I absolutely love this figure. I really like the original Alley-Viper, even though colors are a little strange. However, the colors on the Crimson Alley-Viper are incredible. I loved the 3 3/4” Pursuit of Cobra Alley-Viper, and the 6” version delivers. I have 4 of them, since I wanted a nice small squad to go zombie hunting. I gave them a 10.

I voted 9 out of 10. The figure is an updated version of my favorite Alley Viper, the Pusruit o Cobra version from 2010 https://www.yojoe.com/action/10/alleyviper13.shtml. Only way to improve to me would be if it had he darker red from the POC version of the figure and the alternate helmets from that version.
The red and black deco feels superior in every way to the neon orange and blue. This looks like something a security force would wear in a dark alley way of a city to blend in with the brick walls and shadows, or in a sewer or subway tunnel so your squad can easily spot each other. Muting the red to a brick red would be a major improvement on practicality but I understand the use of the brighter colors for a toy. |

Because story wise, they're there to fight the infected Mole Rats.
Yeah, I wish he just had the normal symbol on his helmet, isn't any kind of Joe a biohazard to Cobra? 9. A great repaint that improves on the original (though the original has it's charm). Being able to get these for ~$12 really made them appealing and with 16 of them at that price they've become an important part of my Cobra army and the main infantry of my HISS tank units.

Bumping this guy up for more votes, what did you think of the Crimson Alley Viper? Did you pick one up to join the growing army of Crimson Cobra figures? Do you like this Alley Viper's red and black deco more or less than the original's orange and blue deco?

Dang, that is quite the delay! But I do remember you guys got TF Outback like 4 or 5 months before us and I think the retro CG and retro Snake Eyes both were in Europe like 6 months earlier than the States too. It's really funny how all over the place distribution times can be with some figures.

8/10
Really good figure. I definitely prefer these colors to the orange and blue and I appreciate the custom fodder these provide. That being said, I still hate how restrictive the vest is. I love a good ab crunch, and I can't stand how some of the early figures get no movement in this area at all. |

I'm such a sucker for Crimson themed stuff that it even got me to love an alley viper.
