SSC Cobra Viper

[The Josh]

Exclusive also require a deposit and cancellation fee now.

Not on 1:6th.

I don't like being put into a position where I have to decide today what I might want or not want 6-9 months from now...and having to pay SSC for the privaledge of considering them in my budget. I know its hard to imagine, but I may have a need for $135 in 6 months that I don't know about today...such as if my employer decides to hit me with an additional 2% of my annual salary towards mandatory pension payments like they did last week.

I don't understand what is wrong with you people that you villianize some one who is either not as rich as you or not willing to rack up credit card debt for toys.

Hey I understand. I have been ba!!s deep in 1/6 collecting since Jedi Luke. Star Wars, LOTR, Indy, and GI Joe. Alas, Indy and LOTR died out. The recent slap of about 25K of additional adoption costs has seriously put collecting into perspective. Still buying but, more picky.



At least till I can get my wife to get a second job,.....

Not trying to make you look bad or calling you a bad guy Prog. I guess to me it's black and white. You either want to get these figures or you don't. I'll cancel other crap before I give up ma' Joes.

BTW, If anyone is buying these collectibles with a credit card then you seriously need to evaluate you finances. NEVER use a credit card to buy this stuff. Just a humble word to the wise.

I see all the standard complaints are being rehashed. Yaaawwwwnnnnnn. Don't some of you get tired of posting the same old same old ad nauseum with every figure?

That being said...I wish his uniform was solid black...

And Jango Fett? I think some of you guys are experiencing a hatred for Sideshow's clone sculpts that is making you halucinate that every unmasked portrait is starting to look like Jango to you all (I seem to remember that one of you guys thought Duke and Beachhead looked like Jango Fett as well). Or you smoked some crack. Either way...

I won't know for sure until it is in-hand...but based on these pictures, the seeming awesomeness of this figure is nearly blinding.

 

[Skiman]

That's Busey and Loli-pop.

LOL...yeah...them too!

I dont know why they didnt stick with the original boot/shinpad/kneepad combination. I think that would look awesome, very riot gear inspired. I see the vipers as being crowd control or shock trooperish but the boots look ridiculous with the red accents and the kneepads are way too small.

The boots look similar to Zartans.

The boots look similar to Zartans.

parts re-use like Hasbro

I actually LOVE all of Sideshow's clone sculpts. But even you have to admit, there's a bit of Morrison in both Storm Shadow and this guy.

Yes they do, and with the arm guards the Viper has could we see a Zandar in the future? Zartan is already in works, right?

...and parts re-use like Sideshow.

And Prog, I can see how you wouldn't like being put in a position where you have to commit to a $135 purchase months in advance, but I'm guessing that Sideshow doesn't like being put in the position of reserving orders for people who don't honor their side of the deal.

It has come to the point where if you want the privilege of a guaranteed reservation, then you have to make a commitment.

 

[BuddyGus]

Congratulations?

Thanks Nam. It isn't final yet. And we have run into every problem you can think of. Let's just say no good deed goes unpunished.

She is three and she loves "Ackon Piggas" so I am sure she will like the Viper too.

 

[AW177]

Ok so who's gonna preorder the exclusive? Not sure if I care for the extra head...??

Yup, whether store bought or home grown, it makes no difference. It's nice having little bambinos running around the house.

Though, I don't get the paperwork. If you're a Hollywood star they just toss the baby into your arms and mail you the paperwork. But if you're just one of us commoners, they require a bone marrow scrape before you can even start filing.

Haven't decided. NRD will be a factor if there is one. The extra head isn't crucial, but I think it's cool enough. If Eels, Snow Serpents and Tele-Vipers end up having them, I'll wish I had got this one.

 

[Skiman]

Crucial, lets break the bank Devil, I want you on the streets

Count me in.

 

[devilof76]

I'm there.

Especially since I just convinced myself that it's crucial.

Count me in.
