Comments:Cobra's Ninja Vipers are hand selected from the top tiers of the Cobra Viper units. These individuals must meet Cobra requirements for discipline, brutality, cunning, and ruthlessness as well as lack any pity or emotion. Extensive training is built upon their existing skills and the battlefield experience that pulses in the veins of these snakes. No one quite knows where the ninja training occurs nor if it involves the Cobra assassin Storm Shadow, but it transforms these individuals into more hardened and obedient machines of terror. They are capable in all forms of known martial arts but also exhibit a proficiency in styles unknown and unrecognizable to the most schooled expert. Sabotage, kidnapping and assassinations are their specialty. Cobra Commander takes great pride in this unit and employs them with glee whenever his need to send a message must be swift, harsh and instill fear. Cobra Ninja Viper's on their own are a sinister adversary for any member of the Joe team. When functioning as a unit, a group of these snakes can wreak insurmountable havoc upon their adversaries. They are a foe to be reckoned with and always manage to provide the JOE's an uphill challenge. COBRA!
Sideshow Collectibles' Cobra Ninja Viper figure, which was available primarily as a 2011 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive, was announced on April 14th, 2011. Nearly a month later, on May 12th, 2011, a preview page was published and on May 17th, the figure was fully revealed in an entry in SSC's production blog. The pre-order for this figure was split over two days to accommodate for attendee (May 19th) and non-attendee (May 20th) collectors, and it became available in July, 2011.
