Yeah, I loved the FedEx shipments because I would get the shipment notification and it would say "Arriving tomorrow", coming from Romeoville, IL. DHL takes so long they might as well be shipping from the moon.

We had a Python Patrol Televiper Officer before so making use of the sleeveless mould to make that wouldn't be a bad idea (at some point).

There is also several decos of Snow Serpent Officer too.

The Crimson Guard Immortal (Who is rumoured to be not that far off) also had multiple decos too.

I don't mind the repaints so long as they don't share shelf space and look nice with something I already have - then they just have more appeal to me.

As I've said before there isn't an Alley Viper colour I dislike so if they want to do the lot I am not going to be complaining.

Booo!
Without links this post is too quick a read, needs more padding out with informative links for extra information.

I fear Target is done with any TF or PP releases for the foreseeable future.
If they do revisit the sub-teams, I would think a PP Tele-Viper Officer based on the TV body should be easy to do.
Don't worry about the silly extra heads with tampo HUD alarms on the visor though, excess to requirements

Instead of another Python Patrol Televiper, I'd prefer a HISS support team Televiper. In fact, Cobras in HISS support team (black with red trim) would be a nice theme for Target, due to the color red. Televiper, Frag Viper, retro Viper, retro Cobra Trooper, CLAW, Trouble Bubble, Ferret and SNAKE could look good in those colors.

I found 2 of each today, but only bought 1 each.

A HISS support Ferret with some kinda claw (not the glider claw), or heavy duty torch/welder on an arm for helping with repairs or loading missiles or something like that, and a small fuel tank trailer or trailer with missiles or a single Heat seek missile, to reload the HISS would awesome. Or missiles to reload the Stinger.

These are my two favorite Alley Vipers. They could be released as environment themed.

Well the US ports are emptying out of China freight.
The Ships are quickly being diverted elsewhere.
Pretty scary stuff for us supply wise.


Maybe in the short term
our toy pre-orders could be delayed?


I expect the toy containers are on the same ships
being diverted to the EU after all.

Totally.
It's been a long time since any HISS releases, I totally forgot about them.
I display my Fire Team alongside the HMS with Teshno-Viper and all the factional colours look quite cool together.
Riffing off RAR's suggestions on Officers, your suggestion of fleshing out the HISS roster with repaints of previous releases should be a no brainer for a large retailer looking to support the line with a sub-team.
Would be a great idea and just need to add Valkyrie HISS troopers to that list, as Classified needs more female figures.

I agree with this 100%.
