Hi.
Sorry if this has already been done. Didn't see one yet. First review of anything, so be gentle. So today I received my Alley Vipers, they are complete except for their stands. When I heard these were coming out, I was very excited, the Alley Viper being on of my favorites. Upon receiving mine, i have to say that my excitement was justified. First, the good: They come with a LOT of gear: Two seperate weapons, a nightstick, backpack, shield, and two knives. The helmet is removeable, and looks great up or down. The vest is also removeable as well. The Bad: The small knife shealth that attaches to the vest does not stay on at all. A drop of glue fixes this, so not really a huge issue. Could just be mine, but they both had this issue. I really like that they are the classic orange and blue, although I still think the colors should be different, perhaps black and blue. I'm sure we'll get a repaint of the that at some point, lol. All in all, this is an excellent figure, and I wish I'd picked up more than two. The gear is really cool, and adds a lot to this awesome figure. I think this will be a big hit when it is finally released.

Good to finally see a review. I got my 3 in the mail today and am amazed at the detail and gear. The knife/sheath seems to be intended to be glued on the final product - the cost of getting it early maybe. The other 'bad' is it appears the crossbow should hook onto the backpack but does not. Overall though this figure does not disappoint and I consider it one of the best in the line. Good to see Hasbro still putting effort into the classics.

Y'know, it's almost a shame to put the flak vest on him, the detail underneath is just as good.
