Okay, so I got the RoC Cobra Commander today, and while I like the figure (completely different from other CCs, but still a cool figure), I was disappointed by the paint aps. It's a wonderfully detailed mold, but the plain molded silver really killed it for me. So I gave it some washes and dry brushings to bring out the detail. Then I did the same for the accessories. Then I decided I really hated the pink-face (made him look like Krang) so I peeled his mask off (very easy...kept it removable, too) and went a different direction. I also added a Torpedo hose (I would have added two, but I only had one on hand). Anyway, pics:

WAY better - now I have to fix mine.


I thought for sure mine was missing all kinds of hoses, etc, given the number of holes placed around the figure's torso - I feel like they designed something and then stopped short or forgot about it. Love the sickly green apps on the face - much better than burnt flesh.

Awesome! I really like the base figure, but yours makes Hasbro's look unfinished. You've got me looking forward to altering my CC now.

Haven't had a good look at the original, but this looks great. Certainly not Cobra Commander as we've known him, but a solid figure none the less.

Very nice. The green is a good ode to the cartoon.

Chief-early samples had the hoses. I have yet to see any released versions with the hoses though.

Thank you. I hadn't realized there were holes in the legs for the pegs. Did you have to heat up the head to remove the mask or did it come right off? I was trying to figure out how else to fix him and now I know what I'm doing. I replaced his coat with a movie Sabertooth trench, and personally I yhink he looks 100% better, but with your tweaks it will look even better yet.

Not so sure about Cobra Commander but it still looks like a neat figure that would make a great Cesspool. Your work helps it immensely.

said it at Trigate and I'll say it again. You sold me on this torso.

nice work Darko. It is an interesting figure to be sure.

off topic a bit, but those lower legs look a lot like the lowers from the WO movie Sabretooth. They aren't sharing any parts from line to line are they?
