Post subject:  Old Cobra Commander, Red Shadows, and a Headhunter

Just a few that I've done after my mojo was working overtime from doing the GP #50. Took my GP pics tonight so I went ahead and snapped these too.


Old Snake-- When Billy and his cohorts finally made their way into Cobra HQ to finally put an end to Cobra, Zanya fired a crossbow bolt through the Commander's eye. Billy was suddenly outraged and sent Zanya away before he took out his anger on her. With the dead body on the floor Billy heard a wheezing and coughing man congratulate him. A very sick Cobra Commander stepped out and explained the ruse of his decoy Cobra Commanders. Not sure how to handle the intense emotions Billy broke down and sent his associates away. Cobra Commander handed Billy a hood and told him it was time for a new true leader to take the reins of Cobra. Cobra Commander told him he would serve as his adviser and took the name Old Snake. They sent footage of the decoy's body to the US government and when they demanded the body, Billy revealed he was the new leader of Cobra.

I've got a snake headed cane I need to finish for him. Basically this is my way of moving the story along and I got to try painting a Mickey Mouse CC logo. Tried to piece together a frail old man with skinny limbs, maybe some unknown disease or untreatable cancer has taken ravage on his body.

Baron IronBlood--I'm not real familiar with the actual Red Shadows line other than pictures on yojoe.com. I took the Devil's Due characters and tried to mix them into the mythos. This is Wilder Vaughn as Baron Ironblood.

Red Jackel-- and this is Arthur Kulik as Red Jackel.

And a group shot of what I got so far: Muton, Dela Eden/Skeletron, Baron Ironblood, Red Jackel, and The Black Major

Image

I've got plans to add Vance Wingfield, his son, and M. Bison to the lineup

And finally a Headhunter-- Started out modding the legs to make the hockey mask bad guy from Chap Mei in o-ring format. Slowly got changed to this gangster. Figured the Headhunters needed a streetsmart guy to protect them in the hood. With him is Gristle, a figure I made years ago, I just updated the shirt to match the colors I've decided to use for the Headhunters.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I hope to finish the rest of my WIP drawer up soon if the weather is crappy enough to justify me staying inside.

Thanks for checking them out. I was afraid I would get called out for stereotyping but I've been trying for a baggy jeans sagging thug since the Mirror Universe GP. I just had a hard time finding a place for such a character to fit in.
