Very nice! Where is the copter from? I don't recognize it at all, but it is really cool the way you decked it out!

Love it, I wish I could go buy one today and paint it myself but sadly that won't happen.

What an amazing custom!
You nailed this perfectly. I would buy a few if they were in retail. |

This helicopter has been holy grail for Joe Collectors for decades. We first saw it in the classic G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero Yearbook #2 story, seeing it deploy a squad of Cobras on a train car carrying a top secret laser held by the Oktober Guard. It appeared periodically throughout the comic run, dropping off tanks and gear to Cobra forces in a variety of settings. It has been a glaring hole in the line since the ARAH run, and now the modern era.
I had been after this helicopter for a few years. It went out of production in 2005, then quickly dried up on the secondary market. Occasionally they appeared on foreign sites or eBay for astronomical prices. I posted how this was my holy grail on the G.I. Joe Discussion FB group, and someone reached out to me who had TWO. I made him an offer, we agreed and in a few days I received this bird. I had already planned in my head that this custom would be a light purple, a departure from what other customizers had done in the past. Cobra Blue is the safe bet, but I wanted mine to be true to the comic origin. I already had a set of Cobra Skycrane decals from Cobrastickers, which made them for those customizing the Eagle Hawk. For pilots, I had been eying the Gyrator kit from Raginspoon, so decided on two pilots - Gyro-Vipers. Here is the final work - I decided to not do doors because the figures were hard enough to get in the pod as it is and liked the open cargo look for fast deployment. I added a windshield and consoles in the cockpit. Most importantly, I added a massive chin gun from a CORPs raft I picked up at Walmart. The Skycrane can carry a variety of Cobra vehicles - from Cobra HISS tanks to the Rage. It is essential to rapidly getting Cobra weapons to the battlefield! |

That is so damn awesome.
Now if we could just get the snake headed carrier from the movie intro.
