As for AVs and bladed weapons, I think it's fairly natural to have them. I always imagined that the business end of the AV shields were sharpened for melee combat (think very much like the Uruk-hai when he pinned Strider to that tree). Paired with a short sword (gladius in style, perhaps) things could get ugly. Shadow Tracker's falcata/kopis-style machete would have been a better accessory choice. Wouldn't save it from it's horrific color scheme, but you can't win them all. |

Looks fine I guess. I'm not a huge fan of the color scheme and I wish the paint apps were a little better on this guy, for example: there's no reason why the straps on his legs should not be painted.

I like the figure, but I'm going to have to figure out where exactly he's going to fit in to "the ranks" of my Cobra Army. I suspect he'll be some kind of officer position or "elite Alley Viper" or whatnot so I won't likely be buying too many of them.
I really dug how the Alley Vipers, Rage, and Deviant Mech all had a mostly-unified color scheme in RoC. This guy kinda throws that outta whack. Or maybe these will serve as "Crimson Alley Vipers" since everyone else seems to get Crimson these days. Actually, come to think of it...I just had an idea that may see me restructuring my Cobra organization in my headcanon Joe-verse. |

Not a fan of this red color scheme as we already got maroon but If Hasbro would do an urban camo color scheme (greys, blues and blacks) I'd spaz and buy at least 50! Bring on one in all navy and black to match the blue shirts and one in army greens I'll buy 100s more.

I also wish he came with the OG head and not the Resolute head. I would have bought even more...

I wish Viperskingdom would restock, or empty the Hasbro factory trash cans again, or whatever it is he does so I can get one of these, and the Cyber Ninja.

I hate the bright red, feels like Hasbro is going through the 90's phase again! I hope they will snap out of it.
