Most 1994 figures included a weapons tree, a mostly generic selection of previously released weapons, still on the plastic sprues.

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. Viper did not get the vertical logo treatment.
Viper has no known paint app variants. There are two carded figure variants, one marked "MADE IN CHINA" (seen above) and another marked "MADE IN INDONESIA". There are thirty+ known 1994 Battle Force variants featuring various packaging and paint app combinations. See them all on Facebook.
