Cobra Underwater Elite Trooper

Code Name:

Hydro-Viper

India

Carded Figure

Figure Description

This special version of Hydro-Viper was available carded in India in 1995. G.I.Joe toys in India were produced by the Funskool toy company.

Accessories:

Hydro-Viper came with a red mask, a black backpack, two black hoses, two red flippers, a black harpoon gun, a black knife, and a black manta ray.

The Indian Hydro-Viper's mask was entirely red with no paint on it - unlike the U.S. version which has black and yellow paint markings on it.

Body Construction:

The figure is made from the exact same mold of the U.S. release of Hydro-Viper (1988).

However, the entire Hydro-Viper is made of a much darker purple color than the U.S. version.

In addition, the Indian plastic used is of a lower quality.
