Filecard information:
Code Name: RANGE-VIPERS
COBRA WILDERNESS TROOPERS
Range-Vipers are usually committed to long-term operations deep within unfriendly territory, completely cut off from communications or supplies. They have an unusually high tolerance for discomfort and can survive on a diet of snakes, grubs, roots, berries, nuts and whatever slow rodents they can catch. They are expected to build their shelters out of indigenous materials, usually rocks and mud, and procure their own ammunition by way of hit and run raids on enemy ammo depots.
"Range-Vipers are favorites of the Cobra High Command since they are so inexpensive to sustain. Once they're in the field, they don't cost anything to feed, clothe and arm. Range-Vipers don't care who they shoot, as long as they shoot at someone or something! That's why the Cobra High Command makes sure they stay out in the bush."

Filecard variation:
There are two versions of Range-Vipers' 1990 filecard: one noted H-1 and another noted C-011.
Six of the main-line 1990 figures were not carried over to 1991. All six shared the 6136 assortment number, including: Bullhorn, (v1) Pathfinder (v1), Rampart (v1), Range-Vipers (v1), Stretcher (v1), and Undertow (v1).
It’s been reported that three of these 1990 figures were shipped on 1990 cardbacks alongside 1991 wave one figures on 1991 cardbacks. These three 1990 cardbacks have been found with C-011 noted on their filecards: Bullhorn (v1), Pathfinder (v1) and Range-Vipers (v1).
We are searching for C-011 filecards for the other three: Rampart (v1), Stretcher (v1) and Undertow (v1), but they may not exist.
