The BJ's gift set had a lot of problems. At the time, though, there was a good consensus that the Fast Blast Viper was the cream of the set. 17 years later, this still holds true. For some reason, the color really works on this mold. Asian overstock and clearance sales helped to sate collector demand and have left this figure available. Here's the best of him from around the web.

For some reason the supply of BJ's Fireflys and Undertows ran out, but there's still Fast Blast Vipers available from china. I think Black Major bought a lot of the china stock of Undertow and Firefly. Because, rows of identical figures on shelves...that's what collecting is about! LOL
