I had a couple of the Vipers back then but how I got them seems to have been lost to time or a brick or three of hash.PAINT-WIPEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07882474234690207223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1730351558727980814.post-34644382943780920672018-10-23T18:30:42.142-07:002018-10-23T18:30:42.142-07:00I think "Python Patrol Crimson Guard" is...I think "Python Patrol Crimson Guard" is at least one modifier too many. Can't they just be Python Guards? That name works better for the color scheme.Battle Armor Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11935127773670585716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1730351558727980814.post-65285177554329651432018-10-23T07:31:22.664-07:002018-10-23T07:31:22.664-07:00The weakest original Python Patroller by far.

It's funny that CG's appear in Operation Dragonfire (with a slightly alerted color scheme) and so does Python Patrol, but the Python CG's do not.<br /><br />The mold is such, though, that even a poorly colored version is good. The colors here don't flow well. The yellow is used too much, it has both plain light grey and the dark grey python camo. The other python patrol guys use one or the other (or in Copperhead's case, not at all).<br /><br />Yeah, having shipped only one year, and not being available in most foreign markets, it's not surprising that Python Patrol figures are scarcer than main line releases.<br /><br />It's funny that the factory customizers didn't remake PP CG, but then they didn't make PP Officer, either, just ignoring Python Patrol entirely until recently.A-Mannoreply@blogger.com
