The COBRA Coils figure imo was truly an underrated gem from the Spytroops line. In spite of the orange colors, he looked bad-ass and his filecard made him an interesting character to me. If you ever watched Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, he reminds me of the surfer assassin who was able to shoot pistols while upside-down. (Go to the 2:56 mark to see it) Anyways, since I don't think the FSS is going to make this figure anytime soon, I thought I would make one myself.
I previously attempted this custom using the entire body of the Ninja Duel Retaliation Snake Eyes, however, it made him look too generic, so I switched out the legs with a wave 1 DG COBRA Trooper's. I also gave him red instead of orange because it's a more muted and realistic color for him. The original rifle was way too big to fit into his hand, so I gave what I felt was the closest one to it. Formula: Helmet: Ashiko's Head underneath: Red Resolute COBRA Trooper Upper body and harness: Ninja Duel Retaliation Snake Eyes Belt: DG Wave 1 Duke Legs: Dollar General Wave 1 COBRA Trooper

I will admit I don't know anything about the character but your figure looks great!

nicely done. I never had a problem with the orange trim, but the read does look way better.
