About Me: I have been an avid toy collector ever since I was a kid. My favorite toy lines are Transformers, Star Wars, and GI Joe. I decided to make a website called www.actionfigurecustoms.com to capture all of the customs that are being bought and sold on eBay. I hope everyone finds it useful and please email me with any questions or if you have a custom you would like me to blog about, let me know!

Night Viper Custom GI Joe 3 3/4" Cobra Figure by Alyosha

Alyosha brings a late 1980's GI Joe classic figure to life with his Custom Night Viper 3 3/4" figure. An army builders favorite, this Night Viper is well equipped to sneak into the dark of night with an updated color scheme which favors black more than green. I really like the subdued version of the night vision goggles that Alyosha made for this Night Viper. Here are some great attributes about Alyosha's customs that make them unique:

"This figure is cast in the same high grade urethane rubbers I usually use in all my products. It is cast in the base colors of black/green and painted with the highest quality Tamiya and Testors paints to allow for maximum playing and posing (but remember, it's still a custom). The figure is fully posable and comes with a removable helmet, backpack and rifle as shown."

You can own this one of kind figure by heading over to Alyosha's auction for his Custom Night Viper GI Joe figure. If you want to get the skinny on the Night Vipers, read on below.

A NIGHT-VIPER's helmet is a miracle of electronic-miniaturization. Aside from its wide-angle, third-generation, image-intensifier, directional sound amplifier and laser range-finder, the helmet boasts a passive infrared detector that can spot the body heat of a squirrel at 100 yards. The Night-Viper's helmet, combat suit and weapons are mostly made of synthetic composites that reduce the wearer's own infrared signature and defy most ground radars."Night-Vipers are always in traning and never see daylight. They live in windowless barracks with no interior lights. They spend most of their time trying to sneak up on each other. All you have to do to knock one out is to shine a flashlight in his face and burn out his sensors. The problem is, you have to find him first."
