Much as I did with my Night Vipers, I wanted to find a way to represent Cobra's mountain troops with an easily duplicated recipe. In the process, I decided to address some issues I'd had with the original (primarily by eliminating what felt like a predominantly desert color scheme),

Here's where I ended up:

What do you guys think?

That works a ton, excellent character choice and nice job.

nice use of parts for an updated RV, and the understated nods to the original figure really makes this work! the 'stache is perfect!

Good looking figure. I'd nab a few at retail. :-D

What does he look like with out the helmet on, assuming it's removeable ?

You know Hasbro is just going to steal this recipe and release these next year. :rant:

Awesome as always Spin. ;)

Thanks for the kind words on this one, guys.

The head under this helmet is VvV Sgt. Bazooka. I've got three more pieced together with other heads, including a 25th Roadblock (so keeping the facial hair theme going, but with diversity), and I'm working on a leader that will be a named character. I'm thinking of calling him CMS (for California Mountain Snake).

I'll post a group shot when they're all done.
