So, I was one of the people who couldn't wait and ordered this from China. From seller sicdunbine, with whom I've ordered before and would gladly recommend. This figure is among the most detailed and surprising figures I've bought in a long time.
First, its just a heavily armored dude, with great accessories, sculpting and several new mold pieces. Moreso, when you look under the armored vest, this figure is an in-joke gift from the Hasbro gods. He is covered in tattoos, some usual like spiders, Cobra logos, skull n crossbones, etc.. BUT its the couple unusual ones that make this figure killer: On his stomach is tattooed "Cobra LA" in 'biker style/gangish' font. On his upper back/shoulders in the same text style is "Springfield" above a large eagle, west coast choppers looking centerpiece. Also of interest, and maybe noticeable in the pics is the fact that he has a small hole on each side of his head, like he is supposed to have a mask, a la Alley Viper. Maybe for a forthcoming figure? Anyway, enjoy the pics, I tried my best to capture the detail with my old digital camera. LMK what you think of the neat little inside jokes they threw out for us old schoolers.

The tats are a gimmie to old schoolers. As for the head holes, Night Adder's head is an ice viper's head, painted and without the visor.
I have a 5-pack on order from WS_Toys. Great price for $6 a figure ($29.99 and free shipping) as I'm in it for the dogs and weapons. Glad to hear they come without leashes ON them already, I have plans for those... Last edited by M. Aster Karver; 09-15-2009 at 02:22 AM.. |

Awesome call on the head! Kinda makes me sad, though, lol, I was really hoping for an updated POC Alley Viper.

As soon as I get this figure the vest comes off, and he will never wear it again. I am so hoping for the black tat version. Come on preorder do me right!

He would be better if they had given him a more unique head instead of the repainted Ice-viper head and his body is not new, just reused parts of the unreleased Resolute Roadblock. Bastard figure took Roadblock away from us :( as some make believe cobra dog handler wannabe so called "new" figure pfft.
Nice pics though though!

Bare arms, a vest, and a s&m type mask. But these are going to be my thug sand vipers. 4 is more than enough. |

hes a great figure, but as hes a large figure i find his accessories are not large enough to do him justice, in short [no pun intended] they look to small for him. so i took some of the accessories from my neca 6-inch hitman figure and hey presto there more in scale with the figure and look way better.
