September 2nd - Red Shadows Black Major, Red Jackal and Hyena
Red Jackal I resisted making this custom for years as Destro is really recognizable and I believe that a repaint of him to make a different character is impossible. The repaint will always look like Destro. Still, while playing around with spare parts, I threw this guy together. It’s a simple recipe and one that other customizers have already probably done. I figure he could be Destro’s cousin or uncle, someone who represents MARS to the Red Shadows so Destro himself can focus on selling weapons and keeping Cobra happy. Head: Marvel Drax Torso, arms: 25th Destro v1 Legs: 25th Destro (IG) Hyena This was a super simple custom inspired by RelenaWarcraft’s version. The custom only required removing the original Operation Crimson Sabotage stickers and replacing them with Reprolabels. For a long time, I told myself that I would not make this custom. I felt that the HISS is too recognizable as Cobra’s weapon. Making it red did not change that fact. However, seeing RelenaWarcarft’s version as well as finally putting together a Red Jackal custom make me change my mind and take the plunge. All: Operation Crimson Sabotage HISS with Toyhax labels Black Major My version is a straight forward re-do of the original and is heavily inspired by HypnoHustler’s excellent custom. I changed a few details to try to replicate the original figure as much as possible. Head: MTF Torso: ROC Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes Legs: ROC Cobra Commander Feet: DG Cobra Commander Upper arms: 25th Duke Lower arms: ROC Zartan Cap: 25th Red Star

Seeing these makes me wish we had modern versions of Red Shadows. But they probably wouldn't look as good as yours though...

Nice, I jumped around on my Alexander Destro or Jackal . I finally decided on a simple red Jackal custom using the black Destro head on the sweater POC Snake Eyes body. And I also said he was a member of clan Destro, but like Darklon not a direct heir to the empire so to speak.
