Crimson Guard V1 was my personal favorite as a kid. I only had one,and he carried a pivotal role in my Cobra Army as an individual,not an army builder..well,I got both,an individual that just happens to be an army builder
I avoided the ME Crimson Guards when getting into this hobby tho. I just didn't feel hasbro has done him justice since the original. That is till the retaliation version came out,although still not perfect IMO,the head sculpt is bad ass!! Fellow tanker Outbackman brought to my attention during retaliation wave 3.5 crimson guards are at Dollar general already,just in black!! all I need is the head,and lower legs wasn't long before I devised a way to get the new parts to convert those DG figures into Shadow Guard!! During the creative process The Commander was also born! http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...commander.html Originally I set out to make 3 black crimson guards aka shadow guards in retaliation style..that evolved into the commander. I now had 4 figures to this "set"..I'm a 3,5,or 10 kinda collector,so while waiting on my cast parts a 5th member was born,the retaliation style female Shadow Guard Outbackman suggested I make a "female Fred head" Well,...I know very little about the Fred thing,..Im not too knowledgeable about joe mythos at all actually,but I googled it Lol,and realized I had something Perfect in my fodder box!! I call her "The Apprentice" Or,..maybe she's more? The recipes: The Commander: Head&Legs:Retaliation Wave 1 Cobra Commander Torso&Arms:Modified DG Wave 1 Cobra Commander Hands&Side Arm:Retaliation Ultimate Cobra Commander Coat:Thor 2 Frost Dagger Loki Male Shadow Guard: Head,Holster,&Sheath:A.V.A.C.

Interesting take with the Shadow Guards, and she'd make an interesting choice for CC's love interest since the Baroness is preoccupied with Destro...

Nice use of the DG SE legs!!!! Awesome work all around!!! You have skills man!!!. I have no painting skills, but I always wanted to see what a Colbalt Guard would look like if you use the DG W2 CC and go from there. Would love to see that from you someday!!!

Thank you kind sir!! The holsters&sheaths are what made those upper legs worth using IMO. If I was into alley vipers I'd swap all their leg pouches out too! are the wave 2 troopers the same blue? I've never owned a wave 2 CC. I know I'd have to paint legs for sure,and matching up blue would be tuff to the point I'd probably have to paint the entire figure,and I try to avoid painting joints.

I figured just about any female around Cobra Commander would be fair game. I'm sure an egotistical madman would be a womanizer as well

As usual you have an incredible eye for detail. I was very excited to see this project come to fruition. Definitely amazing man. That female shadow guard gives me that bsg Starbuck vibe like I mentioned to you before. Keep rocking brother.

These are so Awesome! I'm going to need to try and make some.
For those of you that don't like to paint, you can use the PYTHON CRIMSON GUARD (v14) since they come with a black helmet. I've used them on the 25th crimson guard and it makes them look like the officers. |

They can be made paint free. the heads&holsters are cast in black. They don't have to have painted details or decals. Quote:
Yup,I see the Starbuck also,especially with the uniform..thanks man,it means a lot to me to hear praise from you!! Pretty much OG status around here!
