Make Useless Repaints Useful Again This thread is for recipes that turn the pesky repaints and re-deco's of figures into useful Army Builders and other figures that can be converted over with simple gear and head switched. Try to keep these mod's simple and with no painting or remolding required.

Black Cobra Commander Elite Guard Recipe There are a ton of Army Builders out there that purchased the Cobra Legions Box set many times over to build the Stinger Driver. This left you with a ton of Black Cobra Commanders and others. This Recipe is very simple and gives you a great Elite Guard for your Black Cobra Commander. 1) Pop the head off one of the many Black Cobra Commanders you may have left over from the Legions 5 pack. Save the Helmet and the Body. 2) Take the Cobra Trooper Head from the Wave 11 Flint and pop it on the Black Cobra Commander body with the black CC Helmet. 3) Instant Black Cobra Commander Elite Guard or Black Cobra Trooper Army Builder.

Beach Head Green Shirt When the Comic 2 Packs first hit I went a little crazy getting stickers for the DOC mail away. This Recipe turns 1 of the extra Hawk's into a Beach head Green Shirt. 1) Pop the head off the Hawk Comic 2-Pack Figure. 2) Snap the extra Wave 6 Comic 2-back Beachhead mold onto the Hawk Body. 3) Replace helmet and weapons and get an instant Green Shirt Beachhead.

blue firefly, from tru greenshirts can be turned into a random cobra terrorist
take a battle armor CC head and webgear of your choice. add gas mask for extra terrorist look also ive seen cobra trooper heads on ninjas, red ninjas get the red mask, ninja ku black mask. looks cool. cobra commander heads look cool on bats with a marauder beret on top... you can make just about any joe a diver with a torpedo and an extra head. just slice off torpedo's face and then carefully slice duke, flint, shipwreck, or anyone else you think would work and glue it to torpedo's faceless head.

i like the Legions CC with trooper head mentioned by Destro. toss a cobra emblem sticker on his chest, and it's a passable simulacrum for underlings of the 'dark officer' guy on the Canadian cards.

Remove the head off the black suit SDCC CC and replace the head with the head from the tie fighter pilot from the comic pack ( baron fel I think his name is) for an instant U.S. President.

I plan on using heads from some the repaints to have a squad of helmetless Vipers for a base/diorama I am working on. A little paint here and there and the heads will look totally different from the original.

Also thinking about picking up four or five Snowjobs and switching heads with a few repaints, add some different gear and have a arctic Joe team.
