Beautiful. They finally did it. You know, Hasbro... I owe you an apology.
It's been a long ride. I'm sorry I tried to bribe you with hookers and drugs. And I'm sorry I showed up wearing a dress and a suicide vest. Please tell your children I am sorry for telling them that they will be orphans. I'm also sorry for any incriminating pictures I may have attempted to blackmail you with, and I'm flattered that you believe that they are photoshopped- I take that as a compliment on my skills. |

But, why do they label him "City Strike" SE, under ROC packaging? Are all new releases, even figures of characters from Resolute going to be under the ROC carding, and the fans will have to know which are movie figures and which ones are based off Resolute?
So far the Resolute characters released (along with this Snake Eyes when its released) will be Cobra Commander, Cobra Trooper, Duke, Snake Eyes. How many other "Resolute" characters would be left? |

So, basically, you're complaining that is a repaint?
For someone that sports an avatar, a sig -of a repaint no less- and ask for the same character done already to death (44 versions at least!) that sounds a bit silly. You're also complaining of a bit of extra gear, which can be used on another figure, as the others are complaining about Duke having a sword and call it lazy and stupid shit...while most of the cobra army doesn't make sense at all? I understand that you don't like the look of the figure, that's ok, as i don't like the normal vipers for example. But these figures, and specially the desert viper, despite of being a repaint (like half the 25th stuff!) it's well done. A ton of gear to use on whatever you want, better articulation, detailed painting... Just as you "dont get why yall are so excited about an elite viper.." there's a lot of other people swearing that they don't understand the likes of whinners. Let's not jump all over the place. I specifically am talking about this particualr viper. I do not see anything remotley close to making this a "new" character as is exclaimed to high heaven. He has a bland name, bland unifrom, bland accessories. I don't care if he had 1 gun or 45 of them it does not make the character the ACTUAL character any better. Might as well bring back the multi weapon packs and figure stand packages that would make more sense for this accessory hard on. Instead of trying to compare this to the repaints of the 25th since everyone thinks this line is seriously better for some unknown reason, why not look at it the way that it is? One more of those suposed vipers you do not like. Interesting huh? Now back to the figure, it is pretty disapointing. When I saw I thought it was a new head and was going to be a REAL new character...not another hodge bodge of useless parts that can be had on other figures already released and just piled on with goggles that make no sense (yes the vipers of old had them and yes they did not make sence either so whats your point?). And I will whine and bitch all I want, if it bothers ya... too bad LOL. Why would you attack my sig pic to such an angry degree? Its a repaint? Seriously? What are you getting at? I like the crimson red better than the blue image it was prior to my changes..so what of it, how does that make it a kitbashed repaint like this figure? Highly out of context here and just an immature attack on someone else just to stir up trouble. Nothing new here...move along...

So your world is still not able to accept that people do not like stuff that you are so enamered with? That is blatantly obvious so no need to really go into that any further...

Highly out of context here and just an immature attack on someone else just to stir up trouble. Nothing new here...move along... welll i tend to like both of you so I'll just put it this way... since I have the dang thing in hand... YES it is nothing new to every obvious extent stated. That being said ... what if you'd never seen an Elite Viper before this... would that make it easier to accept or do you not like the figure at all? I look at it this way... I wasn't a huge fan of the Elite Viper but I bought one cuz it was 2 for 10 and I certainly wasn't gonna buy an SS or even worse a Heavy Duty... so I got Elite Viper and Eel. Neither are stellar... both are relatively awkward... but I did like a bit of their gear so I figured I might as well.. ANYWAYS... when I saw the Desert Viper on line I was like... hey (to me at least) that's a big step up from the Elite Viper. I'll never like the Elite Viper head but cover it up with a scarf... the goggles... maybe even repaint it... or even just switch the head... and I'm okay with it. Do i think he kinda looks like a bumble bee in that vest? like a Wuzzle.. (did you ever watch the Wuzzles?) Yes I do think he looks like a bee. but it honestly could have been worse. I DO like the sand effect... I really looks better in person. the weapons are kinda odd I'll admit... but all in all i prefer this to the Elite Viper. SO for me ...repaint yes. mildly interesting yes. but since I was over the Elite Viper from the start... I kinda see the Desert Viper as a step in the right direction which in my opinion has been lacking to a very large extent so far with this ROC line which seems trapped somewhere between Street Fighter and Star Wars. THAT being said... (man i say that a lot)... Desert Viper does NOT fit in with most ROC characters... he kinda clashes. (see my pics). NOT pictured is when I tried to put him next to Firefly and Helix... you'd think they were two different toy lines.

We still need Scarlett, Storm Shadow, Destro, Baroness, Gung-Ho and Roadblock all of which have sample or prototype figures allready made. There is supposed to be a serperate Resolute line in 2010 so hopefully we'll see these guys made and if we're luckey, maybe even some other characters like Res Zartan or a Res Alley Viper.

Thats the thing, I really really like the Elite Viper (not the single carded one the one from the Destro 3 pack since he has the cobra sigil on his shoulder and painted visor out of the box). I wish that was the ONLY viper we were getting over the turtle vipers and if the elite vipers were actually in the movie not just offscreen. I just was hoping this Desert one was going to be another original and new figure to move the line forward, not reapint/kitbash number 1000 with redone gear that everyone else has to start the stagnation on originality. So no, it would not help to have not known about the Elite Viper (or Neo-Eel for that matter) to answer your question.
