Maybe this has been done elsewhere already (I don't read around on other boards much), but just for fun I've been trying to guess what will be used to build the Viper coming out in wave 7.
Do you think it'll use new parts? Perhaps some from figures haven't seen yet (other wave 7 or 8)? How much do you think will be repaints? Here's a guess I've made (and I'm not so good at this): head - all new torso - if not new, then either a trooper with comic pack Firefly's vest or Zartan upper and trooper (?) lower arms - tricky for me...Will they finally mold a set of arms with the sleeves rolled up to the bicep? If the sleeves aren't rolled up then perhaps a CG upper arm and either a new lower arm (for the characteristic forearm armor) or glooves like IG Destro legs - if not new, then perhaps CG legs or CG boots and Ripper upper legs I'm sure there are better guesses.

I know! If they come on one figure, I'd buy a bunch and start replacing the arms on the ones that need it. They also need to make a basic forearm - no gloves, watches, or arm bands - without the mid-forearm swivel.

I'd like to see something other than the original silver fishbowl helmet. and can anyone tell me why they had goggles strapped to them above a full face shield? a more streamlined version or maybe a see through one like Ace except tinted. although all the pics of Ace I've seen he looks wierd through the helmet.

I hoping for all new parts. Since the figure will be heavily army built and has the potential for many releases in differing decos I can see Hasbro investing in an entirely new sculpt.

I like the classic, but the helmet was FRIGGING HUGE.

I think it'll be all (or mostly) new, possibly sharing the vest and goggles with CP Firefly, and that the body will be reused with a different head and vest for Tele-Viper. if you gander at them, they are pretty darn similar aside from the vests, heads and the Vipers Gauntlets.
http://www.yojoe.com/action/86/viper.shtml http://www.yojoe.com/action/85/televiper.shtml I'd be ok with Tele-Viper having boots and gauntlets.

Yay!!! Sleeves rolled all the way up! And I see that the Viper uses new parts -- very nice!
