While it does have a 90's Joe vehicle vibe, I think they should have chosen a different shade of plastic for the canopy and the skipedoes. I did a quick photoshop mock and swapped the red canopy for a black one and it's a night and day difference.
I'm sure there wasn't any money in the 50th budget to cast a brand new canopy, but it's possible Shapeways might make one, maybe something similar to the armoured canopy for the HISS tank. Maybe even adding details like guns on the top or backpacks like the POC HISS tank had along the sides, just something to add variety to the canopy so it doesn't look like a Snow Cat canopy. |

I would have been OK with the colour scheme if they had made the canopy a translucent red, not the clouded red I see in the photos.
I would want it as it is...but unfortunately TRU Canada has decided to not carry this wave of GI Joe 50th, so it doesn't matter, I won't be getting one! |

Is this vehicle supposed to be an homage to the cobra adder? It has the same colors and kinda the same design

My son loves this thing, I can finally sort of look at it and not see Snowcat as captured materiel, but the only real issue I have left with it is it doesn't fit color wise with any other Cobra stuff from....ever, the closest would be the Retaliation HISS but its too bright and the ( granted very cool) pearlescent/ metallic thingy it has makes it stand out. I do really like that color, see them for 8 bucks on ebay and kinda cant afford NOT to fleet build them at that price. I still entertain thoughts of converting one into a wolfsnowhoundcatthough, I just cant find that thing for a good price, people on ebay are CRAZY proud of them.

Cobra Death Adder Personally, I like this vehicle. As was also mentioned the red looks awesome on white snowcat - definitely a cool rescue / medic conversion. Then with the blue one you've got an adder or a police type vehicle. That's all what I was thinking when I got the set, I like both vehicles at least enough to experiment with.

Ugh, the colors and canopy are hurting my eyes. Anybody have some of those old red/blue 3D glasses? That would make this sucker jump right off the page. LOL

I would never have bought this without it being part of the set.
