Thanks to the amazing generosity of Mswi Customs, he cast me a Laser Viper helmet. I can now share this custom with you guys.
From the 2012 Concept Vault, here is Laser Viper...

Not a fan of the fantasy/future characters in JOE, but I have to agree - this looks awesome for what it is.

It would be cool, imo, if his lower legs had something similar to his arms. The riding boot look kinda gives it that 70's scifi vibe. But that's not your fault.

Should have said something, I think I have an ARAH helmet I could have sent you.

You don't like the future era of Gijoe?!? :D

Gotta agree with everyone above though. Fantastic job

Nope, it's too silly looking to me. Everything about this figure screams of "Moonraker".
I do like it, but the boots set it back design-wise.

I like to pretend that gun that came with both POC Beachhead and ROC Baroness fires caseless ammunition. That's why it looks like a weird laser gun.

I have a higher tolerance for the sci-fi aspects than most, I think, and I still don't like the laser vipers. This is a great one, though.

I seem to recall hearing that was based on some future weapon in the Battlefield games.
This one, maybe? http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Baur_H-AR
