Elite-Viper – “Elite Regiment Officer”

The figure comes with a removable weathered chest plate, which fits well and does not hinder any articulation. He also comes with a black cargo backpack with a notch for the Axe. The backpack is kind of bland, and I do not display my Elite-Viper with it, but it’s always nice to get accessories.

He also comes with a nice pistol belt, with a drop holster. It fits well around his waist, and hangs properly on the figure. I believe it would be removable if you took the lower legs off.

The figure comes with a black pistol that fits in the drop holster, two nicely sculpted black sub-machine guns with full stocks, and an Axe-type weapon that fits in the backpack.

The Elite-Viper comes in the standard Rise of Cobra packaging, with artwork on the left side of the package and the figure placed on the right. The front features decent artwork for the Elite-Viper, while the back of the package has his “file card” with minor details about the character.

The design of the packaging makes it almost impossible to get the figure out of the box without destroying the packaging and artwork, which is annoying to me, but ultimately matters little I’d imagine.
