i'm thinking no...but i'm hoping yes

But my guess is that Turtle viper will be replaced by new viper. Its a GI Joe tradition.

1) The new film might have a redesign on the Viper costume...don't get to happy at that idea. A redesign could mean anything from a completely new concept (which could be easily just as disappointing) or it could be a more classic look.
2)The new film's Vipers may have been tweaked slightly, so that while its not EXACTLY the same, but modified enough that it warrented new ones made...remember each Batman film has had a differant suit (which may also be a toy marketing thing).
3)Studios some times let this stuff go on purpose to generate some buzz for a film (or in this case maybe the upcoming cartoon)...remember they make a few of most costumes, so the dozen or so we saw onscreen there may have been a dozen or so more.
4)Cash and I think this is the least likely thought...RoC made money but it didn't do blockbuster money.
Either way for the fan that can afford it, nice haul.

On the figure, I didn't like how the forearm pads were connected to the wrists, on the movie costume they are entirely separate. Not to mention, the mask sculpt is much better than the toys', same with the Viper Commando.
