Im up for any range viper they make and even the green one i remember that one well i always like the look of them in the og line and after but the sculpts didnt do them justice like these new ones do , im not a huge fan of the hissfireteam version only because i wish the colors on his face were flipflopped , IMO those colors would work better on that shade/color combo . Otherwise hes a home-run to me half of what i like about the classified range viper is the load out an LMG a realistic & size-able grenade launcher a glock w/extendo mag , a tomahawk and a sai/dagger , he has one of the best load outs second IMO only to the MM slaughter love his gear as well ,or maybe bigben i love his weapons except that grip on the double barrel annoying . They can make a tan RV maybe an all black version w/grey accents
A crimson version or even an arctic version all white with yellow eyes and grey/gold accents , i would pick up @ least 8 of each color , as much as i try to like the whole fireteam its only the RV that grabs me , the other 2 are fine even better if you just swiap their helmets . I want 8 of the fireteam RV but i dont need 12 of those laying around and they dont sell like the RV does & People want as much for those if not more than they do the reg RV . So its a conundrum?

first world struggle here .

Nothing beats a Night Viper. Except G.I. Joe.

280-CUSTOMS, I'm guessing you like Range Vipers. I have a decent number of Cobra Troopers, Vipers, and BATS (so I have my own issues with troop building), but I can't imagine owning so many specialty troops.

hell, I haven't seen them stocking any Marvel Legends or Star Wars exclusives in actual stores either.

Speaking of Walmart, I know this is a joe site but they are clearencing the playmobile enterprise on their site. Really good deal. Bought one for when my kid is older. Was like 66% off a 700 dollar toy

Amazon has had the Playmobil Enterprise marked down to around $250 several times (original price was $500). I never pulled the trigger, as I have the Mega Bloks/Construx build and on a cabinet, so I'm not sure I want another gigantic Enterprise. I did buy the Playmobil Klingon Bird of Prey for around $200 off Amazon a while back, but I still haven't opened it.

It sucks, and it can be hard to keep everything straight, especially when you keep no lists or spreadsheets like I dont, but situations like the Range Viper are often remedied by preorder roulette. I very rarely put all my eggs in one basket when it comes to classified figures. I originally wanted 4, I only have 2 because I split that up between pulse and walmart preorders. Wally world screwed up my order as well but at least I still got my 2 from pulse. If possible, I order everything from pulse in addition to other retailers. I cancel what I dont need when items get closer to shipping.

Am I possibly adding to the problem of figures heading to clearance because I am likely making it seem like I want 3 times the amount of figures I actually want by ordering the same thing from 3 different places and then canceling from 2 of them? Perhaps. Am I largely getting what I want though? Definitely.

Did I miss something? Airtight has been announced?

They are both solid toys. Tough to spend 500 but 250 is great. These are great toys for kids. So is gi joe of course but a different vibe.

Seems like there was an unpainted head pic that leaked back in '22 or '23 that some speculated was an unmasked Airtight. And, I'm not 100% sure it was unmasked.

I wouldn't care if it was only a slight recolor.
