Well...ah yes the gold-faced Cobra Viper. We never saw one officially released for the GI Joe 25th Anniversary line.....well until now. Factory error? Inadvertent example of "good things come to those who wait"? Chrome "yellowing"? What?!

The aforementioned boards members found Hall Of Heroes Cobra Vipers with gold face helmets. Or gold visors. Whatever. Both were found at Tj Maxx/Marshalls, and Toys R Us Express. In fact, some of us may have gold-face Hall of Heroes Vipers without even realizing it. Hard to believe at 1st, in fact, it brought back memories of a random guy and his "alleged" variant from a few years back. This Viper variant is not the same as the one which was supposed to be released in the canceled Modern Era Viper 5 Pack we told you about early last year. The helmet on the canceled 5 pack version lacked a vacuum metalized faceplate, had removable goggles, in fact the head sculpt was different entirely, and the wrists were not "fixed". In a way, the recent "variant" found is arguably the superior version. More photographic evidence after the jump!

Or maybe not.
