Crimson Neo-Viper
G.I. Joe - Rise of Cobra (Hasbro)Another really good figure from the Rise of Cobra line. The paint job is top-notch, nice and shiny like it should be, and does not chip easily at all. He's another one of those accessory packed figures that I always end up buying, coming equipped with a removable chest plate, machine gun with a bayonet, a pistol, a pike, a pair of hatchets, a machete, a coral snake, a cage for the coral snake with a removable lid, an over sized rocket launcher with a launching missile, and his display base. But here's the reason I didn't give this guy the full five stars; unlike most Rise of Cobra figures, he has no holsters, backpacks, belts, or anything to hold his weapons except his own two hands. Therefore, it is a bit more difficult to find the right pose for him on your shelf, but this is surely nitpicking, even by my standards. As for articulation, he has a ball jointed head, ball hinged shoulders, ball hinged elbows, swivels at the points where his gauntlets meet his arms, ball hinged upper abs, ball hinged hips, knees that bend at two points, and ball hinged ankles. Overall, I personally was happy with Crimson Neo Viper. He was a bit overpriced, but that was just a bad choice for where to buy him on my part, and if you have a Cobra Commander figure, you NEED two of these guys to be on either side of him, especially if you have the limited edition Pursuit of Cobra version. They complete each other perfectly, but that's another review.
