Released in December 2023 as part of Target's exclusive Tiger Force & Python Patrol Wave 5 assortment, Python Patrol Copperhead is a straight repaint of the regular Copperhead figure from earlier this year (#72) with a couple of minor paint app differences for his weapons and gear this time: his large gun is now gold instead of silver; his machete has mud from the bog all over it, which is a very nice touch; and the bullets on his backpack holster are gold instead of silver.
Python Patrol Cobra Copperhead comes with the following gear and accessories: a large gun, a removable backpack holster, a pistol and a machete. Note that his arm straps are also removable. 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!!!

-1 for the red tube across his face that doesn't look good to begin with much less highlighted red.
-2 for not using the python pattern on his legs. -1 for not at least have an M203 like vintage version. I won't mark against not making his waist bright yellow. They did improve something. |

I was never a big fan of Python Patrol, but I had Copperhead when I was a kid. I bought this figure a couple of days ago and really like it. I really wish he would have come with a rifle and back pack like the original 3 3/4” figure did. Knocked off a point for that. I would say he is a solid 8.5, or a 9.

The original Classified Copperhead is a 10 to me, but this just wasn't as an impressive of an adaption. The one piece bathing suit and the red line on his face kinda ruin this for me. I wish the accessories were more faithful to the ARAH original too.

There's just something about this one that works. I wouldn't use him as Copperhead, but for a soldier using similarly designed gear, maybe.

I gave him a 7. Gave the OG Copperhead an 8, and he would have gotten a 9 except for some QC issues. First, I docked a point for the peg straps on the two gun holsters. Same issue with this figure as the OG... they don't stay in very well.
Second, I docked a point for the colour scheme. OG just looks so much better. Lastly, I docked a point for those two stupid overlays on the upper arms. Why the hell weren't those sculpted on? They fall down ALL the damn time, especially the left one. There's literally no reason to have those as separate overlays. They should have either sculpted them or just gotten rid of them, entirely. Strangely, I don't have the same issue with the OG Copperhead.
