Body Construction:

Tele-Viper's body is completely original - all new body parts.

The chest/torso piece was re-used in 1986 to create Claymore. The entire mold was re-used in 1989 to create Python Tele-Viper.

Starting with this series (Series Four, 1985), the head joint on G.I.Joe figures was changed into a head "ball". This ball allowed the head to look up and down, in addition to left and right.
