ROC: ICE VIPER (Artic Assault)

Cobra Ice Vipers!

Like all his cobra brothers, they are injected with nanomites, which makes them inhumanly strong and incapable of feeling any pain or fear.

With their super human capabilities, Ice Vipers are able to withstand freezing temperatures!!

Yet another nice figure to add to The Cobra Collection, here's the ice cold figure:

Packaging Overview:




The Ice viper shown on the card, clearly shows him wearing goggles, however the figures comes with a visor. (also the figures lacks the Cobra Logo shown on the illustration left arm)


Weapons & Accessories:
1) 1X D57-A extreme environment tactical rifle
2) 1X Standard Issue Pistol
3)1X Base Stand
4) 1X Oversize Missile Launching Snow Board
5) 1X Removable Snow Jacket



Overview of the Figure:




Figure shown with his Snow Jacket & Helmet Visor

Close Up Of Figure Facial Features:


Visor: i think the red line in the middle is meant to show the reflection on the visor.


Over All Verdict

There has always been variants of environment condition troopers in the G.I.Joe toy line, example as seen in the cartoon the "Snow Serpents"which are great, however still very cartoon like looking.

This is however not the case with the Ice Viper, as the figures looks more refined,realistic and ready to melt some ice!

Great as the overall figure maybe, it does come with its on set of problems!

Which is when wearing the environment jacket, the Ice Viper is unable to hold his rifle with both hands...kinda a minor let down and it doesn't stand well on its base stand and keeps falling over.

However the presentation of the packaging looks great! easy to cut the edges to remove the figures without damaging the illustration.

I do highly recommend this figures, as it offers a new look on snow/arctic environment condition Cobra Troopers, which would make a fine addition to your collection.

Over All Venom: 8/10
