So we all know about the upcoming listing for "Cobra Wraith" in the Walmart computers.
I think most of us, including myself was under the assumption that this was going to be the character Wraith from the DDP series. However, I just finished my Python Patrol Viper and was informed that in the comics, they were known as Wraiths - We know that Hasbro is already doing a straight repaint of the officer for Python patrol, might this new listing be a repaint of the Viper as a Python Patrol Wraith?? I personally would love to see the DDP character as I know in time we will see a TRU 5 or 6 pack with all the Python Patrol figures. Thoughts??

I dunno...they're still referring to themselves as "Vipers." I don't know that Hasbro would market something as "Wraith" based on one panel of one comic. That'd be kind of a stretch.
I think it would be a bad move to make the PP Viper and call it "Wraith." I think that could be construed as a major bait and switch.

yeah, we had this discussion about a month ago. they don't call themselves Wraith, they call their suits Wraith suits, so it is a real stretch to attempt to try and project that into the name of the characters.

Wasn't it confirmed that this was the Wraith character from the new comics? As an old-school Joe fan, I have no idea who he is, but if he looks cool, I'm in.

I'm surprised we haven't seen a thread proposing it might be Charlie Sheen's character from the movie The Wraith in another 80's crossover. |

That car Charlie had would be a cool addition to the 25th line. I guess you just started your own GI Joe rumour.

Hasn't this topic come up like 5 times in the past few weeks?
It's definitely the Devils' Due character, I think we've seen confirmation somewhere on that. If Hasbro was making Python Patrol Vipers, they would call them "Vipers", they would not purposefully give them an ambiguous name that could refer to another well known character in the same universe.

Wow -
First let me say I am a long member and well known TANK member that has never been one of those rumor fanning members of the TANK. Second, I apologize for bringing something up that was brought up before. I cant take all day to read EVERY thread. I just thought this was interesting, its amazing and at the same time sad how infantile and easily upset some fans can be. I guess I just stick to my sightings thread and customizing thread...
