No, it's not a real piece scheduled for release - it was on display during the customizing class, along with several other concepts created in-house at Hasbro. This one was designed by John Warden, sculpted by Dave Proctor and painted by friend of the site Erik Arana. He even has his own special accessories:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/gijlawn3.jpg\" title=\"he's a dandelion tamer\" width=\"300\" height=\"395\" class=\"aligncenter\"><\/p>\n<p>The one-of-a-kind figure was auctioned off for charity, so no, you'll never own a Lawn Viper. Unless somehow Hasbro was convinced that tons of people want one and it would be financially beneficial for them to make it. Check out the gallery below to see the original concept art and to read the officially produced filecard.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-9194 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/gijlawn5.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/gijlawn5-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/gijlawn1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/gijlawn1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/gijlawn2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/gijlawn2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H5>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;<\/H5><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Lots of toys make a Super Bowl appearance\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2026\/02\/lots-of-toys-make-a-super-bowl-appearance\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Lots of toys make a Super Bowl appearance<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"GI Joe: Operation Blackout\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2020\/08\/gi-joe-operation-blackout\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">GI Joe: Operation Blackout<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"The Pythona that almost was\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2016\/06\/the-pythona-that-almost-was\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">The Pythona that almost was<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"World's Smallest - GI Joe Snake-Eyes Micro Action Figure review\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2021\/01\/worlds-smallest-gi-joe-snake-eyes-micro-action-figure-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">World's Smallest - GI Joe Snake-Eyes Micro Action Figure review<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"GI Joe: Stars and Stripes Forever addendum\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2014\/02\/gi-joe-stars-and-stripes-forever-addendum\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">GI Joe: Stars and Stripes Forever addendum<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yep, just another day on Cobra Island, tending the greens. &lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;GI Joe - the videogame?
