Hey all!
Newest custom is actually a minor update to an already awesome figure. Who remembers this guy?:
This is the G.I. Joe Retaliation Cyber Ninja. Cool piece with nice design, articulation and accessory loadout. In my opinion, that head.
THAT HEAD! Why? WHY?! Needs to go...
Ok. I joke. It's just alright but I wanted to do better. This is one of the very few times I've bought a figure just to fix it. I bought him and replaced his head:
The head is from the Retaliation Data Viper, which I also picked up for this project. Blue highlights were added to make it work with the rest of his suit.
Additional accessories include a loose ROC laptop and Data Viper's drone. The drone also received some minor highlights.
This all culminates into an even better Cyber Ninja. What we got was some guy who's a master of stealth with superhuman reflexes, assassination and stealth skills. Then I thought "that's it?" Here we have a living weapon of the future and we're content with just the physical aspect of the character? Too cliche.
So I instead combined aspects of the Data Viper! Cyber Ninja is both a sick black hat hacker and cyber assassin infiltrator! He's a cyber terrorist in both the field and silicone valley. You need a dude murdered and a virus planted to sink his company simultaneously? Here's your guy.
His 'pet' drone can protect and scout for him whilst he's on his laptop up to something sinister. His new helmet may allow him extra capabilities to code. Not to mention everything his suit and equipment can already allow him to do like keep up with the likes of Snake Eyes. Love this guy more now.
