I'm not quite sure why this one is available at this time as it's wave hasn't been released yet but from an ebay seller, I scored this tac Zombie Viper figure.
Described on the file card as cobra infantry troopers that have been given a mysterious chemical substance (compound z), that has turned them into drones. Wiped of all thought, they follow orders mindlessly and cannot be reasoned with or sidetracked.
He includes a containment helmet with attachable hose and chemical container (or so it looks like) and alternate tendril arms that can interchange with his claw action hands. Also included is the figure stand.
First off, the articulation of this guy is excellent from the double jointed knees to the extra joint in the wrists allowing a changing grip. the lower arms and hands are detachable below the elbow with included seperate tattered shirt cuff pieces that allow connection of alternate tendril arm pieces.
The containment helmet has multiple peg holes to attach the hose to and the chemical container has multiple attachment points on the tattered vest accessory that for the most part looks like a network of straps with some tool detail on the sides. His uniform under this looks like it has had a tough time of it with molded tears on his lower legs and the previously mentioned tattered cuff pieces. Cobra emblems can be seen on the upper arms and chest. The zombie head sculpt is exquisite and has a face that only a mother could love. "I must mold this head" This zombified sculpting continues down his lower arms, lower legs, hands, and feet. While I don't care for the containment helmet, "why cover a face like that?", the tendril arms are a great add in and he certainly looks intemmidating reaching out with them.
One can expect this figure to be scarce and hard to find, even with Hasbro's excellent distribution of this line.
Zombie army builders rejoice.
I decided to take more than the normal number of pics for this one.
