Don't get me wrong, I still love the Classified Alley Viper, but he will forever be marred in my mind by the too tiny helmet that even the 25th line figured out in that awesome Defense of Cobra Island 7-pack.

(That pack is one of the best buys I ever made BTW)

I really hope the Classified team and Lenny don't goof it up and make the Night Vipers helmet as close a rehash of the Retaliation version as possible.

Truth

Hell the retaliation night viper wasn?t a bad figure his legs seemed really skinny and I liked the removable helmet he had, same as the 25th alley viper both good figures , I?m wondering how they will handle night vipers helmet .. he?s a top 5 cobra troop builder for me so I hope they get it right ..

I know we all love removable helmets but my pet peeve is
you also get stuff like the Retaliation Night Viper's Head
getting stuck in the Helmet easy.

Big Helmet Small head syndrome is almost inevitable given
the work required for the design requirements.

That was annoying

That or any figure who?s helmet had a chin strap ..

I would expect Night Viper's helmet to be handled very much like Alley Viper's: Single piece head and helmet and separate visor. And hopefully a separate scope to keep things from warping all to shit. A second alternate visor with a different night vision setup would be really cool, too. I love it when Lenny shows some creativity.

I don't think that's as much as an issue with 1/12 scale and 13 years later.

Well the 3rd wave for 2025 is now Snake Eyes, Monkeywrench, Battle Armor Cobra Commander, and Major Bludd which means Stalemate is full of shit, as usual! FFS just stop posting.

As far as we know, it hasn't happened before. Unless it has.
