VIPERHAZARD - A Resident Evil Collection Archive

The second major figure run for the BioHazard series was handled by the company Moby Dick.

The company began in the 1980's in Japan and during the late 90's partnered with Capcom to produce merchandise for the series, starting with post-card books, playing cards, and culminating in the most well-known release they did for the series: the Real Shock Action Figures.

The Real Shock Action Figure series began in 1999 with a VHS+figure set for Biohazard 2 before moving into Biohazard 3 for marketing. It initially had a line-up planned for multiple 2-pack releases pairing each character with a B.O.W., but soon moved to single blister releases for their second wave. The figures, totalling 20 all up for the standard issues of Series 1-16, or 30 if counting the limited releases and bonus Nemesis Type-3 in the Japanese run of these, are modelled to hold certain poses, with limited motion in parts such as arms or legs, or interchangeable components such as hands for larger creatures like Nemesis, and extra parts like weaponry and stands for the figures that require them. The largest draw to the series however would be the special Nemesis Type-3 part which came in every pack released, with all figures needed to get the parts to make the final figure. As a result, the figures over the years now are significantly more difficult to find both for general scarecy being 20 years old now, but especially if they come complete with the Nemesis part, with even loose figures fetching triple digits in some cases due to rarity, particularly if they're later series releases.

There was also a limited run in the US by Toytec who redistributed the 2-piece figure boxes, but also included 2 more that were only sold in single blisters for the Japanese release in the form of Series 5 (unknown; they're a cataloguing nightmare) and Series 6 Chris Redfield vs Tyrant [Biohazard 2 Ver.]. So it was possible to get some in the West, but the line finished after Series 6 as far as I've been able to tell from reasearching the series, which meant it was impossible to both complete the main figures but also the Nemesis Type-3 with just the American releases alone. We also have photos of sealed Series 6 boxes with the Chris vs Tyrant text on them both both Redfield siblings being present in the box minus the T-103, so make of that what you will regarding dodgy distribution down the line.

My only main complaint with the series is that the figures, while a nice quality, do have issues with some sculpts mostly with the way parts are pinned, with some joints on more malleable figures like the Drain Deimos or Licker for example being prone to snapping under even the mildest of stress when posing due to them being plastic pegs. This is easily fixable with metal pins and polyester putty since they're made of PVC if you are a customiser and need to repair one for motion, or epoxy sculpt if hard-setting a piece + paint. These failing joints are what make loose figure purchases today for these releases a major gamble: your mileage may vary, be very aware of this if trying to collect them.
