I really like this guy! Such a shame about the lack of mobility as all these Retaliation vehicle figs go, but just standing on his own he's one of the coolest Joe designs I've seen in awhile. I dont think much of the 'swamp' part, so he's now my default Hiss Driver.
The Fang Boat blows, and I only got it for the figure. Its a shame they didnt give him POC articulation. Beats the 4 different Retaliation Snake Eyes figs I've seen so far. |

The CC that comes with the Hiss is pretty cool too. It's a shame what they've done with vehicle drivers. A crying shame.

I actually sat there deciding between the Fang and HISS, and while I thought the Fang itself was crap, I am not crazy about the HISS either. I mean what can top the black V5? So I do want a black CC if I can ever find one, he seems wildly popular, so I dont need 2 CCs. I thought that fig would end up being a HISS driver instead, but just looked at the Swamp Viper like the most refreshing new design I've seen in awhile. BUT not as a Swamp Viper...

Not crazy over the design, looks too much space alien and dont like the seam going down the middle of the helmets visor. If there was no seam it would better for a Cobra flamethrower trooper or something.

I kind of like the Fang, it's a little on the garish side but not too bad. I just need to track down another cannon on eBay, because I'm not putting that godawful launcher thing on there.
Anybody done any cool headswaps with the Swamp Viper?

Yeah I know its not perfect... And I am not even a remote fan of GI Joe being anything sci-fi like, but there is just something about it that makes him a cool vehicle driver. Which he is. Well I actually dont know much about the Swamp Viper concept. Kinda came about during VvV right? If he was supposed to be slogging it through a swamp like an infantryman then the concept is ridic.
But I like him as a HISS driver! |

Putting the Swamp Viper's head on another body? Or putting a different head on the Swamp Viper?

Swamp Viper's head on another body. I'm one of those articulation crybabies.

Yeah this figure is awesome but the lack of articulation ruins it for me.

Well I am cool with the head - its different, and think it belongs on a driver/pilot figure... But which 25th, ROC, or POC one? Lets brainstorm.
