Hasbro has told us that everything we seen at Joecon this year would be in the 30 anniversary except Data Viper (as Hasbro put it "didn't make the cut"). So that doesn't mean that Data Viper is "canceled" but it certainly looks like we may not see him. I started a thread called "would you buy a Data Viper?" and I was blown away by the fact that about 88% of Tankers would buy at least one. So I wondered, if it was up to the collectors on the Tank, would they have rather seen the Zombie Viper canceled instead? These two figures seemed to cause the most buzz because they were new figures and both were very strange but yet very appealing. But these two seemed to be the figured that most people were on the fence about.
So anyways, if Hasbro came to you and said "you have the power to either have the Zombie Viper made or the Data Viper made. You have to choose one ti get on the pegs, but making both is too big a risk." Who would you pick? Basically, which would you rather see in production, Zombie Viper or Data Viper?

Given the choice between the 2, cancel Data Viper. I have not been as excited about any Joe release in years (like 20!) since I am about the up coming Zombie Viper.
I'm just hoping he's in one of those waves that stores actually stock (more than one case of). Like POC wave 2.

Zombie Viper is a must.
I do want the Data Viper as well though. But on the other hand I will buy 10 zombie vipers at minimum, and I was going to buy 3 data vipers. To bad it's cancelled. Hopefully some samples make it out of china |

Zombie Viper. I army build in groups of 4 so I'm looking to grab them up. Data Viper looks interesting but it didn't blow me away like the Zombie Viper did. Perhaps it was the DV helmet, sort of odd looking.

I probably wouldn't have gotten either, but I suppose if they were cheap I might get some zombies. Data-Vipers would have had to have been cheap-as-free.
I would think that the Zombie Viper would be way more popular in general, but we'll see if honest voting happens. |

Zombies are the best. This poll should not be close.

Between the two I would personally like the DV but zombies are just too damn cool. You can have 20+ of them and not feel bad at all. DV was a maybe 4-6. Zombies need their own case.

Neither deserve to get cut. With Joes being so minuscule in retail there's no real reason to have less new unique characters placed on shelves. Hasbro claims they don't know beforehand what items will not sale and yet foolishly released a Croc Master and Blowtorch repaint under the PoC toy line. Anybody looking at those two would easily pass it up after most collectors leave them behind on pegs and it looks like a figure that nobody cares about. I think this figure would have been a decent seller retail based on the fact of the accessories it came with. Who knows what Hasbro was thinking about when they made this decision but if came down to cutting one new figure out of the upcoming assortments it should have been Scarlett since female figures have been proven not to sale that great.
The Zombie Viper looks awesome but a very strange decision for Hasbro to make. I feel if there isn't going to be anything to follow up a story supporting why they exist then of two that is being discussed right now, the Zombie Viper should be cut from having a release.
