So just got this at Wal-Mart and had been thinking this thought, but now it's reinforced...
Doesn't the A-VO look more like a Joe then a Cobra? It's the unmasked unique head that does it. Cobras normally have full masks or face masks. This guy doesn't. Doesn't scream "nameless officer" and "troop builder" does it? Looks like would make a good Joe submarine officer or something.

I kinda thought that, I guess he's unique maybe?
Did anyone else notice there's never been a Aqua Viper also?

Regardless, I love the Mantis vehicle. I only have one, but would love to find another at retail ...

Yeah, the other weird thing. There's no Aqua-Vipers, so who is this guy the officer of?
Would have made more sense to give him a unique name at least.

I don't know about looking like a Joe, but he does look like a unique guy. I love his colors though! One of the best Vehicle drivers we've gotten in awhile.
Does he look like anyone we haven't gotten a 25th version of yet? I thought he looks a little like an unmasked BBQ |

The viper's head.... look at Indiana Jones. there is the head sculpt. But yes.. he is a unique figure. They did fairly well on it.

I'd use a spare RESOLUTE Trooper head or one MARS Trooper heads.

i think this figure is really great. i was gonna pick up 2 more tonight, but i'm trying to save my money for when i find them walmart exclusives, so i passed. but i do want more. i like the mantis, but much rather have the figures more than the sub.
and the head to me looks like harrison ford/ indiana jones with a little bit of scuplting added in the hair or something. |

It's a great head, that's why I think it's "wasted" as a nameless Cobra.
