post your likes and dislikes about the Viper figure here.
Overall, I think this is a really great update to the figure which also sticks to a strong resemblence to the 86 version it is based on. He comes with his traditional white gun/grenade launcher and backpack. He also comes with removable goggles. The paint apps are really nice and I like how the grenades on the vest and backpack really stand out. The wrists seem bent at an odd angle, but I think this is so he can hold his rifle better than previous figures..which he does magnificently. My favorite thing about the Viper is that his large vest is removable. Underneath is a nice blue uniform mold (from Duke I think) and this will make an excellent way to make Cobra vehicle mechanics like we see in the cartoons!!! My one gripe is the ankles, they don't have much (if any) up and down movement so running poses are more difficult to accomplish than with other 25th figs. An infantry figure should be able to pose in a running position IMO. |

Love the figure, hate how the goggles are not secure at all.

just a question i must be a newbie, because i dont understand all the acronyms what does the IMO mean at the end of your paragraph? Ive seen numerous people use it, but i can't tell what it stands for... and sorry we haven't seen any of wave 7 yet in the midwest. but the viper figure looks awesome, ofcourse
i can't tell for sure till i get one out of the package... Thanks! |

I agree with the bad ankle's and how the goggles dont hold very well, other than that I love these figures. Definatley one of my fav's. The new backpacks are nice and the guns have a bit more detail. They hold weapons very well. here some pics for yall..
