That would be funny if the gold variant was just a batch that fell into a vat of some kind of liquid.

Didn't the 09 joecon crimson set have the red viper with gold chrome? This is the same year the HOH came out. Maybe production messed up and started to paint the HOH gold also or they mixed some of the batch up while changing over.

hate to rain on overyones parade. the case is clearly that the silver has tarnished into an off gold. i have about 10 gold face vipers. when opening the figures, you can see the chrome discoloring. its not truely gold.

Here are my two HoH Vipers .... is the one on the left the gold faced one and the one on the right normal silver? The one on the left looks more shiny and sparkly than the one on the right (and the other one I opened) ...

Was driving to the grandparents to switch cards and decided to stop at a nearby TJMAXX. I wasn't expecting to find anything since Christmas was so close but I found gold Viper. They must have just placed it out there since the entire collection was there. Got outbid on ebay a few days ago. Thank god, saved me $20 bucks.

Hey, junior detectives, it's gold. Deal with it. This guy doesn't have to take it out of the package and mail it to you so you can hold it in your hand just so you feel better.

So I found two of these while on vacation in Maryland, and i realize that they're not real variants (thanks to the junior detective squad ).
I'm still pumped about them, though. I like the idea of having a gold viper leader. Of the two, one is more varnished than the other. My question is, is there any way I can make my slightly gold viper more gold? If I leave it in the sun, will it make the figure more golden? That would be awesome. |
