I showed Sokerk before, and Glenda is just a feet swap and repainted hair, but they both got their shoulder patches today. I need to do a group shot with the convention figures.

This was my first attempt with waterslide decals, and as you can see I lost a little pigmentation on the patches. Dunno if I just didn't wait long enough after printing, or didn't spray enough of the sealant on them, or what. I'll fix these two up with a little paint, and hopefully have little more luck next time.

I knew I wanted to try my hand at a Cobra Mortal, but I had no interest in just updating the original recipe to 25th parts. This what I came up with for the redesign:

Rather than incorporate Snake-Eyes parts like the original figure, I opted to make the figure sort of like Grey Fox for Metal Gear Solid, with Snake-Eyes' scarred face under the mask and wielding his sword. Perhaps he's a failed clone experiment that came before Serpentor...

I may eventually match up all his silver parts to the same shade, but I'm pretty fond of him as is... really like how different the Wraith head and mask look with a few modifications.

I hope to do a few Action Force figures to go with Blades as well.

Great job on all, but the Cobra Mortal is brilliant!! I may have to borrow that one! Again very well done I would buy it if it were on the racks. Brilliant use of the Wraith head also. Did I say brilliant yet?

Mortal is amazing. The most unique take I've seen yet.

EDIT: What is the parts list to Mortal, and how did you do the mods?

Thanks all.

Mortal is just an EEL with ROC Flash hands and a Wraith head. Cut of the lower half of the facemask so the higher portion would work as the visor, and painted over his goatee.

I like the direction you went to the Mortal figure. I instantly got a Metal Gear vibe from him

Very cool.

Glenda was a layup, but those count toward a winning score.

The other two are very innovative.
