You know, for the most part I really don’t care for the V-vs-V line. I bought a lot of Joe toys including a MISB Joe Hydrofoil (“coast guard” version) and it came with 13 V-vs-V figures MOC. I planned on reselling them but when I got them it came with 4 of the V5 Tele-Vipers.

I had been planning on getting 4 original Tele-Vipers to man the seats in my Terror Drome but after giving these guys a good look, I actually think these are far cooler. They come with great accessories (cool mouth piece and a great shoulder mounted antenna). They are the colors of the original TV's but look meaner (I always thought the original TV's had a goofy looking head).

Needless to say I’m going to still sell the others (4x Sand Vipers, Baroness, Dusty, Ace, Kamakura, Sgt. Stalker) but the Tele-Vipers are going to the Terror Drome!

Yes these Tele-Vipers are the best out of all versions.

A couple notes about the figure:
Even with all his gear on, you can STILL put the old school televiper backpack on him with no real difficulty

The figure is not a true Valor vs. Venom offering, he actually dates from the end of 2003 (the bad proportion era)

Yeah, I know I have about 3 dozen of these! I picked them up when Dollar General was selling them.

Agreed- I really like them too. I thought there were a lot of decent figs from VvV but I seem to be in the minority.

Haven't been to Dollar General lately- I think I'll go tonight.
