This was actually not too hard compared to '89 and '88 where I had trouble deciding.

I picked laser viper.

While I do not like the Night Creeper today, I did like him then.
Vapor is somewhat cool, with nice colors, Metal Head was a nice new charachter.
Undertow and Decimator get automatic thumbs up for being diver's/submariner's.

Laser Viper get's my thumbs down just cause I never really liked him, he just does not do anything for me with his big goofy helmet and over the shoulder lasers.

SAW Viper. I like all of the figures, and as a kid, before knowing that SAW Viper was SAW Viper and getting it for a dollar at a flea market, I loved the figure. But then I got the internet and saw that he was supposed to carry some giant gun even though he was scrawnier than the female figures.

This was difficult, since the contenders included Overlord, who was really sort of a pointless character, and Range-Viper, who was just plain bizarre and whose color scheme hardly seemed suited for a Wilderness Trooper.

But the winner was ultimately Vapor. Dumb name, for starters. But the deciding factor here was, while the figure had a cool uniform design -- WHAT IN THE HELL WAS UP WITH THAT HELMET!? I mean, it made the figure look like a defective B.A.T. It totally ruined the overall look of the figure, it really did.

SAW Viper is the easy choice, but I picked Metal-Head. I owned the small leg tab and later the larger leg tab versions. Both broke off, and I was never rough with the figures. The figure fails in that regard, which sucks because the whole idea is he's a walking anti-tank weapon, without the leg launchers the effect is lacking.

This was another tough choice. I ultimately chose Overlord for being the most odd and the least useful, although I like how the character was handled in the Devil's Due era. I strongly considered the S.A.W-Viper, with the horrible colors, odd design, and way overscale heavy machine gun.

I would have gone with Mr, "Bucket on the head" Lazer Viper.

but agreed, The Saw Viper is pretty scrawny, considering the giant gun he holds.

Rock Viper, Range Viper, Night Creeper...These are some of the best figures ever! I voted Laser Viper because the lame weapon/accessories.

I do wish the SAW Viper would have been bigger but regardless I still get more use out of him than the Laser Viper

I went with :rockviper: not because I hated the figure mainly because of how how easy the bloody crotch would break on the figure.

S.A.W.-Viper: awfully big gun. And I hate his backpack nowadays, like 50% of the next-gen ARAH sculpted figures were sold with this backpack (same thing goes for the Rock-Viper and Baroness gun)
