A pretty neat-looking toy with a great accessory (the rocket launcher) but hampered by an utterly useless rifle. You can see more pics and read the Review here: That Figures: REVIEW: GI Joe Desert Battle Cobra Viper

Iok, dude, I just opened up my POC Viper last night and you hit the nail on the head! For as nice as this figure is, he can't hold his damn rifle! What the heck?
I mean, I like his sculpt and in general he looks really sharp, but not being able to his his gun right is a big sticking point for me. Say what you will about thje 25th Viper but my guy is still holding his gun. So I either going to pose this guy in the "waving the rest of the team forward" pose or firing the missile launcher. I will definitely NOT be buying more of this figure.

Yeah, it's incredibly disappointing to see how poorly the hand and rifle fit together and it really spoils the figure's overall quality. Like you say, there are only so many points and waves you can do!

hmmm... I didn't have this problem with mine. You could always rubber band the rifle into his hand

Nice review, tho i don't understand how people has so many troubles with modern hands.
I was able to pose the 25th vipers with twisted hands with no problems, i can't see how the new viper, with a trigger index finger and extra articulation (aside the swivel) on the wrist can pose a problem, man.

I just took an X-acto knife and sliced his trigger finger away from the rest of his fingers, and now he holds the gun fine.

I gave the Alley Viper's gun to the new Viper and it looks great! I gave the small gun from the Shock Trooper to the Alley Viper, and they all look good.

At this point I am going just pose around it, but I have to say this was a disappointment to me out of the bubble.
