BRAND NEW! NEVER PLAYED WITH OR DISPLAYED! a rare color way WHAT IS RED LASER? Red Laser's Army was a third party manufacturer of o-ring format action figures, in the style of G.I. Joe - A Real American Hero. Production has ceased on Red Laser figures as of 2021 and the molds for these figures have been retired. WHAT IS THIS ACTION FIGURE? In 2016, Red Laser began producing v1 Cobra Viper style figures. For the first time in 30 years, collectors were able to get their hands on ARAH style o-ring viper figures that had the ORIGINAL MOLD of viper legs, rifle, and backpack. No more BATS legs!! But the real icing on the cake was the amazingly well designed removable helmet. Expanding on a concept Hasbro itself never quite delivered on, the head mold for these figures was based on the removable helmet crimson guard figures from the early 2000s. But instead of a bulky cartoonish helmet, they have a perfectly sized, sleek representation of the original v1 viper head mold. once the helmet is on you can barely tell the difference! The quality was also quite high on these, the paint apps are nice, joints tight for the most part, and there's a heft to the plastic not seen in other reproduction pieces. that being said... THESE ARE NOT OFFICIAL HASBRO PRODUCT! They are custom reproductions of army builder figures from the original A Real American Hero line, in interesting color ways which were never originally produced. The intention is to be able to army build new divisions within your collection with NEW figures and at a lower price point than the vintage.  Like Black Major, Red Laser figures will sometimes have minor flaws and lower quality control. They may be difficult to stand up straight. the legs may pull to one side. They may have random paint errors, extra plastic flash on body parts from imperfect molding, gaps where two pieces of plastic meet, loose joints, or hard to pose limbs. the sigil isn't always applied perfectly. The plastic also feels a bit lighter than original hasbro run. Overall, these removable helmet viper figures are very high quality. you may find the occasional slightly loose joint or very minor paint error but it won't be nearly as bad as some other figures. These are some of the highest quality third party figures ever made. please carefully examine the pictures for exact condition and feel free to message me with any questions.
