From the workshop of ska_lives:
“So a while back I made my first Fem-Viper, and shortly afterwards I scored a custom sculpt body and female viper heads. Thus I created this beauty. It took me forever to get this custom finished due to a combination of procrastination and having to sculpt up the lower torso to fill the gap between the two halves (torso stem was too long). Anywho, I hope you guys dig it, and as always commentary and crits are accepted!”

So it’s been a while since I’ve done a contest, so I decided to get off my ass and make it happen! One of my favorite years in the ARAH line was 1989. There were some great figures released that year… but the most kickass stuff in the line was the new vipers. I’m of course talking about Alley Viper, Night Viper, Frag Viper, and Heat Viper. These 4, I remember thinking, are the baddest ass cobra figures I’d ever laid my 8 year old eyes upon. To this day, hasbro has never designed a viper that I thought looked as cool as these.
So what’s this contest about? Well, simply to discuss 1989. What were your favorites? Which ones do you want to see modernized? Discuss it [HERE]. That’s all you have to do to be eligible. The contest will end next Wednesday, Sepember 25th. All members are eligible. Once the contest ends, I will put all names in a hat, and draw the winner. Prize will ship within a week of the drawing. But what’s the prize you ask? Well, it’s these two guys. Both these members of the class of ’89 were only recently brought into the modern era, one by our friends at the club, and the other by hasbro after a long nap in the concept vault. Here they are:
From the mind of Vitruvianpro:
“I usually wait till I have 4 or 5 new guys to post something new, but this was so damned awesome I couldn’t wait. This is my opus, my most awesome thing ever.
I wish I could take credit for this, but really it was my brother’s idea. I told him I made the female Viper and repainted a male one to match, he said “great, all it needs now is a baby Viper”… welp, I immediately had ta build one.”
