Any one have any of these? I think these look pretty great.

Any idea if there are any plans to make any others. So far I only see Alley and Secto viper. I would really like heat viper and astrovipers. Also Night Force would be pretty awesome.

Yeah, they are on the 'bay. I have seen them and the set I'd be most interested in him doing is a Night-Viper set.

So these are kits to replace commonly missing parts from vintage figures? Very cool idea, especially if they come in accurate colours, like the Alley Viper. There are a lot of figures that could use this kind of thing.

Oh yes, this would be most welcome. One of the reasons I've never really made a supreme effort to snag some of those is because of the arms.

I know there are lots of repro accessories out already, but many are easy to spot. These ones though will really complicate things for collectors wanting ORIGINAL parts.

$8 for just the accessories? Those reproduction kits would cost less than $.50 each to produce once the cost of the tool is covered.

Playing Devil's Advocate here. Its still cheaper than tracking down the original accessories - particularly for the Secto Viper. And at a higher price point, makes it less enticing to sell a figure as complete using said repro items.
