I'm enjoying this guy a lot actually, I don't know if its the color, the idea that these guys essentially created the zombies we will son troop-build, or just the fact that the mask is a John Warden designed piece of art, but I'm getting the desire to really troop build on this one.
I like the new shoulders, but I do with he has other lower arms/hands. I've already made peace with the "can't hold one weapon in two hands" issue, but I still wish the hands held better. I like how the hoses and canisters aren't glued down yet, mine is set up differently than the Majors, and I plan on using that for future hazard vipers.

I think he's looking awesome! Thanks for the extra shots of him without the suit. I cant wait until we can see a few of them with some Zombie vipers! Anyone have the balls to try and paint one like the old Toxo-viper?

Each time I've caught them in the store I've passed on them...8 so far. After this review, and definitely when the zombies come out, I think I'm going to be kicking myself I like that they replace those ROC Neo-Viper arms...hated those. I didn't notice the change right off the bat.

Im glad you pointed out the differences, which i initially took in as a mere repaint.
The orange is really strong, which i would prefer over yellow. Love the accessories that came with HV. Looking at it i need a small squad for biohazard operations.. Wonderful review bro |

I really dig this guy. He has a ton of accessories, he's unique, and will make a great troop builder. Imagine a front line of HZ's with zombies falling in behind! He's going to be that character you wish you hadn't passed on in about a year!

Opened my first and I really like him. Mask is more difficult to get on than the Volcano Viper. If you're a kid and want the mask snug, you'll be asking your parent for help and awful lot.
The left hand not holding anything was an issue on mine as well. I think part of it stems from it being stretched out from holding the pistol in package. I can get him to hold the "squirt gun" in that hand but it's still loose. I can see the case cracking over time, probably a short time if it's played with as it should. I'll wait until mine breaks, then i'll trim it and try to glue some fabric or some other flexible material. Nice addition though and it really adds to the figure. And what the hell is that extra gun that included. It came with ROC Heavy Duty, TRU exclusive Artic Doc, and now the Hazard Viper. Seems like it's an all purpose weapon that can fit the character (pistol, injection device, ???). |

I know have a full team: 3 Hazard Vipers, 3 Volcano Vipers.
Now I need to find some accessories at Big Lots. They're Cobra's Anti-Hazmat team.

Looking at them at the store most hazard vipers have really horrible paint apps on the pouches on their vests. So if you find several check them all out and pick the best, some are really bad, paint splotches all over a pouch.
