SSC Cobra Viper

[thenammagazine]

I never had a Viper in '86, but this sure as hell makes up for that. (Am I the only one who likes to sniff the inside of a SSC figure box as soon as I open it? )

Most of us do. New toy smell ranks right up there with the first case of "stink finger" for most of us.

It's not hard, get a pair of tweezers and a dental pick (which is damned useful) for MOLLE gear, boom, done!

den BOOM !

Can someone take a good pic of the knife, I want to get for my Punisher figure. Thanks

The neck does look long. I switched it to a Cobra Trooper (shorter) neck, and it looks better.

Just arrived and damn is it ever gorgeous.

I could only buy one of them right now, and having a squad of Vipers is looking like it's the only way to go to complete the effect with these guys.

Suffering from Viper envy. Shipping takes so long to get to the East Coast.

Hey guys! We're working on instructions on how to weave the MOLLE Straps to be put up on the Sideshow Website soon. We're a little slammed here as we work toward the end of the year. Thanks for your patience!

Also, I saw there were some concerns about the buckles on the ends of the Magazine Pouch and wanted to address those. First off, this isn't a QC issue. No straps are missing from the figure and all of those buckles should be female buckles. The Cobra Viper's Plate Carrier was based off a real-world example. These buckles are used in an alternate configuration which we hope to use on future releases.

Here's a sneak peak of the alternate configuration to give you a taste of what you might be seeing down the road. Again, this configuration is NOT used on the Cobra Viper.

Hope this clears up some confusion!

SNAKE EYES!!!!!!!!!!!

That looks great; well done!

And here's my pics as promised. This figure is GREAT! I really love how Sideshow chose to go with the Chrome dome. The details on this figure have been raised a notch. The only gripe I have is the small feet. It doesn't look proportionate to his overall presence. But aside from that, everything looks killer on this dude.

These shots made me a fan of the chrome. Still wish the mask didn't protrude below the front of the helmet so much though.

It doesn't though, didn't you see the post from the other lad? Apparently I was blind for suggesting it did protrude further below.

I like this shot the most, awesome pics Mrclean!
I'm really regretting canceling my exclusive, love the alt head!

I guess I missed that memo.

So, it looks like the protrait and the soft helmet are permanently attached. Is that right?

Yes it is.

This figure is looking great. I gotta wait through the weekend for mine, unfortunately.


PS. I can't wait to do some weaving.

Thats for clarifying that Kevin! Still an odd choice not including that configuration while giving us half of the parts needed for that option

But PLEASE do consider including dressing inscructions for these Joes. Most of us can figure out out to take a shirt on and off of Stalker, but some of this military gear isnt' as clear cut for those of us unfamiliar with them.

That was already answered by Silent Surfer. They were a bit worried about the closeness of the likeness they borrowed for the headsculpt.
