“Commander.”

“Yes Tomax.”

“The crowd is ready for you.”

“Thank you Xamot.”

Cobra Commander, brave leader of the new “free world,” founder of New Springfield, a safe haven and sanctuary for all who arrive. Safe within the high walls the residents are protected by the Commander and his men. Ever present at his side the Generals, Tomax and Xamot. In the old world they were businessmen of the highest caliber as well as leaders of the infamous and fanatically loyal Crimson Guard. Now in the “free world” they are charismatic loyalists of Cobra Commander, his right and left hand men, they advance his agenda through their network of Crimson Guard and Shadow Guard. The three men step out onto the patio, the Commander always two steps ahead, flanked by his trusted advisors. The assembled crowd cheers wildly, knowing they owe their lives and their safety to the man behind the mask.

Cobra Commander
Suited Cobra Commander, as the face of Cobra in New Springfield it isn’t always appropriate for the Commander to be in uniform, for certain tasks a more professional look is better.

Tomax & Xamot
Suited. Others have done this, I can’t remember who did the heads first if you know please post the link. I did swap out the feet to allow for more articulation.

Image

Armored. The twins get their own armored up variations for fighting alongside the Commander when he is in his armor.

And finally the obligatory zombies.

I took all the pouches off this figure which left a bunch of holes so, drill in hand I opened his gut up.

Image

Yes it's Gollum, I sculpted some hair, thinking this one is some kid that's been a zed from early on, all his clothes have been torn to shreds. I did shorten the feet a bit and trimmed the ears down but may go back and do more modding to it. Maybe not though.

Thanks!

Yeah both heads are Loki. The short hair from the Thor line the long hair from AOU line.

I wanted a few more kid zombies and grabbed the LOTR two-pack cheap on Amazon just to make this one.

Love love all three suited figures.

CC really suits that look - and the Loki heads are perfect for the twins. Great stuff

CC is good, but those Twins are awesome. i love how you used the different heads for them.

Gollum zombie is great too. I knew exactly what you were going for with him.

The twins are awesome. Both versions, but especially the suited versions. And nice work adding articulated feet. Going to have to think about that on a few customs I have using those parts.

I also like CC. Small critique would be how high the head seems to ride, but I know the hood really blocks how low you can go with it. The hood itself may just be giving an illusion of riding high anyway.

But the paint work on all is truly great.

The suited twins look like they are straight out of a 90's action movie.
Fantastic.

As I said on facebook....I really like the suited twins. They're perfect,except for the lack of swivel arms. I still don't understand how Mattel thinks we need swivel legs but not swivel arms.

Thanks all.

I can't take credit for using the different Loki heads on the twins. I don't remember who but someone else did it first, I just put my spin on it.

As for the head being too high, I'll take a look when I get a chance cause you're right, in the pics it looks a bit high. It didn't look that high in hand so either it's the angle or I missed it.
