Doc's Customs of the Day 9/28: Big Boa like you have never seen him b4 9/29 Spearhead

[docfairday]

Today's customs are two of my favorties I have done this far.

The first is Big Boa as he would be today. After 20 years of serving as the Cobra Trainer Big Boa was offered a leading roll in a blockbuster Hollywood movie based upon Roman Gladiators. He became the character in every day life and has kept the outfit. He has also retired from being the main Cobra Trainer. He is now the General Manager of the Cobra Training facility. He will occassionally battle in octagon style bouts to humble new recruit. However he does not want to ruin his Hollywood face so he puts on the mask that made him feared. He has a well trained entourage that follows him as well as some of PDD escorts at his every call.

Spearhead and Max was one of my favorites s a kid since he came with a cougar which was the name of the street that our summer cabin was on.

Coolness!

[sgt.bludhound]

Big boa looks awesome! is that a WWE figure?

[MTN]

Those are both awesome great job!

[MAJOR WOLF]

Good job on both of them!

[umanumanamo]

Nice Spearhead! I remember him as always being my younger brother's favorite.

[SnAkEyEz]

Max is a Bob Cat btw... Big Boa is sweet

[xFlintx]

Boa is cool, but I'm really digging Spearhead and Max. Neon and all!

[dawg99]

great job on both

[Troynos]

Great Spearhead. He was always one of my favorites.

But uhm... Max was a bobcat, not a cougar....

[docfairday]

Well thanks for killing my childhood memories on the differences of big cats :(
Big Boa is for the most part a wwe bnb HHH with a Pirates head the short fat guy.

Well thanks for killing my childhood memories on the differences of big cats :(


Sorry.

But wouldn't call a Bobcat a "big" cat. It's about 2 times the size of a housecat, maybe 3 times. A Cougar is about 2-4 times the size of a Bobcat.

edit:
The way Max was shown in the one comic that Spearhead appeared in (Marvel's G.I.Joe Special Missions, forget the number), was very accurate for what a bobcat is.

off topic, but do you know how long it took me to realize your avatar was a lamp?

jeez, talk about double image :)

[DarthBrett]

LOL!!! I looked back to see what you were talking about and it made me laugh. It's like those ink blot tests when they ask what you see! I am betting we saw the same thing. That is funny!

Guess that was the point of his avatar!

Spearhead looks 100% accurate! I love Big Boa (wish Hasbro would make him already) and I like your take on his appearance underneath the mask.

I was just thinking the same thing. Whatever psychological disposition made you guys see what you saw...it seems I have it too.

Same.

First glance, saw what everyone does. But then I knew it was a lamp and that's all I see now, is the lamp. It's lost the other image.

[docfairday]

Hey guys I was totally joking when I said thanks for killing my childhood memories. I knew cougar could not be right but as a kid that was the connection I made. I do appreciate all of the comments even the off topic ones as it keeps bumping my thread so more people might look at it. Now i need to go find this lamp.

[Golobulous]

i love your big boa, i really want hasbro to make big boa, he is one of my all time favorites.

great job on spearhead as well

[Vulcan_Raven]

I have been waiting for a spearhead and yours is really accurate, job well done! What is this other image people are seeing anyway? It looked like a lamp the first time i saw it and it still just looks like a lamp.

[DarthBrett]

Well, the lamp's post looks like panties.....and the bush looks like a gloved hand.......and well, you can picture what the wall looks like :D


Sorry.

Big Boa needs to be made by Hasbro! If they can make Croc Master, they can make Big Boa.

[butter_the_pure]

If they can make Croc Master, they can make Big Boa.

Oh, yeah! It's almost a must once you get the Croc you kind of need Big Boa. I wouldn't mind if we got the rest of the 1987 single carded year of Cobras.

Big Boa
Raptor
Techno-Viper
Crystal Ball

Might be a nice box set for Christmas.

nice
