I just opened up both a BAT and Snow Serpent and they kick @$$!!!!
- Perfect articulation
- Tight joints
- Hands that can actually hold there weapons
- They can actually AIM there weapons at the firing position
- They can stand on there own
- Harder/Durable plastic
- Goggles STAY on the figure!!!!!
The list can go on and on so my question to Hasbro is:
How the heck did Hasbro get everything right with both of these figures yet they completely screwed up the Viper?

I like both of them and I really like the viper. If the single cards were still $4.88 I would have bought more vipers. They look awesome.

Vipers look awesome and the goggle issue can be remedied by glueing. However, that does not excuse the fact that they don't stand worth a crap.

Anyone come up with a magical way of getting the Vipers to stand on their own?

Yeah, turn the foot to the side and bend it back and forth a few times, then put the foot back in the correct position and your all good. Did that to my 7 Vipers and they stand fine now.

For some reason you have to move the feet and ankle around a little when you first get them once you do that they stand up very well

B.A.T.s have to be my favorite army builder so far in this line. I have no flaws with them. Snow Serpents are equally awesome.

i agree w/ you man but theirs a question going around my head:

This sounds like a fairly good description of the Viper, actually. Still the best two handed rifle grip of any 1/18 scale action figure I've ever seen. And, the goggles stay on fine, if you just push the fronts of them down a bit. Say what you will about the ankles, but they're still better than the Crimson Gaurdsman's.
Now, the siegie! That mofo's got some seriously resticted ankles.
I wish I could find a BAT. :(

I like the Vipers. But the BATs and Snow Serpents look awesome. Can't wait to get ahold of some. I like to troop build, and I love the arctic Joes. Still wish I could get some more HISS Drivers.

Every time I see someone say Vipers can't hold a gun my urge to kill rises.

The way I see it is Vipers are about the only figures that CAN hold their guns.

I was gonna get a few, but I'll wait for the arctic set. These nice little platoon sets were a great idea by Hasbro.

MUST BE NICE!!! I still haven't found any of the NEW wave 9 figures. I found a few Torpedos and Wild Bills in wave 9 packaging lastnight but alas, the new wave 9 figures were all gone! :(
Totally sucks that I was on vacation last week! I could of had all of them if I hadn't been stuck up in Indiana/ black hole country. :mad:
I go back to work tonight, so maybe I'll find SOMETHING! (wishful thinking)
