This one is pretty wacky, but being a Joe fan means embracing (or at least tolerating) the crazier aspects of the history of the brand, at least in my opinion. And I'm sure that there are fans of the neon years on the forum.
Here is the original figure for anyone who isn't familiar with it: H.E.A.T. VIPER (v2), YOJOE.COM | YoJoe.com: Dedicated to the G.I.Joe of the 80's, 90's and beyond! Playing around with some extra fodder, I came up with these. Anyone who knows what the vintage Battle Corps HEAT Viper looked like will know what to expect. To those who don't, well, let's just say that the figure was a product of it's time: the early '90s. Despite being part of my Spare Parts Brigade, I'm pretty happy with how close the result is to the original. A warning, you may need sunglasses. Last warning! Here you go, 1993 Battle Corps HEAT Viper in all it's neon glory! Enjoy! OB

Love it! I remember when the Tron figures first came out, I instantly thought to myself "I wish Hasbro had made these because the club would making Heat Viper v2 within a year with that head". Glad to see it finally come to reality, looks great.

Funny how you bring up the neon years of Joe I have been working on a Hazard Viper that I think would have fit in great with the neon years lol and I will say you have hit Heat Viper dead on love it . I liked this guy back in the 90's and its nice seeing a modern take on it .

I am surprised others haven't taken a shot at updating this version ,a thing that has been on my mind for a while now. |
