What we call the New Sculpt era is actually several product lines starting with GI Joe vs Cobra, followed by Spy Troops, Valor vs Venom and finally the internet-exclusive Direct to Consumer line. Along the way, old soldiers were given fresh looks and new characters were created. Looking back on that period between 2002 and 2006, the lines are a mixed bag remembered for strange figure proportions and so-so accessories, but also memorable new characters and fresh new ideas. This is an attempt to bring some of the better ideas into the modern era.

''Neo Vipers were at the top of my list for this project. I love the idea of genetically enhanced troopers. It is exactly the kind of thing that Cobra would invest in. The original was plagued with the dreaded T-crotch and/or funky colors, so I jumped at the opportunity to modernize them and give them a better color scheme. ''
