Viper
« on: May 17, 2008, 01:41:10 PM »
hmmm just got the new vipers (well 3 of them anyway) and I gotta say it looks pretty sweet.
However i really dislike the goggles. they come off way to easy for my liking. Any touch on the head the the thing comes off! Tempted to glue them on or leave them off permanently.

I am still waiting for mine to arrive via smalljoes.  I wasn't impressed with the Viper to begin with.

Does your Viper manage to stand up straight with the stand?  Mine keeps falling over and hench I have to have him in a hunchback position so the figure wouldn't topple over.  And the left hand for the figure is brutal.

I have about 50 Vipers so far and 42 are in my display.
All of them has a piece of 5 cents tape under the stand.  Now my vipers can stay up.
Without this tip, they always fall one on another.
Hope this help.

50 already? Man, I don't even have one yet. Where did you score than many Vipers?

Dave, I suspect the 50 figures were obtained from the States.  I haven't seen 50 Vipers in my area, more like 8. 

I have over 50 of the originals and at least they can stand up straight.  Hence, I am not going nuts on this version or any of the 25th figures in terms of army building.  The cost and the construction of the figures so far are turn offs.

I understand what you saying but I still haven't even seen one freaking Viper yet.

We need more product on the shelves.  As soon as it's put out it's sold out already. Come on Hasbro Canada. We need more volume.

Saw them at Walmart today-Canadian cards take a little away from it.  Holding out for US ones.
