The figures look cool, but don't like the guns they come with. So probably let MJ arm them.

Actually these were first found on another site, toyark, so "the site which shall not be named" got them from another site and is taking credit for it again.

I really like the look of these figures, yeah a little future tech, but I like them. I will switch out the rifles for some Marauder rifles though.

The 1986 Viper has red grenades in the same location on his upper chest. Never stopped it from being one of the top figures of the entire series. So red grenades may not be "realistic" but they are well established within gi joe lore.

They're incendiary grenades.

dang, got plesantly surprised by theese...... the weapons are meh, but i see some great custom fodder here:D
whatever use they get, this made me anticpate the movie figs a whole lot more.

The more I think about it the more I wonder if the labeling was wrong.

The tags I've read say Viper and Iron Grenadier but the figures share so much in common I think they might all be Iron Grenadiers. Yes two of the figures have the grenades on their shoulds like Vipers, but I don't know if that's enough to make them Vipers.

Either that or I'm just silly and still holding out hope that the Vipers will be in some form of blue. The colors aren't bad if it's two Iron Grenadiers and a leader of some sort but I hope the film makes the two factions stand out from each other more.

Awesome.

I hope that this is indicative of the rest of the line. I love these guys, and will have no problem squad building them if they ever show up in my neck of the woods.

Please let that be a 3 pack in the "room" packaging. I will have a freakin joygasm if this is the kind of thing that they are going to do with Movie 3 packs.

These guys look just different enough to be something new but similar enough to be recognized, WINN
