1991's Cesspool is a fun figure, but a character that had so many possibilities that have been largely left unexplored.

Although he's best known for his flamboyant armored bio-chemical gear, Cesspool is equality qualified to wear a suit and function as a business leader. While the Crimson Guard would be responsible for deep-cover infiltration ops, Cesspool could have been the public face of Cobra's corporate side. That's what I'm going for here.

thats a great picture, but the reimagined character really pushes it into another level of cool.

Ok, love it. I always wanted to see more of the business oriented bad guys in suits. I mean we got the Twins, but it would have been nice to see Destro in a suit at an arms deal, etc.
Cesspool looks great.

Thanks.

The great thing about Cesspool is that his scarred face and milky eye work for just about any design. You could put Cesspool in a Cobra Officer Uniform and he'd look good, too. Really an underused character.

Yes, Destro in a suit is something that needed to have been made. The NS era crept that direction with turtleneck/slacks Destro, but we never got a proper suit.

Imagine a suit Destro with an opening briefcase holding an alternate helmeted head. Yeah, that's Hasbro, just leaving money on the table.

Agree with the guys. Suited bad guys are a must. Even Storm Shadow could wear an elegant white suit.

What is the story with Cesspool right arm?

Storm Shadow in a suit was something cool that came out of Rise of Cobra, even if it was a super fancy suit. I have a suited Stormie in my ever-growing stack of customs-in-progress.

The Cesspool figure has a hand - a whole arm - that might be armor, but it might be a prosthetic. Like Major Bludd's '83 figure, it's open to interpretation. I go with robot arm because it looks cooler under a suit.
