Alley Viper is molded primarily in this bright “red”(it still looks pink to me, maybe I’m getting colorblind in my old age,) with black plastic for the head, lower legs, and hands. The paint itself is a gray tone applied in a camo pattern, which is shared by the shield. There are applications of black, silver, maroon, and a dab of flesh to highlight the eyes in the head. All in all, I think the paint is well done. It’s fairly crisp, and highlights a lot of the finer details that really deserve a dab of paint.
If only they’d cast it in a darker color.
The Alley Viper comes with a few of the accessories that came with the POC version, as well as a few others to differentiate it from any others. As if the color wasn’t different enough. So you get the helmet, the shield, baton, knife, and SMG that’s familiar to the AV. Then you get an M4, machete, Stalker/Jungle Duke’s webgear, and, oh yes, a zipline. Hurray!
Thankfully, aside from having to select one gun or the other, pretty much everything else will store on the figure somewhere. The baton fits in the shield, knife in the arm sheath, machete in the side sheath, zipline in the garbage. See? It all stores nicely!
Note: Stand not included. Duh.
i was so excited about this figure and wanted 10 like the others, but as soon as i got it i was like, nvm. this thing is trash.. so this and the dark ninja quickly became a NO to my army building.
i’m glad though, i really cant afford to army build this line except will make way for night viper.
i’m just gonna save my money to army build the damn tomahawk.. and just buy a few indivisual characters upon release. not sure what other army builder is in this line, hopefully not many says me wallet.. what, your wallet don’t talk? mine’s empty, so it’s constantly flappin’..
