Cheaper to just have a copywriter paraphrase the existing filecard as they're cutting it down to the length for this profile than pay a creative to actually come up with something new. It always comes down to money...
You're giving them too much credit. At this point I'm pretty sure they are just AI. Heck. I'm still salty about them releasing Kir Kanos as Carnor Jax in the black series because nobody there has any frigging clue about the actual characters or lore.

That said, in a world of thrifters and secondhand goods (which, in itself is probably about half a decade out of date from that trend's peak), there's a lot of weird stuff people collect. My dad used to collect phone cards for a hot minute there and were only useful items for a few years back in the early 90's...

I can tell you first hand that a lot of people feel the same for us collecting action figures man... For that reason I don't judge what ever people wants to collect!???

I actually really like the Stealth Viper. I wish the Crimson Viper had looked like that. I'm not going to buy it, but it's probably my favorite not-classic-colors Viper.
