Released in November 2023 as part of Wave 2 in Wal-Mart's exclusive Night Force assortment, the Crimson Alley Viper is a new take on the very popular COBRA URBAN ASSAULT TROOPER and looking very similar to the red and black 2010 Pursuit of Cobra Alley Viper. Though this is a straight repaint of the regular Alley Viper, it's a very interesting deco that really fits in with the rest of the Cobra ranks and is a great alternative for those who may not be too keen on the original's bright orange and blue deco. He also has a few unique paint apps including a new bio-hazardous waste symbol on his helmet and some new industrial hazard stripes on his arms, leg and riot shield.
The Crimson Alley Viper comes with the following gear and accessories: an assault rifle with a removable magazine clip, a machine gun, a grappling hook gun with removable grappling hook, a pistol, (2) knives, a removable helmet and visor, a backpack and a tactical riot shield. 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 gave him a 9. I ended up liking him way more than I thought I would and I almost never like repaints as much as the original deco.

Far superior to the original deco. I wish I could trade in my orange and blue vipers for the red redecos.

I prefer this to the orange and blue, although I've grown to like that color scheme. These also don't seem to suffer from loose ankles like many of the originals. However, rubbery weapons and rubbery elbows hold this back from getting a higher rating than I gave the first version.

I don't like one color version of these over the other, I do like how it copys Retalition's ME figure (v14) color scheme. They're solid figures with fun weapons to play with, so I went 8.

Why does he have a hazardous waste symbol?

Because he's hazardous below the waist?

If you'll note from Hasbro's promo shots, these Vipers work underground fighting the Mole Rats...hence the hazardous waste emblems on the visor or in the shield.

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. Last edited by sisco; 11-29-2023 at 11:01 PM.. |

Seems I'm mistaken, the Classified figure is based on v13 not v14
