Like many of you, I have quite a few mismatched 25th Cobra Troopers in various levels of completeness. None of mine have helmets (except one Air Trooper). The 25ers are at a low level of interest to me, but since I have them, I might as well give em a go (or sell them). I do not have a single 25h helmet, but I think they are kinda ugly anyhow. Have there been any helmets released since then that would both look proper and fit well?
50th Female Cobra Officer? Ultimate Cobra Commander Helm? Something else? Worst case would be to cast up a bunch of Air Trooper Helmets but then my mismatched squad would be something other than CTs. Bonus question- what are some small mods that can be made to improve the figures? Shaving elbows and crotches comes to mind, but are there other things? |

The POC/30th Cobra helmets are amazing (except having no paint inside them). But if you are buying those up you may as well just upgrade your troops.
Just a thought, how about marauder helmets? They are a bit more modern looking, but they are in a sort of sillier style to cobra helmets IMO. Not sure how they would look, but maybe someone with both items could cost a pic? https://www.marauderinc.com/product-p/mtf-s5030.htm |

The 25ers have peanut heads :p. Maybe the one you linked would look better? I’m really curious how the 50th Female Officer helm will look. As well as the Ult CoCo. |

The green helmet looks way too big, and I agree, too Joe, not enough Cobra. Are the blue ones you have Marauder, they look different to the ones I posted a link for?
True on the head size, but you could get some black balaclava marauder heads to go with their helmets? |

You could try this one.

One of the key points is cheap, I don't want to hurt the 25ers feelings, but those figs are mismatched batch of over the hill naerdowells. Flushing good money after bad is an overall negative. That being said, I am now quite pleased with my MARS Cobra Troopers (with some mods and paint), whereas in the past they were very lacking. |

If painting eyes is not a problem, check out paraviper's cast, head and helmet combo:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/MH066-Cast-...e301%7Ciid%3A1 Flat shipping for multiples, and also: dynamite effect(!) For the lower arms and hands: I got nothing. |
