Data Viper is what you would consider a miracle in the toy collecting world. He was a toy that got canceled for the Pursuit of Cobra line up and people were upset. As you can tell he is a beautiful toy and he comes with a treasure trove of weapons / parts. He was also the only toy to ever use the American stealth drone too. He was canceled with the Kwinn’s action figure because the Pursuit of Cobra sales were down and Hasbro started to pump out Retaliation toys. Now fans did not care as much until they displayed him and Kwinn in the 2012 vault for canceled toys and showed people first hand how amazing he was supposed to be. This got fans so angry that Hasbro actually started to take notice and scheduled him and Kwinn in their third wave of Retaliation!
Now Data Viper came with a lot of armor for his data vipering or something along those lines. They actually show him in a few comics piloting the drone through remote control by using the suit. Now the best part of the third wave to Retaliation is that they all had figure stands again! This would have been horrible for Data Viper because he is extremely top heavy. He is one of the heaviest toys I have ever dealt with for Joes. It is all in that armor.
The helmet has a little trouble going on and off and the yellow handles rub off on the hands so please be careful when touching this toy. He looks amazing posed but is pretty clumsy for playing with. This would be great for a diorama or just to have posed in your collection. Just be weary of losing parts!
