Any plans for the Zombie Viper?

[Dropshipbob]

I'd *like* to get maybe five. I plan to keep them mostly stock, switch out the heads to make them atleast somewhat different from one another.
Put them in a dio with the two HVs' I have, blah, blah, blah.

Dead body's for my bug/Aliens I got from the red faction line. They can be Zombies or whatever the hell else second to that.

I have plans to also do some up as wounded troops and such.

 

[Midget]

Airtight probably needs something to use his... vacuum?... .on? Is that what that is? A vacuum?

 

[K-Tiger]

At least a dozen, all of which will need repainting (none of this blue garbage) and most will need new heads. Unfortunately good corpse heads are few.

Probably more, though. You can't have a good dio with only a handful.

 

[Keenan]

I'll be using them for my Dio-Stories. They'll be re-purposed as undead US military.
I've got 6 now (well, in route) and I'll pick up as many as I see at retail- which I'm hoping will be another 4-6.

 

[Meddatron]

I plan to pop on some SDS zombie heads and keep building my zombie army up.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

i plan to use a couple as background deco in a dio i've been wanting to do for a very long time

 

[xxxx]

i bought four today...not sure how im gonna use them yet.

 

[alcinde4]

I need 15 at an absolute minimum.

 

[Keenan]

Hope to see lots of Dio pics.

[K-Tiger]

What, he's got the right idea.

 

[Slaymaker]

sell them as soon as I get them...not interested at all

 

[Monkeywrench]

I might get 1

I'll gladly take them off your hands.

 

[Wild weasel]

trade them to people on here

 

[lancelot]

I'll get one or two. I might find a use for them in a stop motion.

 

[Dropshipbob]

I'm trying to figure out what the tendril arms are all about. Maybe it's just some sort of Resident Evil influence?

 

[K-Tiger]

Probably, though it could be Renegades Bio-Viper influence seaping in.


Personally they're gonna just be tossed in the parts bag, never to see use.

 

[fogger1138]

You could paint them and use them as tree limbs, maybe?

 

[SR_501]

Repurpose them as Vines form the Joe Cartoon.

You may be on to Something there Frogger..

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

uhg...you just made me loath them...

they can be sent to guys who get Renegades Ripcord

 

[K-Tiger]

One of them is still obviously a hand, and I'd find better results getting twigs from outside.

Repurpose them as Vines form the Joe Cartoon.

You obviously are unfamilliar with my views on the Joe toon.

I only got to see one episode of Renegades. I don't think I saw a Bio-Viper.

 

[K-Tiger]

They we're just 7' tall snot men that could form tentacles. Definitely not something that really fit in G.I. Joe.


They really looked like something out of Ben 10 or Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Bio Vipers were pretty much no different than the fillings of a Kleenex.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

they were something the Joes could shoot at (and hit) w/o pussy-parents calling up Hasbro to complain that their kids are gonna grow up to become murderers for seeing troopers get shot in a CARTOON

 

[K-Tiger]

Eddie pretty much nailed it.

agreed

 

[lancelot]

that's a funny theory because those wannabe storm troopers in Star Wars have been killing alot of people in the series and not just robots. That makes me wonder if hippie parents really are a problem in America or if are they just that retarded. If Star Wars cartoons can depict violent wars than I don't see why Joes can't shoot bad guys.

 

[Dropshipbob]

True, clone troopers bite the dust on a regular basis on the CGI show. Heck, on the recent story line they plugged a guy who was obviously down and out as they walked by.

 

[Keenan]

I think the issue is that GI Joe is based more in "reality" and Star Wars is fantasy. That's the only excuse I can think of. Then again, the blood flowed in Resolute. So who knows.

 

[K-Tiger]

Because SW is in an established fantasy universe full of aliens, mystical powers and lasers.


Little Billy isn't gonna grow up to fly an X-Wing or have lightsaber duels with some antisocial dickhead with a black leather fetish, but he very well could grow up to be shot in the face by some antisocial, terrorist fuck in some god-forsaken third world shithole.

From a mother's perspectve better a son who likes SWs and grows up to like science or have odd hobbies and never sniffs a pussy than one that watches G.I. Joe, joins up and is dead at 20, blown apart with nothing to show for it but a Purple Heart.
