I found the Blade Fighter to be overpriced. It is big and it has some cool features and stuff but $100 is simply too much for what is mostly a static piece. The majority of its measured length comes from the claw-pincer section which is pretty much flat. Anyway yeah the original Blade Fighter from Kenner just used Scavage as the pictured pilot (though no figure was included) but NECA figured they should make their own unique pilot character. When they first revealed the set Viper was intended to come with the vehicle but then (perhaps from fan demand for Viper on his own) they removed him from the set and placed him in series 12 alongside Elder v2 and Enforcer while making Bad Blood his own deluxe release. Or maybe they chose to make Bad Blood a deluxe and then re-positioned Viper into series 12 to keep it at 3 figures. Either way Viper remains NECA's first 100% original predator, Battle-armored Lost has many original elements but is still ultimately a character from Predator 2 so he can't count as completely original.
