Variations:
Motor Viper's head was molded in two different colors, one in a lighter shade of blue matching the detail on the top of the head, and in a darker blue matching the majority of the helmet. Note the area of light blue paint on the front of the neck ball on the head molded in the dark blue. It is unknown which version is more difficult to find.
For the 1994 G.I. Joe Convention, carded Motor Vipers were for sale. The figures themselves are identical to the retail release. |
Body Construction:
Motor-Viper's body mold is entirely original and not made up from previous molds.
Motor-Viper's chest, arms, waist, and legs were re-used in 1990 to create the Sky Patrol Airwave.
