Released as part of Wave 13 in October 2023, the Crimson Viper is another Cobra figure to get the "Crimson" deco treatment. A straight repaint of the original Cobra Viper figure (#22), the Crimson Viper does a nice job of giving the Cobra Infantry some variation to go along with the standard Vipers and Viper Officers in fans' collections.
The Crimson Viper comes with the following gear and accessories: a backpack, a rifle, a pair of removable goggles, a pistol and a removable neckerchief/bandana. Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

I'll give him an 8. I prefer the original's color deco, but I do appreciate this crimson version for what it is.
I saw another 'Tanker (think it was Mr. Hebime, but now I'm not certain) who used this guy's vest on the Seigie and it looked really sweet.

I went 9.
Colours aside, this is the best Viper released so far. No miscoloured arms like the 3pack version and the goggles fit way better than the CI version. Personally, I really like the Crimson Strike Team. I feel like the team is now complete, I don’t need every trooper to be Crimson but the ones we have make for a great faction. |

When I first saw this repaint I was not that impressed. Having them in hand I really like it. I was only going to get 2, but ended up with 6. I gave them a 9.

When it comes to the CST, would you be up for a Crimson Officer or Trooper? Or maybe a Crimson Eel? A CST Cobra Commander would be kind of cool too maybe?

meh. Viper alone needs some work. Repainting it crimson doesn't improve anything for me.

For the other trooper suggestions, I think the HISS Fire Team kind o accomplishes that already and they feel pretty in line with the Crimson lley Viper. Personally I'm using Crimson Alley Vipers as ground level infantry to match up with the HISS Tank because they match so well. As for a Crimson Cobra Commander, I think the Snake Supreme Cobra Commander works well with the group. I'd rather a red repaint of Cobra COmmander to be something like Red Laser instead of an alternative outfit.

It's the most versatile viper and python patrol figure. A great paint job that doesn't look too gaudy. You can easily use it as an urban trooper or put them in with a squad of BATs

Crimson Viper narrowly beats out the Python Patrol Crimson Guard for Cobra trooper builder of the year for me, which is something I wouldn't have expected to say earlier in the year.

EEL V7 is a pretty good blueprint:

Especially considering we also had the Arctic BAT, Crimson BAT, Range-Viper, Eel and Snow Serpent in 2023. He is a really sharp looking figure, but I'm just really partial and overly nostalgic for the original navy blue with red Viper.
