The Crimson Neo-Vipers bothered me. They are supposed to be the bodyguards of the upper ranked echelon within Cobra. I like the idea, but I dislike the execution. It’s just a recoloured Neo-Viper with nothing really making them seem more like royal guards, which is really what they are. So, as i sat looking at my collection I decided to take some spare parts and re-envision the figure. This is my take on the Cobra royal guard.

Parts List
Head: Cobra Commander (Rise of Cobra)
Torso: The Doctor (Rise of Cobra)
Upper Arms: The Doctor (Rise of Cobra)
Lower Arms: Cobra Commander (Rise of Cobra)
Hands: Union Jack (Marvel Universe)
Legs: Crimson Neo-Viper (Rise of Cobra)
Chest Armor: Crimson Neo-Viper (Rise of Cobra)
Shoulderpads: Hand Ninja (Marvel Universe)
Gauntlets: Storm Shadow (Arctic Assault)
Sash & Skirt: Sao Feng (Pirates of the Caribbean)
Guandao: Storm Shadow (Whirlwind Kick)
Shield: Dark Trooper Phase 1 (Star Wars: Legacy Collection)

I thought this was a Spectre custom when I first opened it. It could easily fit either Joe or GI Joe which is saying something. I like it.

Those parts go great together. I could see this being a ceremonial royal guard, or a battle version of the Star Wars Emperor's Guard. Nice parts and paint all around.

This has the regal look you were aiming for. Good work.

Missed this the first time through. It has the appearance of a very clean and simple custom, but I think you really pulled off the feel of an elite honor guard type of trooper.

I think this is awesome idea, and a great selection of parts. I like that you used a darker red too. All in all an inspiring and very borrowable figure.
