>>9063119Bro, wtf. That "weird bow and arrow thing" was a gun that fired a gappling hook. Also, there was no 25th Anni Alley Viper. I'm guessing you mean pic related, the single-card release figure with a fucktillion accessories in the Pursuit of Cobra line. Thing is, Hasbro was actually super generous during that era, so all the figures came with a ton of accessories. Especially army builders like Alley Viper and the Shock Troopers.
None of the Alley Vipers before or after that came with close to that much stuff, though. The original '89 blue and orange one only had the shield, the backpack, and one, maybe two guns. Most releases came similar accessory loadouts, and many Alley Viper release didn't even have the shield, despite it being like, the most iconic part of his ensemble.
Also, why would you want to pay more? We already know they can give a ton of accessories in the classified line, especially with figures like the CI trooper. The only things a classified Alley Viper would need to come with are;
The Shield
The backpack, with removable grappling hook gun
Make the helmet removable, and allow the visor to swing up and down
1-2 medium size guns
With the way all the vests, webgear, belts, etc are handled, I'm sure he'd have handgun in a holster and a knife in a sheathe somewhere.
That's really all you'd need. Although, since its about 98% certain AV will be a CI release, they could probably just toss one more gun in there, and the helmet with the goggles that the PoC one had, and then they'd probably make a standard release where they removed that helmet, the gun, and the shield, like the removed shit for the standard cobra trooper.
