I'd be thrilled with a Retro Viper if done right. I missed out on the original CI version and didn't like the muted colors (and price) of the 3-pack version.
If done right, and by that I mean a truly retro version--rolled up sleeves, calvary boots, etc.--I'd be down for ten! The newly tooled flak vest has me optimistic, but the half-assed Retro Trooper leaves me somewhat wary . . . Definitely excited to see more.

If those pictures weren't already enough to confirm there's a retro Viper. I'll just go ahead and confirm it, there is a retro Viper coming in 2025.

Thanks for the responses about E Collectibles Rooted and Winter Classified. I'll be giving them a call. I could have sworn they did respond to me at one point asking for my correct address, but I can't find any email records.
- A retro Viper would be great and I hope those test shots are legit Hasbro stuff. I still really like the Cobra Island Viper. - Anyone notice the promo description for the panel stream on Thursday evening? "...will also feature additional new product news, including never-before-heard stories, digital character renders, in-hand figure prototypes, pre-order launches, and maybe even a special guest." Wonder if Slaughter will be there or if this could be another special guest...?

I have 4 of the Cobra Island Vipers and the 3 pack (of which, only the gray officer is displayed).
If this is indeed a Retro Viper with a better overlay and more rolled up sleeves and articulation, I'm probably going to have to buy 4. What if GASP, they have vacmetal faceplates!? I guess this is how Marvel Legends fans feel when they improve on characters and figures they already have. I'm ok with all of this if it keeps the line going.

A further thought occurs that this new vest might be for a Classified version of Mercer. He was an ex-Viper after all and he's getting a lot of exposure in the new comics.

Images courtesy of weibo.
Images of newly designed web gear for Cobra Vipers have popped up on weibo recently. Could this mean a v2 Cobra Viper is in the works, or possibly even a retro carded version? What would this mean for those of you who have already army built Cobra Vipers? I myself have 6 Crimson Vipers, and 3 Cobra Viper 3-packs. I honestly dread having to replace them if a version 2 was released along with it's subsequent variants. Some of y?all reach on ?leaks?. Exhibit A for above.

Watch the next v2 Snake-Eyes be...a Tiger Force version. The Super7 looks super silly, but it could be a fun Classified figure. Scarlett as well. Certainly, they can Tiger Force-ify any figure and aren't beholden to what appeared in RAH.
Target also carries some vehicles for other lines. Like the kids ECTO-1 right now. Or have carried large Batman/Flash vehicles. It all depends on how well they think Classified sells for them. |

In 25th/30th, they improved the Viper by using the vac metal. Would be nice Quote:
