What is this? A custom thread from me? Yeah, it's been a few years since I've done a custom, but since it doesn't appear that Hasbro is doing a Retaliation accurate Cobra Commander, I wanted to make one up.

I've seen a few around, and borrowed most of their ideas, especially Tankster's. I didn't like the boots, though, since it doesn't look like Cobra Commander wears boots in the film:



Recipe:

Head: HISS Driver Cobra Commander
Torso: RoC Storm Shadow (front flap cut out of jacket for more accuracy and better articulation)
Arms: Retaliation Storm Shadow
Legs: PoC Cobra Commander

I'll be painting him at JoeCon. Anyone have any other part recommendations? Other thoughts? I'm pretty rusty on my customizing skills, and this was my first modern era "torso crack" but it worked pretty well.

Really well done! I would almost try CC 25th lower legs as they have that skinny look lke his pic, but really good as is!

What?! I had the same reaction that you did, Justin!

I would almost go with the Retaliation Joe trooper legs, especially from the pics I've seen.

Pretty much the same design I chose for it I just sculpted the upper torso to look more screen like and added vinyl strips for his cape I just wish we had more of a movie accurate helmet available
