Just curious where the Sub Viper figure idea comes from and if it's a throwback character to something from the vintage 3.75" Joes.
Thanks. |

Ah, so a new figure concept that's making use of an existing mold, but not actually an '82-94 character itself?
Thanks. |

Original Sub-Viper was repaint of SLUDGE-VIPER from Eco Warriors, and released in 2001 with the Wave Crusher (SHARC repaint). Early mock-ups or product lists called him Deep Sea Viper, IIRC.
(Why Hasbro did all that, instead of repainting the Sea Ray with Sea Slug, is a mystery that no one cares about but me.) Why the club thought it was worth updating, of all things, probably has to due with their cluelessness...I mean, availability of molds and stuff. |

Yeah. I never really liked the Sharc cause of how pilot lay down in it.

If I ever get another really cheap Star Wars Ski Speeder, I want to do this to my Wave Crusher as well.
