I was playing with some parts and they all seemed to come together or me. Put it all together and came out with this guy. I like the way he's turned out. The Head was from Slayer Design Studios and the Crimson twins shoulder mount from Vortious Custom Accessories.
Anyway, Im thinking of him as a Tank/Vehicle Designer, Maybe from M.A.R.S. or Extensive Industries. He works directly for the Commander now building all of horrible things that Cobra wants for world Domination. What do you all think?

That head sculpt has a lot of character.

that came together great. Good eye for parts, and very nice work on painting the cast head - which isn't always an easy task.

He was fun to build, and thanks for your thoughts. I have been trying to come up with ideas for my Reborn Figures, but haven't had any good ideas. So rather than not doing anything I pulled a bunch of parts from the slaughter house and put a normal kinda guy together. I was happy with him for a change.

His body and arms are Retaliation Cobra Commander
Upper Legs are Retaliation Mouse
Lower Legs and Knee Joints are Marvel Universe Ghost Rider

I like the figure, like the character. Good overall design. You're right, he would fit right in with MARS.

I like it, but you could lose the shoulder pad. It's a cool design without it.

Yeah, that was bugging me too.

I think it would get in the way and catch on door openings, access panels, or when he reaches for a pen on his design desk.

I like the use of the Ret CC torso for this. Good work.

I, for one, like the shoulder pad. Just keep it down. It looks weird flipped up.

I like it too. I think it goes along with most people in cobra have big Ego's, and outlandish clothes kinda go right along with it. And I agree, keep it down. It does look silly standing up. Thanks for all of your thoughts.

To some earlier posts, I think the head is what makes this entire figure look good. It is a great cast. I spent a lot of the time trying to get the head painted right. Then I had to repaint it because I had rubbed off spots on the paint trying to put different helmets and hats on him to see how they looked. 1 helmet from a alley Viper looked good (the one with a helmet and goggles) minus the goggles but it made him look too much like Major Blood.
