I’m starting to get sold. Just a little.
I haven’t been wild about the Jungle Viper since day one, simply because he’s got so much gear, he seems like he might lack some playability. But the more I see about him, the more I’m getting converted. A fan of the site Jack Sparrow only further fanned the flames by sending along some great pictures of Jungle Viper “in the wild”. This figure is looking cooler and cooler. We’ll see what I think once I get him in hand. Check out the images below.

Wow, this is a popular vehicle overseas… a few Asian sites have posted more galleries of the upcoming Ice Cutter w/ Snow Serpent Officer, including ACToys and abang.com. I’m sorry, but this little vehicle just looks bad ass. I love that huge single tire in the back (very reminiscent of the wildly underrated Street Razor from Sigma 6) and that cannon is absolutely awesome. I’m usually not big on the arctic vehicles, but jeez. So freaking cool.
