I just hope for the 30th line that Hasbro would release the Python Tele Viper prototype from 2 yrs ago with correct lower legs in original Tele Viper colors.

I'm hoping someday Hasbro can make a Tele Viper with electronics built into it so words can flash across his visor like in the cartoon. Keep dreaming.

I complain about things like this all the time, but sometimes in the long run I guess it's better to get something that looks like it's closely related to the original than nothing at all. Even with that said I still have complaints like the rest of you though.
I totally understand Hasbro's cost cutting reuse of parts. Hell they did it in the 80's and 90's too, but I wished for the 25th line as well as any other line from that point foward that they would look at the original ARAH figures first before making an updated version of any particular character. For instance during the ARAH line Airborne and Scrap Iron shared some parts. For the 25th line we got Scrap Iron first before Airborne, but I wish that they were released at the same time because Scrap Iron would have looked so much better using Airborne's arms and legs like the original ARAH figure did. I know Hasbro had a prototype version of a better Scrap Iron using the Airborne parts, but it was never released. The same can be said for your Tele-Viper argument. Many people have been saying this for some of the new figures that were just shown as well like Crazylegs for instance. You mean to tell me that there weren't a better pair of legs available to use for him which would match his original ARAH counterpart more closely than those Snow Serpent legs do? It's not like I'm asking them to create a newly molded set of legs here, just match up existing parts better that's all. While we are on this subject I also want to complain about Sci-Fi as well. I really appreciate Hasbro for making him, but why couldn't they given him the black padding on the inner parts of his upper legs like his original ARAH counterpart had? Hopefully they just paint this area black before the final version of the figure is released. I could go on and on about these figures like I'm sure everyone can, but I didn't want to turn this into a total marathon. All I wanna end this with is that I wish Hasbro would look at all of the figures and parts more closely before the put something together like Dr. Frankenstein. Maybe they can look at some of the customs done here using unaltered parts to create figures which more closely resemble their ARAH counterparts than some of the figures that they've been releasing instead.
