Here’s the last batch of photos for this whole mini project. While repainting my second Cobra Guard’s webgear and other bits from tan to gold, and waiting for different paint apps to dry, I thought I might as well paint the Officer webgear that originally came with the Dollar General figure.

With all the blue DG Cobra figures I had accumulated, I thought I had a ton of extras, but turns out I only had one. Apparently I had already painted and used most of surplus stock. Regardless, I had the one and figured someone would be interested in this look using the figure’s original accessories. Note that as mentioned in a previous post, there are a bunch of secret little mods to the body to help with poses.

With this temporary look//swap, I realized I had new “fresh” version of the original 1982 three Cobras, which was neat, and wanted to do something special photowise for these guys. Rather than trying to recreate the explosion cardbacks as I done back in December 2018, I remembered those three-pack ToysRUs Senior Ranking Officer packs and the special packaging used for those.

To my surprise (and dismay), the only one of those packs I bought back then was the Hawk//Duke//Grunt pack. So to ebay I went, and after a few weeks of searching for a decent price, I was able to secure the final piece of this project.

Working with the glare of the clear plastic was difficult. And with the stark contrast of the lighting setup used (to try to cut down black box glare), use of red background, and post-processing effects, it almost looks like the guards are cardboard cutouts placed in the packing. In picture below, I toned down the processing.

And then for the final photos below, I went a different direction in post, looking for a stylized//muted//painted comic cover feel:
