Red Shadows by Oolab [Updated]

[Owner of a Lonely B.A.T.]

Ok did some tweeks on my Red Shadows set.

Started out with the simple additions of insignia's via cobrastickers.com, but since had them out...I updated Baron Ironblood with a better head (I was using ROC Duke...yuck), and while I was customizing I added Red Wolf....so without further delay...

-As much as I tried...I just could not do this character with the stove pipe helmet, the last guy to pull that look off was Dr. Evil in Austin Powers and it looked silly then, and still does.

-The parts are...
*ROC Stormshadow body except the lower legs which are Neo Viper boots
*ROC Breaker head hair painted white
*ROC Flash helmet and vest altered

Red Jackyl

-I keep looking at the original and just saying, 'Its Destro with a red chest.' So I decided to do something differant here. Jackyl is one of the many relatives of Destro also in the arms business.

-He is made from...
*POC HISS Driver body except lower legs which are from 25th IG.
*POC Destro Head
*Resolute Zartan Vest

Red Laser

-Much like other characters, I just could not NOT see the original as anything more than a red version of Cobra Commander, so I took some liberties...

-He is...
*ROC Charbroil body vest modified
*ROC Flash gun
*ROC Neo Viper pack...the rifle is attached by the Charbroil hose and does store there as well.
*ROC CC's head painted

Black Major

-Took some liberties...but stayed pretty close to the concept...
-He is...
*ROC SE Legs
*ROC Neo Viper body and arms
*ROC MARS Trooper web gear
*ROC Stone head, some red paint

Red Shadow Trooper (DDP Comics version)

-I prefer this look pure and simple.
-He is..
*Resolute Destro painted red...duh.

-Nearly a straight repaint of ROC Charbroil

Red Wolf

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v188/edimusprime/Custom%20Figures%20and%20Vehicles/RedWolf2.jpg

-I was looking to see who was left (and yes I realize Kraken and Muton are still missing) and Red Wolf came up.

-He is...
*25th Red Cobra Commander
*POC Air Raid head, and gear vest which is painted all black
*The helmet is actually two helmets...its POC Beachheads modified (cut the big filter off) inside Resolute CC's helmet (glued).

-I find this character very silly in the thought that somehow a skeleton is a live character but I figured lets give this a shot.

-He is...
*Red SW Battle Droid body
*Tan SW Battle Droid arms and legs (painted)
*Montazuma Skelton head (painted)
