Red Alert, Red Alert, Red Alert! Cobra has once again reared its ugly hood and a new breed of GI Joe specialist is all that stands between the evil terrorist organization and their renewed quest for world domination. A routine training mission is cut short, and squad leader Vanguard and his team of rawhides are thrust into battle against Cobra's newest and most dangerous operatives
With all new vehicles, figures and accessories GI Joe: Next Generation Warfare puts you in control of the battle. Collect them all and decide the fate of the world!
In developing my Next Generation Warfare assortment of figures, I knew there was going to be a few sets of Cobra troops. Just as with the Risk Vipers, I am not content with just one figure when its intended to be an army builder, so a few of these were pieced together. Then I envisioned the Risk Vipers as a 5 pack sold all together, which would include 4 Risk Vipers and 1 support Risk Viper S (S for support).
When piecing together multiples of on figure, I like to make the parts as simple as possible, and try to choose figures that are relatively cheap to come by, which these all are.
Bio:
Risk Viper; Combat Search and Rescue
The Cobra equivalent of Air Force Pee-Jay's, Risk Vipers are essentially Medi-Vipers looking for action. They specialize in high risk rescue operations, intelligence gathering, and security. Skilled HALO and LALO jumpers, they parachute behind enemy lines equipped with state of the art gear including battle helmets with internal communications net, re-breather to prevent hypoxia, and night vision optics. Aside from being a trained medic they are proficient rifleman.
"Let's say your Firebat gets shot down behind Joe lines. Providing you actually survive the crash you know the Joe's are out looking for you, so what do you do? Find cover, sit tight and rest easy knowing the Risk Vipers are coming to pull your butt out of the fire. No matter where, no matter when, Risk Vipers put their lives on the line for their Cobra brethren."
