I just noticed this S.A.W Viper on ebay and was wondering if it's some kind of knock off. The packaging just looks a little odd to me.

The auction is out of Australia, so it looks like a UK/Foreign-based carded item. Those look different from the domestic (US) versions.

It looks odd because it's a European Joe. Here's a Heat Viper from Italy:

thanks for the prompt reply guys. The seller has a few more figures for sale but not all look like those european card backs.
for example. GI JOE 1990 Tracker Navy Seal w inflatable Raft! - eBay, GI Joe, Action Figures, Toys, Hobbies. (end time 12-Jun-09 13:04:12 AEST) do you still think they are european ones and are they worth picking up for such a cheap price? |

That Tracker looks like the US version. Sure, there are no bids right now, but watch out for the shipping on these....$14.50 isn't cheap.
I frequently buy stuff on EBay.uk and I'm still surprised sometimes how a low winning bid can turn out to not be such a great deal by the time you add international shipping.
