While searching out a new image to use for my signature I stumbled across Drax Hall's website. For those of you that are unfamiliar with his work he did the card and packaging for many of the Venom vs Valor figures and vehicles.

While going through his amazing collection I found this image.



The figure is strangely listed as Crimson Guard v4 but it's pretty clear who it's intended to be. Does anyone have any information on this unreleased gem?

Interestingly enough, that would've been a flat-out awful Crimson Guardsman, but an awesome Toxo-Viper.

There were too many references to Toxo-Vipers and the "Leaky Suit Brigade" on filecards in the last decade for them not to have turned up somewhere.

That would have been pretty cool, I'm sure I would have bought one

Yeah, it doesn't surprise me in the least to see something like this out there, since they obviously had some access to the Eco Warriors tooling. We got the Sludge Viper repainted as a Sub-Viper, and Flint showed up driving the Desert Striker... would have been very cool to see this Toxo-Viper, I'm a big fan of those 90's era sculpts.
