Like many of you, my first thought on getting the Dollar General Commander in hand was that it was the Crimson Shadow Guard just waiting to come out.

While I liked the look of head swapping Python Patrol CGs, I wanted to go a little more traditional with removable helmets and silent weapons gear. So I decided to make them all Freds.

With the left over CG bodies, I thought it was high time the Crimson Twins upgraded from their circus performer gear to something a bit more dress uniform. Simple head and gear swaps make all the difference.

yeah, they are almost perfect for it cept too short. I bought 5 more standard CGs and moved thier lower boots over to give em a boost in height. Then ordered some cobrastickers silver cobra sigils to put on them. They look killer. Be sure to take a tooth pick and hit up the buttons/medals/accents and such on thier uniforms, they really pop once you do that.

Great work! Now I'm really wishing I had picked up some PP CG's.

I did something similar. I trimmed off the Sword portion so it is just a holster and ordered the silver troop Cobra logo from cobrastickers to give them logos. I like them. I also put a black CG head on the Black retaliation CC body which is CG like IMO to serve as Bayonet (the CG in DDP's Plague) He serves as my Shadow Guard leader.

Those are great ideas. I considered cutting off the Cobra head on their swords to make them more utilitarian. The silver logo idea is a good one too.
