Moving quoted posts over from the Crimson Guard thread to this thread because it makes more sense...
I did, but I don't remember the "SAW" being that over-sized; it's as big as the figure!
I like that Hasbro released different Viper specialties / variations, but some of them were ridiculous...
At the top of my list, and iterations I'd like to see Sideshow tackle (NOTE: It goes without saying that I'd like to see the Eels and Snow Serpents):
-The original Viper (Already done, but as an aside, IF there is a G.I. Joe SDCC 2012 exclusive and IF it is a Viper Variant, I hope the faceplate is not red like the card art, but opaque like the original Sideshow prototype. The chromed faceplate was a welcomed surprise, but I'd like to see an opaque faceplate for some differentiation)
-Alley Viper (One of my favorites as a kid; Seb's custom is awesome, Sideshow needs to take notes)
-Tele Viper (Classic design)
-Night Viper (Another one of my faves as a kid)

Then Hasbro went crazy:
I don't mind these guys so much:
-Hydro Viper / Demon of the Deep (I actually liked this figure, but the like the Eels better)
-SAW Viper (Discussed already in the Crimson Guard thread)
-HEAT Viper (Another one of my faves as a kid, but I'm not sure how I feel now; I especially like the explosive shells strapped around his ankle)
-Frag Viper (I liked this guy as a kid, don't think it works now)
-Range Viper (Okay, I liked the skull head exposed brain look as a kid, but don't want one now)
Couldn't find the card art for this guy
-Rock Viper (Nice helmet design. I liked that he came with a PSG, though).
Couldn't find the card art for this guy either.
Under no circumstances should these guys see the light of day:
-Techno Viper
(I like that Cobra has a enginnering division, but don't like the sci fi designs of these guys)
-Astro Viper (Ditto)
-Toxo Viper (Ditto)
-Laser Viper (Ditto)
I'm stopping at 1990, because that's when I stopped collecting the 3 3/4 figures. Wikipedia listed all these Viper variations:

Wow.

I've always liked the Hydro, Frag and Heat-Vipers. Would make kewl figures.
Frag-Viper is something that SS prolly won't make and would be a fun project.

I like the Milkor inspired grenade launcher the Range Vipers came with. Not sure why they looked the way they did, since they were essentially supposed to be Cobra's "ranger" division.
