I had the original as a kid, and I've been looking forward to (and dragging my feet on) getting Hydro Viper (Comic) from Super7. It's an obscure one - he was a one-off U.K. comic character based on the toy. Hasbro's toy has had a purple suit, removable helmet, webbed left hand, and manta ray buddy. This one has a very similar SCUBA, right-sized hoses, and a harpoon gun along with a couple of flippers. It's not quite exactly what I wanted to get back... but it's neat.

He's from wave 8 as their obligatory trooper, and he's pretty decent. Now in an orange suit which seems to be an excellent match for the Action Force Monthly #14 comic that I'm going to pretend I heard about before knowing this figure existed. I wish I had my original to compare it, but alas, I traded it for a Vectrex. You'd have done the same.

Cobra's underwater elite trooper is a specially trained (and mutated) Eel, which makes sense given genetic mutation was about to be a big deal across the aisle on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pegs. Today, this guy just comes off as an eccentric diver - but that's still pretty cool. The monster mask now has one big lenses rather than two eyes, but it keeps the painted head fin and the yellow triangle. The yellow patches on the torso are still there, but they blend in with the orange body suit. The red belt, harness, bracelets, and other forms are all still basically still there - just changed. The figure's feet no longer match the swim fins, but it's pretty close.

The sculpt is pure retro nonsense. It's great. You've seen scales like this in comics and comic art, so Aquaman fans might go see this and go "ah, I see what you did there." The body is basically standard Joe fare, with the addition of webbed skin between the thumbs on both hands. The sculpted mask has very pointy ears - shades of Namor - and it's worth noting the plastic piece above the elbow is also sculpted with scales. It lacks the luster of real Hasbro figures, and the painted red head doesn't feel perfect, but I have to admit - this is a very nice goofy figure.

For a Super7 figure, it's pretty great. I pulled out their o-ring Creature from the Black Lagoon ReAction+ Figure [FOTD #2,941] and they seem like decent rivals. The creature has totally different skin and scales, but has the webbed hand the Hydro Viper lacks.

The figure works for me, despite being a good figure of an off-model one-off comic that most collectors never read. He can hols his spear gun, the hoses fit pretty well in the mask (but may pop out if you turn the head too much,) and the SCUBA pack looks like a bluer, smaller version of the original. It's a neat riff on an old figure, and since it actually works with my older figures and vehicles I'm all for it. Sure, the hands are hard plastic. Yes, it can take a bit to get the accessories in there just right. But there's something charming about that old figure feel, and Super7 has done a pretty good job with Hasbro's baby. Nobody who played with the originals as a kid will mistake the less lumpy sculpt for a vintage figure, but it handles well enough that you might just forget it's not an old lost toy.
