HISS Tank boards member Gyre-Viper has come through with the exceptionally detailed, and very highly anticipated Jungle Viper from wave 2 of GI Joe Pursuit of Cobra! The line is highly anticipated to begin with as evidenced by this ongoing crucial wishlist thread, and the numerous Pursuit of Cobra discussions here at HISS Tank.
Designed by John Warden of Hasbro, this figure shocked the fandom once unveiled last year at JoeCon 2009. It was clear evidence that the bar had been raised. If this is any indication of what we are to get in the near future and beyond, just imagine what the design team will be able to pull off for GI Joe Renegades and/or any other GI Joe line they lay their hands on.
The Jungle Viper(Jungle Assault) figure won’t be invading your collections en masse until later this fall, but until then, hit the title bar to get an extensive look at quite possibly the Cobra troop builder of the year!
Gyre-Viper says
From what I can remember John saying, he had a nightmare one night. Halfway woke up and was freaked out by the venetian blinds in his room. That was part of the inspiration, he said he then went on to researh ghile (sp) suits and that's where the general idea came from.
All I get from my nightmares is wet sheets and more therapy.
Jungle Viper was designed by John Warden (who also designed guys like Volcano Viper and Shadow Tracker).
The idea of Jungle Viper came to John Warden in
a dream apparently.
THIS IS THE RESULT.
VERY PIC HEAVY. SO HANG IN THERE. TRY NOT POST TIL YOU SEE THAT I'M DONE.
THE SECOND THESE HIT SHELVES I'M BUYING EVERY SINGLE ONE I SEE. THEY'RE SOOOO MUCH FUN. KEEP IN MIND THAT THESE ARE JUST TEST SHOTS. THE FINISHED VERSION MIGHT HAVE THE CUT OFF GLOVE LOOK. NOT SURE.
BUT SERIOUSLY... I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THE CARD ART FOR THESE.
