I picked him up on ebay from viperskingdom and thought I would share the photos. I wasnt 100% about getting him because of the parachute vest. Boy was I surprised to see he came with his original shock trooper vest. Noticable differences besides colors is that he does not have the cobra symbol on his arm patches or his vest. It is on the back of his vest still but up high on the shoulder. Another thing is the red used for the mask and goggles is much brighter which makes it more clear. I included a picture of my Shock Trooper team and I found a use for the parachute which I also included. Sorry for my crappy photography. Oh, he also comes with instructions that tells you how to switch out his vests which sort of made me laugh.
COBRA !!!!! I bought 3 more rofl !!

Well they were 17 each shipped. Was a good deal I think. Goes with my color scheme for cobra more then the blue ones. I also was curious of what gear would really be included.

If he has the vest in the retail set, I'll happily buy up a few.

Yeah, the vest surprised me. They just removed that half cobra symbol from the front of it, but kept the the long COBRA down the back of the vest in black n white.

Seriously, I'm not getting the red themed Cobra special forces of Retaliation.
In the event that Hasbro releases Range Viper in red, I'm gonna piss needles.

What a terrible color scheme for an otherwise great figure.
Seriously... Grey and red? Didn't any of the designers at Hasbro take Color Theory in college? |
