So is the Alley Viper vest not removable? I'm just thinking out loud here. Why would they cast it together with the torso?

The only metric I can think of is that the exclusives sell out fast, so theoretically they drive traffic to the store.
But I can't imagine that it has been worth it for Target given the ire, employee time, and bad publicity on social media. Even if they did 25,000 of every CI figure (and I doubt the number is that high), that's a pittance in sales to Target. If this was a success for Target retail, they might not have the 'geek out' area for online ordering of exclusives, heh. I'm sure it's good for Target in terms of revenue (collectibles all over, not strictly Joe), but poor for staff morale and floor efficiency metrics (can't get those shelves stocked if you're climbing in the truck looking for that Viper listed on PopFindr).

I think the whole thing is an overlay like we are used to. You can kinda tell it's hollow in the image with the backpack hole. Looks like it's going to be really snug with a drop down pecker guard (which is gonna be weird for posing). The collar is throwing me off. Maybe that area replaces the rubbery chest overlay with the Cobra sigil usually present on the Trooper builds? Hopefully it's made out of some very thin material.

Huh. Looks like he really needs something to help the transition from the overlay to his limbs, or that it needs thinning out. I realize the trooper may not be the proper base body, but that's an awkward looking fit. I guess this means the ab-crunch feature is covered too, so not much "crouching behind the shield" posing either? Still going to want one anyways.

And the reveals from this weekend and today show that the prototypes were indeed real as I said all along. Please go to "Viper Island" on youtube and make a comment calling Liam out on making his debunking and fake/real videos private erasing evidence of him being a Dbag in the community.

I was clicking around looking for that one, the Mindbender scoop, and the leaked list commentary.
I remember him coming off out of character with the AV/BAT stuff and chalked it up to him still being salty about Mindbender. I couldn't find either of those videos, so I just have my faulty memory to go off of. If it's because he hid them, he lost way more points than he did just being inaccurate. I mean, I'll admit it. I was wrong about this and the leaked list. I wasn't ready to buy into anything because it's the internet... and the Chinese factory dumpster thing I heard just made the story worse. Now I just need the Full Force Podcast guys to be douchebags on something and my faith in cybermanity will be devastated. Those guys are like the Tom Hanks of my news source. |

I keep posting the comment below on Dbag Liam's new Viper Island AV and BAT videos but he keeps deleting it. It must be nice to erase evidence of shitty behavior like it never happened. The sad thing is people sub his channel which is full of news that's already been covered. He's just an aggregator of other news sources with the delivery of a basement virgin. As an incel, he probably had to adopt that kid. "Let's talk about how you made some of your videos private from earlier this year in which you acted like a jerk and insulted me? In the first, you featured my photos of the BAT and Alley Viper prototypes, uncredited I might add, which I had commented on and messaged you about with no reply. You later followed up with a "real or fake" video in which you called the prototype parts fake, calling me out as "looking for attention". I commented on that one that you would be eating your words later. I'll take that apology now as all of the photos shown Saturday and today are exact matches for the prototype images I posted." Unfortunately for him, the internet remembers the thumbnails. I can't recover videos that have been made private though.

I wouldn't expect much from people that fashion themselves as social media celebrities.

I wish someone could create a toy-centric YouTube channel that didn't have to feel like some kind of ESPN talking heads show. People should be able to admit when they are wrong instead of hiding the fact that they are full of crap.
