Before I get a "this thread is useless without pics"...my camera is non-functional. I just got my Wave in with the Para-viper and...WOW. The Para-Viper has to be one of the best figures i have seen. He is greatly detailed and he comes with swim fins that held to his legs by straps!!! They are removable! His sniper rifle has a folding stock and removable clip. He is a great looking figure. I have yet to open the rest of the figures in this set yet. I wish I ordered more Edit: My Wraith is put together wrong...his arms won't bend right...I am going to have to do some fixing Edit 2: Wraith's arm IS wrong...the major elbow bend is backwards..the whole bottom of the arm won't twist...it maybe glued. |

Wraith's arms are glued. I assume this was done to prevent breakage of the cannon wires. And one of his arms IS on backwards, fixing it is how I broke the cannon wires on mine. - JM |

That's what I thought about Wraith. I used a little glue solvent. It is looser that what it was...i am glad I was the only one with a broke down Wraith. |

The more I look over the Para Viper, the more I see a Ripcord repaint coming out of it. Same gear with different head and a new coat of paint, and Wallace Weems is ready hit the silk. |

No, I don't agree. Hasbro tends to stay away from just repainting the same crap over and over and over, they tend to make new and exciting figures to invigorate the fan base, not just appease the dullard collectors, /runs away . . . back to a mirror universe. I'm thoroughly impressed with this guy's rifle, very nice work. |

Usually you issue the known character first, then a repaint as someone else later. |

Just out of curiosity, what is the base body under all that Paraviper gear? Is it a new body or a previous body with new gear? |

Dream covers his head and waits for the beating thats comming Seriously thought, I think releasing the new charecter first gets around people just brushing offthe new charecters saying things like, "it's just a repaint of so and so." |

Paraviper would be soooo much better if the orange and yellow weren't on it. |
