Sludge Viper was released carded as part of the tenth series (1991) as part of the Eco-Warriors subset. He was discontinued domestically in 1992.
Versions of Sludge Viper:
This was the only version of Sludge Viper ever made.
Accessories:
Sludge Viper came with a purple pistol, a purple backpack, a purple water-firing cannon (that could fire water), and a black figure stand.
The cannon included a red plunger that could be removed. If the cannon was filled with water, the plunger could be pushed in, causing water to fire out of the cannon.
Variations:
There are no known variations of Sludge Viper.
Body Construction:
Sludge Viper's body is entirely original - no parts were taken from other figures. The entire body mold was re-used in 2001 to create Sub Viper.
Like all the Eco-Warriors figures, spots on Sludge Viper were covered with a special color-change plastic. When the figure was hit with water, the plastic changed colors to simulate "battle damage".
