I really hope these get the single card treatment!

Jesus, I'm caught in two minds here. I love the new Alley Viper, but hate the new boots! What the hell is the brown doing in this color scheme? The original boots were class. All black. It's like Hasbro always nearly get there, then fall at the last hurdle IMHO. I've seen better customs on these boards. Why the hell can't Hasbro do better? Don't get me wrong - the figure is a mighty step in the right direction, but they always seem to fall short.
Rant over. |

Generally I am a stickler for details, but this figure is so damn good that I am willing to overlook the brown leather pads on his boots (I'll just repaint them black anyways). This is definitely one of the best figures in the modern Joe line, though!

Alley viper has always been my favorite figure. After a long talk with my wife about how much I love Alley Viper, but not as much as I loved her, I decided to bid on that auction. I figured I'd go up to $75.00 for it, I didn't think I'd win. Now I have to try and pull the knife and grenade off and glue them back on correctly.

edit: I'll get 1 of these cobra private security riot guys. Only because they come in the 7 pack I'll be getting. I'm not a fan of the new face shield. If the cobra logo was flat, instead of indented then it would look better n' make sense. BUT HAY! THEY'RE JUST TOYS SO F IT...................WHO CARES!!!

We can imagine that but it doesn't state that anywhere in the file cards. It does say blast shield. It's just I like the card art and it shows the face shield down under the eyes.
I'm jumping the gun a bit but I'm already looking forward to the repaints of these! You know Hasbro is gonna do that!

If it were me running around in urban warfare, I'd want to be able to see most of the time, but if a bomb or bullets were heading my way, I'd rather drop a faceshield down that blocked anything coming through, whether I could see or not, at least the last thing I'd see wouldn't be a bullet heading straight to my eyeballs. |
