Cobra Trooper

Cobra Trooper, Red Masked

Got a Scrap Iron body in a trade. Have spare Cobra Trooper heads and helmets. I'm out of web gear, so borrowed extra joe gear.

Reading around I guess there's a lot of desire for a Cobra trooper with a red mask since it was first seen on the box of the 84 Cobra Rattler. Don't know what all the grief was about, joe fan hysteria I guess.

It's Me, sorta

The Forgetten Force Ultimate Resource Group to Customizing aka FFURG is celebrating the 5 years of their forums going line. As some one who came to the site and joined at that time, I have been a long standing non-model citizen. Actually I'm a pain in everyone's ass, they just have to live with it or ban me.

So to celebrate, we dug out a feature called the Casting Call. Make a figure based on a given theme. We went back to the first and opened it up making customs of ourselves.

The Mad as in Angry Scientist

Mostly an amaglamation of PotF2 Star Wars parts (Bespin Han Solo, Darth Vader, and Royal Guard) with a Dutch Vander head supporting my Ammish/Taliban baby beard.

Who messed with my lab?

Do not fuck with my glassware, ever.

The World's Greatest Detective

Batman

Yep a Batman in his early days trying out suits and materials. This was made primarily from cast off parts. The legs are made from Darth Vader along with the belt, which really was one of the pieces that insipred the whole figure. The torso and arms are a SW Death STar Gunner. The cape is a PotJ Darth Vader cape. The head comes from a 2 pack figure of Bruce Wayne/Batman from Target.
