technical term for insect excrement. The waste comes from fleas, which are carried on the monkeys, which Frass totes around. Once I got around to finding a paint scheme, a modified Toxo Viper one just worked the best. The character became an army builder (or an individual if the unmasked head is displayed). The monkeys, by the way, are named "Slow Roll" and "Talent Show". The best part of this project was that I got to use Pox Viper, Frass, Slow Roll, and Talent Show from my codenames-to-use list.

And the parts are:

Head: 25A Bazooka
Alternate helmet head: 25A Cobra Jet Pack Trooper
Neck: Retaliation Roadblock cast
Chest/Back: Star Wars- Han Solo (Bespin outfit)
Arms (down to gloves): ROC Snake-Eyes (arctic assault)
Gloves: 25A Serpentor
Waist, legs: Star Wars- Dr. Evazan
Vest: NS Sand Viper
Backpack: 25A Zartan???
Turkey baster: ROC Cobra Commander
Sidearm: ???
Small monkey: Indiana Jones- Marion Ravenwood
Large monkey: The Golden Compass- Mrs. Coulter
