Destro from HissTank returns from a self-imposed vacation with a great gallery of the upcoming Wave 1 COBRA Viper Commando figure.
Checkout the gallery here. Thanks to Destro at HissTank for the heads up.
Like the COBRA Neo-Viper, this is another figure that I really like. It’s pretty cool how the Neo-Viper is sort of a “beefed up” version of this more standard Viper Commando, with some similar elements, yet bulkier armor, and more advanced weaponry. I think I like the Neo-Viper more than the regular Viper Commando, but there are some things about this figure that I like as well.
To see my own pictures of this figure taken during Toy Fair, check out the gallery below:
Man, the backpack on that one is awesome! I think this marks one of the very few Joes that have a rope and grapple that you can actually use! I dunno why, but they liked giving out the ropes and grapples without much else (then again, my main Joe days were in the 90s, so I missed awesomeness like Hit & Run with his bag). Man, it’s so good to see some of these older conventions coming back.
He really has a intimidating feel to him. I could imagine him staring into the face of his victim who would have his last look into the cold,sinister face mask.
He is not really my favorite of the movie line figs but he is pretty cool.
