Are you sure? Add a moustache, paint the helment brown and I can see
a Horrorshow custom.

I agree too. I liked it when I first saw it but then realized that no one has any weathering effect in this line so it makes no sense to start now.
Keep him clean. Let us weather him ourselves if we want.

I wonder if they muddied the boots to push sales of the new jungle diorama...

I would agree with this. Drop the weathering from the boots. poll and petition it
I'm in. I don't have a single thing GI Joe, so I wasn't trying to complain, but yeah, that's pretty much the only thing that bothers me

Yeah, I guess I can pick up some from TA or Monkey Depot. I know my parts bin is considerably less extensive than yours and I don't have any sidearms. Just like to see soemthing new besides the standard Glocks. Or maybe a Glock with an extended mag.
I always saw the Vipers boots as spit-polished to a high shine a la Cobra Commander's boots. I know that's impractical, but that's the image I got in my head as a kid from the original RAH card art.

this viper is the best figure i have seen they keep getting better with this detail think how destro is gonna look
The more I look at the pics the more I'm leaning toward agreeing with most of you about the weathering. I see dirt also covers the red strips on his legs. These guys are kind of sci-fi looking, sort of the Cobra equivalent of Stormtroopers. And like the Stormies, I think a clean look works best.

Is it possible his pants are on backwards? I wonder if you spun them around it it looks better than the red patches on the front.
Or can Sideshow be convinced to move the red to the inside of the leg like the inseam.

Sorry guys, but the Viper isn't standing around eating rice krispy treats in the Cobra palace, wondering when the next time they'll get a good glimpse of the Baroness' backside. He's in the field doin' work son. Keep the weathering.
Thats the thing I like that these have the heart of the classic figures with the modernish/realish counterparts. However, a bit of weathering I think could be used on most of these pieces and would look good. Maybe tone down what was used but overall keep it as I expect these guys would be out killing ____.

They toned down the weathering on the 501st so I'm sure the Viper won't come out as the proto.
