arms. The problem with them being skin tone is that the elbows show it's green plastic.

Yep! That’s it!
I spent some time looking at him after this came up, and I *totally* see the “it’s painted on camo on bare skin” thing BUT what kills the illusion for me is that it’s green plastic, so my head automatically reads it as the other colors are “on top” of green sleeves. Never read the Range-Viper arms as bare, either, especially due to the vintage figure.

Oh yeah, I want them to make that body - I just don't care if they make it a blue one because I won't buy that.

I never liked the Python Patrol colorway, but I think it looks really good as an alternate colorway for an officer. I almost bought the long-sleeve Viper in the PP scheme for that reason but I just... can't make myself love that old figure as much as I want to. So I'm hoping they do a Python scheme on the Retro Viper.

Same here. PP has always been my favorite, and the sleeves-up Viper/Tele-Viper is the way to go. I'd also love a Sonic Fighters Viper. And a PP Tele Viper Officer.

Picked up Steeler and Short Fuze at EB.

I don't really have a connection to the originals as a kid but in high school they did reissue an anniversary set of the og 13 at Toys R Us that came with a flag and base to make it look like the Iwo Jima Memorial. Feel obligated to recreate that.
