Most 1994 figures included a weapons tree, a mostly generic selection of previously released weapons, still on the plastic sprues.
Alley Viper's orange weapons tree included two rifles, a shield, two missiles and a figure stand.
A missile launcher and mask were also included in the package.

In 1994, Hasbro produced figures in China and Indonesia. This resulted in several paint app variants. To compound matters further, Hasbro also changed the card art on some figures from the older horizontal logo (with a red or blue laser backdrop) to a new vertical logo (with a red or blue to black gradient background). The back of the new card also featured a reformatted baseball card sized file card with condensed writing. Several figures did not get the new vertical card art treatment. Alley Viper did not get the vertical logo treatment.
Alley Viper has two paint app versions: with stripes on his thighs, and without. The striped figure variant was made in China (see carded figure above), and the stripe-less variant was made in Indonesia (see carded figures below).
