Hasbro G.I. Joe Classified Series Cobra S.A.W.-Viper Figure Review

Hasbro G.I. Joe Classified Series Cobra S.A.W.-Viper Figure

 

The S.A.W.-Viper (Semi-Automatic Weapon) joins Hasbro’s G.I. Joe Classified 6″ line-up, and is inspired from the vintage o-ring figure first released in 1990. Apparently, the machine gun that came with that 3 3/4″ o-ring figure is large enough and compatible with this new 6″ figure, which is interesting to say the least.

The vintage bio reads as followed: The S.A.W. Viper is equipped with a gyro-established cryoriginally-cooled mini-chain gun, scoped with an infrared night-vision, auto-ranging, optical sighing system. This means that he has a highly accurate, low malfunction machine gun that doesn’t burn out the barrel during intense rapid-figure bursts. It’s nothing for him to zone-in on a flea nestled in heavy brush over 800 yards away, in pitch darkness and pick it off in one shot.

The S.A.W. Viper is given a modern update and has some elements from his vintage 1990 o’ring figure, but is also given some new armor and accessories he’s never had before. The suit is in a dark purple with a metallic purple vest, all given sculpted details and textures that define this character. He has dark purple shoulder pads, arm guards, and knee pads for protection, and underneath these pads is the same shade of purple as the vest. There are also some parts in-between the armor you see the black suit underneath, as well as the belt with a green belt buckle, black mask, and a purple Cobra logo on his chest. The piece around his head is loose fitting but not meant to be taken off unless you remove the head. The back of the vest has darker purple pads, and his belt includes a sheath for the knife and a a holster for the pistol.

He comes with an all-new backpack, Semi-Automatic Rifle, a saw that plugs into the bottom of the Semi-Automatic Rifle, along with an ammo belt that connects to both of these weapons. Also included is the helmet, pistol and a knife. The Semi-Automatic Rifle is meant to be held by two hands, with the chainsaw, ammo belt and backpack placed on and connected to the appropriate parts. These are painted the same colors as the figure, with purple, black, with a dark grey ammo belt and a metallic grey chainsaw.

His articulation includes a ball jointed head and neck, swivel-hinged and butterfly shoulders, swivel biceps, double-hinged elbows, swivel-hinged wrists, ab crunch, swivel waist, ball jointed hips, swivel thighs, double-hinged knees, swivel calves, hinged and rocker ankles.

Comparing him to the Alley Viper, Cobra B.A.T., Techno Viper and Night Creeper, the S.A.W. Viper has his own distinct likeness and uniform as do all the different Cobra vipers and troopers. This trooper however certainly stands out with that giant Semi-Automatic Rifle and saw.

Overall the S.A.W. Viper is an excellent figure and a great modern update to the vintage figure. The attention to detail, weapons and character likeness looks great and this is surely a character you’re going to want to buy multiples of.
