For the second poll, I had to go with the Alley Viper. That colour scheme really looks good, although I also liked the Torpedo repaint, as well.

while in the other one, i said i wasnt into gijoe at this time, i was still taking apart and making lbc customs and i did get the viper with trouble bubble. it was my first viper.
i hate that trouble bubble, its a god awful piece of shit that was floppy and fell apart alot. mine is covered in yellow sticky tack to stay together. anyway. my vote for hte viper; and it's not even the best version of the viper. so. whatever. |

There are actually a number of solid choices here. Torpedo, the Viper, and Gung-Ho are great repaints. I like the Hawk a lot, but the black leather jacket seems wrong in a way I can't explain.
At the end of the day, though, if you put purple camouflage in front of me I'm voting for purple camouflage. Alley Viper wins. |

If I had him, I'd probably vote Ace. Such a good repaint. I don't care for the Viper despite being a big Viper fan. I think the Duke is the worst O-ring Duke ever. I know the 2022 Duke has it's detractors, but it's a masterpiece next to this.
The Hawk is great. I have 2...one has the comic pack Hawk head and the other has the accessory pack helmet on. He gets my vote. |

Toss-up between Torpedo or Ace for me. I ended up voting for Torpedo.

Ace (v4) it was okay. Nothing that the 1993 one didn't do, except the helmet mouth piece was hard plastic, I think. That part was not good.
Alley Viper (v4) the leg swap would haunt the mold for years. Got Milk? Viper he was called once. Duke (v7) I refused to buy the set he looked so bad. Still never owned him. General Hawk (v5) Good but lacks original helmet. Gung-Ho (v6) Not so great, the mold needed a better recolor. We never got one. Torpedo (v2) Fine but boring. Viper (v5) the leg swap that would plague us for years. That's enough to disqualify him for me. I went with Hawk. |

Gung-Ho, really? To each their own, but whoever decided to put brown and teal together was clearly colorblind. Yeesh! Last edited by Josh Z; 02-21-2024 at 02:42 PM.. |

The biggest issue IMHO with the Viper was the same issue that every post '94 OG Viper had- those damned BAT legs. I've also yet to find one that with a backpack that stays on.

yeah im not a fan at all of the bat legged vipers, but during the period of 1997-2006 (when the viper pit six pack that brought them back) i had to take what i could get. the 85 version was hard as hell to find; and what ones i did have were because i bought a ton of parts lots at the time and pieced them together.

That was a hard one to pick just one. I think that was one of the best versions of the Alley Viper, and Ace was perfect. But I had to vote for Torpedo. What a great version of him.
