PURSUIT OF COBRA FORCES



I really liked the creative riff on G.I. Joe that we got with POC. I hope that they continue with that same flavor.  I loved the interpretations of Duke, Beachhead, Spirit, etc.  The COBRAs, on the other hand (with the exception of Firefly, Shadow Tracker, & Jungle Viper) seemed to be little more than updates of their previous incarnations (which is NOT a bad thing either).  All that being said, I wanted some COBRAs that would make the JSOC call out their BESTEST Special Operators.




The design of these troops was inspired by the soldiers in DUST 514, among other things.
Here's the breakdown:

COBRA SCOUT/TROOPER:



COBRA SHOCK TROOPER:




COBRA LASER TROOPER:


 



ENJOY!!!!!

PURSUIT OF COBRA QUICK KICK

Hey all, I know that it's been a minute, but I haven't been laying around.  Got a big backlog of figures that are  90% done, and I'll be posting them in the coming weeks.  Anyways, here's a quick (no pun intended) custom that just took me a few days to complete since I had the parts laying around.  It's Quick Kick!


Someone in a forum had the idea of putting him in Bruce Lee's "Game of Death" banana outfit.  Now that's just silly ;) But I thought about giving him Bruce's "Enter the Dragon" catsuit with a yellow stripe as a "Game of Death" homage. (Not as silly, right? ...RIGHT?)  So here's G.I. Joe's "Silent Weapons Specialist".  Enjoy!
