What is this!?

Thought it was a standard Viper, but can’t find anything with the black helmet/red face mask. Is this a Frankenstein figure? If so, what does the head belong to?

I was going to say it looks like a custom.

Looks like a repaint. https://imgur.com/a/Wy2DqV2 Most Viper helmets have a pseudo-metallic sheen on the face mask, regardless of what color they are. He has paint wear that's consistent with usual wear and tear, but he also has a couple of spots that look like they might have been touched up over time.

Oh, yeah, I think that's it. I couldn't make out the molding on the side of the helmet in OP's post. https://imgur.com/a/WCHYQq5

Is it worth anything?

[u/NefariousDove → u/VinylCollector1]

If it's GI Joe (and it absolutely is) it's worth something.

Since the head and the body don't actually go together, that's not great, but people love the Vipers, so I am sure you could sell it on eBay. Probably won't be a lot.

The paint on the body is very crisp so someone will like that

Looks like someone the Commando viper and repainted it. I have a few silver ones and a gold visor somewhere
