I think the reason why the Cobra Viper is warming the pegs is because the scalpers bought up all the Cobra Vipers by the boat load and put them on e-bay to sell them for a marked up price. Thats what the Scalper was thinking.
Because, scalpers know that collectors love army builders. But it back fired on the scalper. You see, the Viper has a flaw, a flaw that most collectors don't like. You all know what I mean, those Funky Wrist. I still haven't picked up the version 3 Snake-eyes with the butterfly knives because of those darn night vision goggles that weren't part of that uniform originally. Anyway, before I get too far off topic.. The Vipers are very easy to find in my area, the ones that are impossible to find thus far are the B.A.T.S. |

I think Hasbro over-anticipated the demand for a troop builder figure that turned out to be sub standard.

Dang guys, I love the Viper figures. They hold their weapons good and look great on display.
I pick em up anytime I see one. To be honest with you I have not even seen that many at my stores I go to. Now I will say, everything else from the wave is gone though. So I guess maybe collectors did not like them, but I know I sure do. |

Belt mod pics incoming.
Really a simple procedure that improves the look of the Viper tenfold. And yes, I have almost zero photography experience. |
