Facemask: Custom Cast Part
The Rest: Marauders Task Force Parts


Here have a Cobra Trooper from the "New Sculpt Era" or sometimes referred to as the "JvC" (or Joe vs Cobra) Era. This is probably my favorite army builder from the early 2000's.
I had previously completed the Desert version of the Cobra C.L.A.W.S. This time I wanted to try the first version of the figure. I knew I needed a custom cast part in the facemask. The main drawback of ordering custom cast parts is the time factor. It's just a part of the process. I wouldn't be hyperbolic in saying that the order process for custom cast parts can take several months. Mine (through no fault of the caster, of course) took close to a year. As a result, I totally forgot about ordering the C.L.A.W.S. facemask and moved on to other things. When the piece came in the mail, I remembered that I had a figure that I needed to create, so I dug through my parts bin and, luckily, I had all the parts that I needed to finish the figure.
