Blue DG Cobra Commanders seem to multiply in my collection. I am not quite sure how many I have, but more than I have a use. The black one is pretty awesome, and the blue one is fiarly ok as well, but you really only need one.
What could the blue body be used for? With a trooper head and helm, they could be sweet Cobra Colonels no? Or what other kinds of troop builers or specific characters? |

I wonder how they'd look with CG heads, maybe Cobalt Guards instead of crimson?
I use the Cobra figures with yellow web gear as ceremonial soldiers, flag bearers, etc. Maybe a half masked head with a blue or red beret for a cobra officer "dress uniform"? |

I like this idea. I seem to recall a few early comic appearances where the Crimson Guard looked Blue.

I don't have my collection on hand at the moment, but could someone take a pic of the blue DG CT head and helm on this body?
Cheers! |

At one point, I switched out the silver gear on a black figure with the gold from the wave 2 version and made a black and gold leader of my nice little force of Shadow Guards. |

Some years ago when the Dollar General Joes were in the stores, I would buy lots of Cobra Commanders. AVAC Labs cast me some CG heads in black, so I would paint the chest details silver and make Shadow Guards of them. When the blue ones came out later, I got some heads cast in blue and used the same recipe to make blue “crimson” guards. I call them “Cobra Infantry Officers” and use them as mid-level officers to lead my blueshirts (the rank above the regular Cobra Officers).

Here’s a few pictures I had on my phone (my collection is pretty disorganized).
I have 10 Cobra Infantry Officers and 30 (custom) Shadow Guards (counting the one with gold trim). When Shadow Guards were released in the 50th line, I made them the heavy weapons enforcement part of my Shadow Guards. |
