Night Fighting Guile, 1993 Firefly Head
If Firefly is going to lead the Shadow-Vipers (see separate custom entry), then he should look the part. I took an additional Night Fighting Guile body and 1993 Firefly head to create this figure. Originally I made him an entirely separate individual called Shadow-Master, but I was never entirely happy with that. Then, after the 2006 Convention Set, which saw Major Bludd get his own personal army with the Skull Squad, it occurred to me that a lot of Cobra's top personnel had their own armies -- Destro had his Iron Grenadiers, Zartan had his Dreadnoks, and since I'd used the Firefly head for these figures, why not? So I remade "Shadow-Master" a bit. He's still a little more advanced-looking than the Shadow-Vipers. There's more grey trim on him, and to lend that "Firefly" look, I made the "V-neck" area look like the grey camouflage of his classic uniform. The other area I painted grey were the wrist-bands, to sort of showcase Firefly's ninja training a bit. He now leads the Shadow-Vipers. But are they all loyal to Cobra? Or to Firefly...
