I really loved when this vehicle came out at McDonald's just not the execution. The big cobra head on the front was great, but it shot water and didn't hold a figure.
After this project started gaining traction, I rediscovered this vehicle. The back and interior needed a lot of work to get a figure and a seat in, but I love the finished product.
Armaments were some of the most difficult pieces, and I went through a ton of ideas before I settled on the nose machine gun, side missiles, and rear land mine. I felt that these would be perfect in battle go-kart scenario.
The stickers are mostly from Kre-o, with a few coming from the POC HISS.
The colors are pure old school Cobra; think Stinger and FANG here. Even the name was inspired by these vintage vehicles. My wife helped me come up with a good name then backronym for the kart. We must have talked for an hour on the phone before settling on the right one.
This was a fun project for sure!
