The bright yellow on the vehicles always bothered me a bit. I think I might paint the yellow on my Python Stun to a muted gold, to match the color on the Toys-R-Us exclusive 6-pack figures.

@KingStalin, I was seriously mulling picking up those Con 25th Python Troopers off of eBay when I ended up getting my vintage one for less than the cost of the new one, heh. It's a little disappointing that Hasbro released some of the Patrol on regular cards and not all of them. I understand not wanting to fill up waves with nothing but repaints, but to release the Officer and Siegie on cards but not the Viper, Tele-Viper, or Trooper is strange to me.

Thanks for the compliments! I think the reason they chose the Stun over the Hiss are two fold. Reason one is that the Hiss was already available from Hasbro direct, and had been since 84. Reason two is that it has treads and would be far too noisy in reality to be part of a stealth team.
Still it would have been nice to have at least one vehicle with a tow hitch for the ASP! Unless they are rigging them to STUNs and hoping that they just "hold on," or air-dropping them into position! You know another vehicle which would be a good choice for Pythonization? The Night Landing! It would make it EVEN SNEAKIER!

I have done this, it looks pretty good. A few years back I saw 2 Python STUNs on ebay where someone had painted all the yellow black. So I was able to get them cheap, strip off the black and paint the gold on.

Thanks Python Viper, now I won't feel bad about painting a vintage vehicle, knowing that it's going to look okay in the end.

And I totally know what you mean about feeling dirty about buy them. I wonder if the plastic parts are swiped from a factory floor and they are put together elsewhere because of the different screws being used.

Kush, the one I got was clean as a whistle. Looked fresh off the card, to use a term.
