I had an extra comic pack Destro and was trying to figure out a use for it when it hit me that I needed an Alexander in 25th style. The blue base of the CP Destro is different enough from Destro's outfit but still looks similar so with a few tweaks it worked nicely I think. I trimmed out the necklace and painted the neck. I wanted to find something to put on the left gauntlet but decided to leave it bare. Painted the eyes blue and covered the purple with a dark blue and he's all set to be daddy's boy.

Head: 25th Destro
Body: 25th Comic Pack Destro
Rifle: Marauder Inc (custom modified)

My Techno-viper is a bit different from what we're used to seeing. First off the purple of the original doesn't really fit with my Joeverse. All of my support Cobra troops are in blue including the specialty subsets. So once I custom mixed a nice Cobra blue and dremelled out the Neo-viper helmet the rest was easy-peasy. For me the Techno-vipers are the grease monkeys to the Tele-vipers IT nerds. The Techno-vipers are responsible for the repair and upkeep of all of Cobras mechanical equipment including vehicles and weapons. They are also more than capable of handling themselves in a fight as well.

Head: Neo-viper
Body: 25th Comic Pack Scar-face Trooper
Backpack: 25th Firefly
Laptop, bolt-cutters: PTE

And here's one I've been tinkering with for a few weeks. The headsculpt is recognizable to anyone who has met him and I think this figure fits his personality a bit as well. Its the Irrepressible Dark Horse in 25th form for my Joeverse. He's a spec-ops soldier specializing in advanced weaponry.

Head: custom sculpt
Body: 25th Gung-ho
Vest: 25th Beachhead
Rifle: Marauder Inc

I like them, but that neo Viper head just says "Neo Viper" in 25th. style, all around you did a great job on them, nice paint apps and parts selection.

Good work! The contrast between McCullen's boots and legs makes him look different from Destro.
