The OG Range-viper's helmet looks like the new vipers in the movie. I wonder if they are going to reuse the helmet mold for him? Those pics are kind of a tease, seeing them without weapons and stuff, lol... but they are cool!!!!!!!

But I'm guessing they will also have Rock and Rolls bandoliers. |

I assumed they are removable, maybe not.

More Vipers = Awesome, just hope I can get some down here in the antipodes.
I will probably have to get the Joe pack to if only for Recondo the virtualy Australian GI joe, and Chuckles cause he was prominent in the comic. I wonder what the Range and Alley Vipers helmet will be like, will the Alley Vipers visor still blind him? or will they rework it and make it slightly more logical. While I like the classic Alley Viper colours I hope they throw a more urban repaint at us one day to. If it sells as well as it seems it might from reading this board, Hasbro should make another set with Night,Frag, and Saw Viper + more. |

Here's a parts list for those who are curious about the build list and comments. Overall, I'm really happy to see these guys, and will cheerfully plunk down the cash for them. Obviously they don't have all their gear yet, so here's hoping that they look good complete.
Alley Viper: head-new upper arms-Snake Eyes v3 lower arms-new vest-new torso-Snake Eyes v3 thighs/knees-Snkae Eyes v3 feet-new A very nice recipe, and superb new sculpting on the new parts gives us a figure that looks familiar, but at the same time is different enough that it doens't feel like a lazy ape-ing of the past. Looking forward to seeing him with gear. Chuckles: head-new torso-Spirit arms-Spirit legs-Flint w/ knife sheathe Exactly what I expected. The new shirt pattern is nice, but subdued and swapping out the holster for a knife sheathe is good. The headsculpt is very nice, but the Spirit arms leave a little to be desired (new hands). Overall it's pleasing and get's the point across with the minimum of new tooling which I'm 100% certain was the idea for all these figures. Mindbender: head-new harnes-new torso-Quick Kick arms-Twins thighs/knees-Quick Kick lower legs-Viper Intersting build, and choices. Again, very effective and the new parts are excellent. Hit & Run: whole figure/helmet-Airborne chest harness-Jet Pack Duke waist harness-Airborne While it's exactly what I expected (down to the exact parts choices) I am disappointed. While Hit & Run is a 2nd-3rd tier character in the main, Joe fans in the "know" all love this guy and are ready for a more modern tactical design. This figure looks like a bad custom, but since it's the first new version since 1988 I'll take it. Lampreys: head/vest-new upper torso-Torpedo lower torso-Snow Job arms/legs-Snow Job Again, excellent new parts make the old one shine. While I'm not 100% on the Snow Job parts for this guy, I think I'll be able to overlook them easily enough once it's in hand. Night Creeper: head-new harness-new torso-Greenshirt arms-TF Flint legs-Storm Shadow feet-new The only thing I'd change here is the forearms. Not really picturing these guys wearing a watch whose glare might give them away, other than that though it's perfect (if a bit slavish). Outback: head-new harness-new torso-Greenshirt arms-TF Flint thighs-COBRA Soldier lower legs-new The new headsculpt (tres' old school comics) and the new harness really look superb, and the only niggle I have is the skinniness of the Soldier thighs compared to the new lower legs. Still, I'll be happy with it. Range Viper: head-Beach Heac torso/arms-Resolute COBRA Trooper thighs-Resolute COBRA Trooper knees-Snake Eyes v3 feet-new (same as Alley Viper) Hard to say just how this one is going to look without gear, but it's a good start so far, and kudos for using the ResTrooper stuff so quickly. Recondo: head-new arms-TF Duke body/legs-Dusty With the exception of the 3/4 sleeves, exactly what I expected (even down the the body choice). The Dusty parts suit this figure perfectly, and with some cool gear this will be a winner. SPC. Altitude/Ripcord: head-Red Star torso-Viper arms-Airborne thighs-Dusty knees/lower legs-Ace Fantastic way to work in Ripcord for us. This figure (to my knowledge) thus far uses parts from more figures than any other to frankenstein the right look. While I'm not 100% on the head choice, everything else is WIN! Now let's see some cool gear for him, and not the Blowtorch helmet and mask I'm dreading they'll use. Strato Viper: head-new harness-new torso-Ace arms-new thighs-Ace lower legs-new What can I say about this, other than WIN!!! Wet Suit: head-new harness-new torso-Torpedo arms-Greenshirt legs-Torpedo I hope that harness is a half-finished mock up. It's plain, and looks like it was glued together poorly out of extra bits. The new headsculpt is good, but IMHO if your going to go with this design for Wet Suit why not go all the way and make him in the orange or yellow and black colorscheme that more suits the basic layout. Still, it's better to have than have not. Zap: head-new helmet-small Greenshirt torso-Greenshirt arms-Greenshirt thighs-new lower legs-Skyduster/Clutch/Steeler Really, I don't think we could expect better given that these are all bashes for Zap. New harness [check], great new headsculpt sans moustache [check], proper color green [check]. Add a moustache and the mid sized helmet that came with Shockblast and it'll be perfect. Been trying to post this here for the last couple of days, but with the deluge of traffic it's been impossible. If some of the minor faux pas' aren't fixed before these things hit market, I'll have some fixes ready for those who just can't live with whatever issue a particular figure might have. |
