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.

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.

I wonder why they didn't go this route in the first place. Usually you issue the known character first, then a repaint as someone else later.

Yeah...kind of the same thing that's happening with Matt Trakker. Why didn't we get the Annihilator first?

_________________

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?

_________________

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's Ace's/Wild Bill's torso with new lower arms and lower legs, but I've yet to get one

_________________

It's Wild Bill's upper arms, torso, and upper legs. Para Viper is also a good base for a Lowlight custom.

_________________

Because Matt Trakker is 10 times cooler then Annihilator.

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."

Does his rifle look like this?




I hope so, a scale fg 42 would kick assth! (Cartman voice).

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

Yep and the stock folds to the side.
