the zombie viper is the only figure i have been interested in in like the last 5 or 6 years that wasnt an exclusive. but i had every bit as a hard of a time getting one as if it were an exclusive, they definately seem popular and i dont understand why they havent sent more out.



Because (like with me and Renegades Storm Shadow) you wanted it! Hasbro hates us!

With these types of figures, its like they could print their own money. Yet they don't. Are they afraid of market saturation or something? I mean these are items the customers obviously want. Is it Walmart? Is it too expensive to run an online store to cater to fans? It just seems counter-intuitive.

I'm not really a fan of the whole zombie deal myself. As a monster for GIJoe though, I am fine with it. Because of the idea to include Zombie Vipers and to say there is a Compound Z, you can't over look that there would be a few accidents. So to put in a few zombies here and there wouldn't be without reason. I wouldn't' necessarily go all out and make Cobra Commander, Duke, Snake Eyes, etc. as zombies though. Maybe if you want to take the concept in a different direction and say one zombie retained intelligence and he's likes to dress up as Cobra Commander with a beat up costume, that might work. But for my world it's just Zombie Vipers and a few select troops that got exposed to Compound Z.

But this would be a great way for the collector club to make a Eco-Warrior set as a convention exclusive. They have Cesspool coming already. They could make 3 Sludge Vipers and 3 Sludge Zombie Vipers along with a couple of other bad guys then the GIJoe side fill out with the Eco-Warriors.

This is my take as well. I'm not even that into zombies, as a matter of fact, I'm zombied out, if a TV show or movie involves zombies, I don't want anything to do with it, (vampires too at this point), but.....even though I am zombied out, I would buy 5 or 6 of these at retail just to have a squad of zombies for the Joe team to battle. If someone sick of zombies would buy half a dozen, I have to think these would sell loads.

Wasn't that bad, really. Would have been perfectly innocent, if the caption in the image hadn't dropped an F bomb.
