I snagged some Hazard Vipers off eBay and they arrived today.

They are a lot cooler than the Volcano Vipers (pun intended).

I will display them next to my Eco Warriors Septic Tank.

More fun with the Hazard Viper:

Hazard Viper needs a 3 3/4" Toxic Crusader figure to beat the crap of.

D00MTR0N · 09-04-2011, 07:55 AM

great pics

ludovicotek · 09-04-2011, 09:34 AM

I have to take a moment to rave about the Steel Brigade figure. I found surprisingly found three or four of these at my local Fred Meyers, first single-carded 30th stuff I've seen. I'd been dying to get at least a couple of these for display and a mod, so I bought two of them.

I can't stop playing with the one I opened. I dare say that it has refreshed my love for GI Joes, especially in the modern line. I'm not sure exactly which part of the figure makes me happiest, though it's probably the head sculpt, which is to any observant fan the same sculpt as the PoC Beachhead(my favorite GI Joe figure EVER). That sculpt is one of the best Hasbro's put out, and seeing it on a 10/10 figure like Steel makes it even better.

The articulation, the accessories, and the colors make it really really badass to me, especially since I've been in love with the idea of the mail away Steel Brigade since I learned of it, and have always been disappointed that the promotion ended before I was even born(I think). *Whew* Now I'm gonna pose him a little bit more.

Seeing pictures at the Rabbit Haul kind of makes me want to get one. So far I only bought Hazard Viper from the 30th collection. The second wave is an easy pass for me.

Steel Brigade is AWESOME. I bought 3 just so I could configure them differently, swapped helmets with POC General Hawk too. Wave 5 kicked ass. HARD. So now I have a Steel Brigade Grenadier and General Hawk Steel Brigade leader.

So glad that lame Steel Brigade 5 pack was canceled, they look like pansies compared to the POC/30th SB!

More GI Joe Love, im waiting for more pics Ludo!

Darkspeed · 10-04-2011, 11:27 AM

Great pictures guys, I'm really starting to like some of the modern Joe figures... The Hazard Viper in particular looks fantastic, might end up picking that one up!

D00MTR0N · 10-04-2011, 01:50 PM

NoodleChow · 10-04-2011, 02:16 PM

Yeah, I picked up Cobra Commander the other day. Passed on Duke since I'm not a Duke fan. Didn't see Snake Eyes or Firefly though.

Darkspeed · 10-04-2011, 02:52 PM

Glad to see the Renegade figures are making the rounds... Anyone got any pics up yet?

A guy named Cooksux over on the Tank has reviewed Duke & Cobra Commander so far. Here's a link so you can see for yourself.
