New stuff:
Headman, Headhunter, Gristle
Design notes:
Headman, the Headhunter trooper, and Gristle are all part of one organisation affiliated with, but not actually a part of Cobra Command. I tweaked the Headman design a bit, changing the black leather suit to a classier gray pinstripe suit and discarding the ridiculous domino mask. My inspiration for him was
Scarface
's Tony Montana and Benny Blanco (John Leguizamo's character in
Carlito's Way
)-I wanted to give him this superficial veneer of being an attractive and upwardly mobile male, underneath which hides a ruthless, if somewhat over-confident drug kingpin. I tried to keep the Headhunter design relatively faithful to the original toy, although I ditched the black leather trousers (he was looking too much like a
Road Warrior/Mad Max
cosplayer). Gristle, I see as Headman's right-hand man and personal bodyguard... a grizzled veteran of numerous drug distro turf wars, who's smart enough to know that sometimes, it's safer to be the guy doing the guarding, than the guy being guarded. I never liked any of the Gristle toy designs, so I only paid perfunctory homage to them.
