I gave a bunch of the Alpha vehicles and random figures to my niece and nephew, and I found that I had a hard time making a lot of the figures fit in many of the vehicles.  Especially with figures with poor waist/upper leg articulation.  Ditto the gunships troop carrier port, the figures were a bitch to get in if at all.

The Volcano Viper is incredibly cool, but does not fit into the Lava Pod!!!

That is will the figure fully load with his equipment, how about when he is not? How much did you have to remove to make him fit?

You have to remove everything including his coat. He looks FUGLY without it. His neck is unhuman.

I will have to put another figure in the Lava Pod instead.

Jon, you need to ditch the lava pod.  Much like Savaran's proposed trades get my keepers, it's crap.

It would be good for people to give their unwanted alphas to the kids at the canjoecon, I plan to bring a few to give away.

It's fantastic! It reminds me of those drill tanks from TMNT.

I'm gonna be starting up my website again and I thought I'd do a story revolving around one of the Joes stealing one and infiltrating an underground Cobra operation.

I also picked up a Pit Commando today. (the Steel Brigade helmet sold me on him) I'm really happy that there are new figures that aren't just remakes of old characters. I love the nostalgia and everything, but I've got a ton of Destro and Snake Eyes figures and am happy to have new characters to complement them. Volcano Viper is one of them.
