[@petermoline5355]

Range Viper and Alley Viper were some of the last figs i bought from the line as well back in the day. Also delivering newspapers! I "found" GI Joe Classified about a month ago and was blown away. I have about 20 now with Range Viper on Pre-order and the Alley Viper already patroling the display cases. I have really enjoyed your videos too! Looking forward to more Corbra figures!

[@BaldyLockz]

Hey thank you so much! Nice to meet a fellow paperboy haha! Have fun and good luck with the collection!

[@TIY555]

someone need to do a 3d print of that range viper head-sculpt so we can make our own range viper

[@Deadspace448]

The fact it's a Walmart Exclusive is going to make army building this viper a pain in the butt. Especially when loads of these figures are being released overseas everywhere except in the US. At least the Fire Team version is easier to preorder. I only need one and just make him the squad leader to the normal blue Range-Vipers.

[@BaldyLockz]

I really like the 788 version. Hopefully Walmart gets their act together

[@ghostman5620]

"...these figures are being released overseas everywhere except in the US." Just stop and think about how fucking stupid those words are.

[@rallogump]

Never heard of Clover, neighbor. I didn't know the Range Viper or Big Ben till I sat down and watched the DIC cartoon series earlier this year....and that was a rough watch. Cool looking figure, I hope to get him someday. Pissed off that Walmart cancelled my pre-order...I was going to call him, Out-Viper....

[@BaldyLockz]

I tried the same and watching it now vs being a kid makes a huge difference haha. Am I the only one that had Clover? That store was great

[@Phunku]

Born 82 so all the second gen gi joes I loved. All the vipers from. 87/88 on I had. Got the new alley viper, gonna order a range. Need the night viper next.

[@BaldyLockz]

Yes!! And I can’t wait for the Rock Viper. With Alpine finally announced I expect the Rock Viper in the same wave

[@Phunku]

@@BaldyLockz I missed out on the python guys. Might have to eBay them, I liked that collection when it came out when I was a kid too. Looking forward to the rock viper too

[@rootofevil777]

Love Paperboy, especially arcade version, with handlebar control. Outback head on Viper body actually looks good (like he’s infiltrating). This Range Viper will be my largest troop builder. Love its load out. Range Viper was after my collecting days. Big Ben too.

[@BaldyLockz]

This is a great load out and solid army builder. You’ll love it

[@tnazealot2143]

The whole Assault On Cobra Island 3 3/4 box set I want to see in Classified 1/12! Strato-Viper, Lamprey’s & a few others to complete that all Cobra’s 7-Pack box set.

[@BaldyLockz]

Now that would be a great Classified set

[@grimmspectre9660]

Now this is an excellent reuse of pieces. Well done Hasbro. 👏

[@BaldyLockz]

Most probably won’t catch it first glance but this is exactly how you do a repaint well

[@grimmspectre9660]

@@BaldyLockz Absolutely! You have a keen eye as I probably would not have noticed this. But it does make a lot of sense.

[@MadThanos79]

To be honest, it was quite obvious this is an Outback repaint from the very first renders. The sleeves and knee guards are dead giveaways and after noticing those it's rather easy to figure out that the rest of the body is the same. In any case, great figure, I had to order mine (3x) from China since Pulse sold out in minutes and we don't have Walmart here in Euro land.

[@BaldyLockz]

Yup, you can usually see it in the renders but I always wait for in hand to confirm. It’s just such a great load out to switch up an existing mold. It’s really well done. I think once Walmart has these in hand they’ll be easy to get. We’ll see.

[@stevewegling8070]

Baldylockz, Its a masterful use of reuse. I picked up the 2005 single card 3.75 figure and loved it. He is loaded out well and has the continued storage for accessories, sweet. My area never had Clover. One of my olde sources of figures was Gold Circle. Toys are us and children's palace also figured into my joy😉 excellent pics and the jump scare style coming at you was fantastic.✌️

[@BaldyLockz]

Thanks for that! Never heard of Gold Circle but we all had those special little spots back in the day. Thanks for the nice words. I wasn’t sure how lightning pics would work haha

[@NerdRahtio]

I do wish they would have updated to long sleeves, as I don’t like the flesh painted black looks, but overall it’s awesome.

