I'm a big fan of these and all the PP and I'll be picking several up.
No vintage comparison shot?! |
I hate the stories created for Python Patrol in cartoon and comic so I'd rather make up my own.
So for me the Python Officer servers as Major Bludd's command squad (I like the black uniforms next to his black armour). And Python CG... yeah I might use 4 of them for Serpentor's throne guard or something.
(plus by more for custom/repaints). |

It's odd that, unlike Tiger Force, the deco on the figs doesn't match up with the deco on the vehicles, but in any case I like the "superhero comic" design on these guys.
Again, I'm baffled by people who want military realism in their Joes. I watched the DVD's... Shipwreck is flying a jet with a parrot in the freaking cockpit. yeah. Realism.

I REALLY hope we get PP Viper before it's over, he was my favorite...

| | Drug Kingpin Join Date: May 2008 Location: Classified Posts: 1,064 | I loved the Python Patrol as a kid and I love them now. Infact I wish Hasbro would just release the trooper, Tele-viper, and corrected PP Copperhead in one wave. If all we're going to get is repaints, why not repaints of classic factions that atleast some of us actually enjoy?
P.S. A high or low rating shouldn't be based on "Oh I hate that guy!", it should be based on whether or not it does the original figure or character justice.

Prove me wrong? Maybe? | |
