Awesome!

Do you have a Platoon element of Python Troopers for the Python CGs to command? I am thinking you could have a Python CG detachment of 3. One as the Commander, and one as the Intelligence Officer, and the other as the XO.

A display photo of that would be AWESOME!!!!

Man, I’m so glad they’re making him. I always loved the original and this one’s a perfect update of it. THIS is a good repaint.

Thanks for the picture BTW.

I will get one of each PP figure. I hope they do the Viper, Tele-viper and the Trooper (though I think of the Officer as the Trooper and such). We are getting PP Copperhead and I want to make them an Elite Squad.

Python Viper, Python Officer and Tele-Viper would be very easy for Hasbro to produce. The molds already exist, so come on Hasbro!!!!!

Complete the team!!!!

Same applies to Copperhead, and he comes with the new Water Moccasin.

It's a great figure, but I get frustrated with Hasbro. I have or will have two Tiger Force commanders and two python patrol lackies. They should either commit and give us a repaint TF or PP in each wave or not tease us.

Well the Water Moccasin is coming with PP Copperhead instead of another regular one.

Yeah I am waiting on mine too, this is the ONLY PP figure Hasbro has got right thus far. Even the Python Patrol Copperhead coming out is CRAP.

Im glad I took the time to make my set, one of my top centerpieces of my Joe collection.

Well China always gets things way before we do, so who to say they haven't already been released over there? LOL

Shiets dude, I could have told you that smart-ass! lol

Well then why ask about them enforcing sales before they debut? ; )

There is no law about importing figures before they are released over here. Just cost you more money usually and most of the time you don't get them carded or with stands.. sucks, but some people just can't wait. LOL I bought mine only cause they were cheap.

Man its a good thing the pythonizing process makes them invisible to radar or instrument detection. Cuz those suckers are bright!

Do they come with weapons? Cause usually those from China doesn't... like the BATs, SRO CGs, Desert Freds & Ultimate BP Destro

GI JOE 25th anniversary PYTHON PATROL crimson guard - eBay (item 290265748695 end time Oct-08-08 12:46:17 PDT) (http://cgi.ebay.com/GI-JOE-25th-anniversary-PYTHON-PATROL-crimson-guard_W0QQitemZ290265748695QQihZ019QQcategoryZ2467 QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262)

20 left!

I bought 15 of the pigs and got them last week. Pretty sweet except they don't come with file cards or stands.

I have a hunch that these figs are paint app error rejects from the factory. All of the figs have minor paint app errors like thin paint in some spots or smudges on the yellow.