[@BaldyLockz]

It’s not noticeable unless you’re really looking but I agree. Sleeves would feel right for this character but it kind of looks like a bodysuit to me(I guess)

[@gatofucsia9742]

Great work.

[@BaldyLockz]

Thank you so much @gatofucsia9742

[@lokiwartooth1138]

Too cool how the weapons stow away

[@BaldyLockz]

So simple but smart right?

[@cadehammontrre6241]

Im frickin excited for the new preorders

[@BaldyLockz]

Me too. They seem to be on a good track so hopefully they stay course

[@davidr8389]

Great review. He looks awesome.

[@BaldyLockz]

Thanks he really does

[@EvanGenter]

Tried switching outback's head out and the top neck peg on the range viper's is too small for it. What did I miss?

[@wilnewman5372]

My order got cancelled buy Walmart !!! I went ahead and ordered 2 from AliExpress, got them in a few days !! They are Awesome Figures !!!

[@BaldyLockz]

That’s great. My first one was from a friend and the others from a contact that went to HK. I’m so glad I don’t have to wait for Walmart

[@wilnewman5372]

Awesome !!!

[@wilfredodiaz8743]

Wish that outback arm viens weren't so noticeable on the Range Viper and i don't think the Black paint obscure them. However it's still a cool looking figure and Design Great unboxing and review video as always 👍👍👍

[@BaldyLockz]

I definitely wanted to point it out in case someone didn’t care for it.

[@wilfredodiaz8743]

@@BaldyLockz I don't like it that they can be seen but i still want these figures... Ordered 2 of the Vipers on hasbro pulse 😁

[@ucitymetalhead]

The only thing I don't like about the outback re-use is the flesh colored arms being colored black.

[@BaldyLockz]

You’re not alone. A lot of people aren’t feeling it

[@rickdavis329]

Shame most of the world got screwed from Walmart

[@ghostman5620]

I got my screwed from Target. Got that RedCard 5% off.

[@MaximumWarp2099]

Anybody know if this figure will be released in Walmart stores?

[@BaldyLockz]

He’ll probably show up. Keep checking. Seems like Thursday mornings there’s a short restock online. Good luck

[@eduardvanzweeden2497]

I could not get one ...Wallmart and Hasbro Pulse are assholes

[@BaldyLockz]

You'll be able to get one

[@prophet924]

Gonna grab a few I think. Seems like the level of specialty would dictate a small squad being able to do what these guys do. They look insane. I remember seeing that design and wondering if it was a mutate of some sort. Just wicked.

[@lonedragon3261]

Thanks, Baldy! I have a few of these on preorder.

[@BaldyLockz]

Hey LD! Yeah just keep an eye on Walmart and their shenanigans

[@djfiveash9068]

Great review!!!!!! Love the Range Viper. Can't wait for mine to come in😃😃 and the 788 version too

[@BaldyLockz]

That 788 version is killer. He’s the best of the squad

[@LandofMert76]

A must have for me . I don't think he was the last figure I got, but close.

[@BaldyLockz]

It’s crazy that we can remember. I’m positive it was the 3 I mentioned.

[@jigsawnora3207]

I think its a great fig! I hope to get him if he comes back into stock! Actually I wouldn't mind having a total of 4 of those guys! Nice review🎉🎉🎉

[@BaldyLockz]

Thank you. Yeah I usually do even numbers but I think 3 would be cool for me

[@cmoney7363]

Hopefully Walmart will ship mine out. I didn't receive a cancel email, but I did receive an email where my balance is $0.00

[@BaldyLockz]

Good luck and keep me posted

[@caseywheeler8178]

Great review 👍

[@BaldyLockz]

Thanks so much

[@Buff88]

Great figure!

[@BaldyLockz]

He’s so cool looking

[@gregarcher8177]

No attachment to the character, he's after my joe days but it looks pretty cool.

[@BaldyLockz]

Yeah that’s how I feel about Big Ben but he looks good too

[@gregarcher8177]

@@BaldyLockz yep I agree and was able to get him ordered from Walmart, just waiting for them to ship.
