So I haven't read the old Marvel scents they where new and am now thinking of doing a custom Billy but don't really remember much about him.
He is the Commander's son, hung out with Storm Shadow and then Zartan right? He hated CC and was some what of a Cobra trader? Was he ever really loyal to his father? I guess my question is would he ever have been in line to lead Cobra or was he more of an outsider? Any explanation of his story would be helpful but I just might end up making an "alternate universe" Billy and do what ever I want. :p |

Billy was a Cobra boy scout, lost his eye and left leg and got a cool robot one, and then trained with SS, Zartan, and SE.

The billy of the comics would never join cobra after what happened to him and what he saw his father do to storm shadow.. that being said in his last comic appearance he was so fed up with the war in general he did not want to be found by either side, he wanted to be left alone.

Humm, my big idea was to do him up in Cobra colors. I was hoping there would be something that let me shoehorn him into the idea I had. What sort of clothing was he typical show in? Like when he was with Zartan. I tried looking around for pics of him but couldn’t find much I could work with.

Originally when he was with zartan he was wearing a Storm shadow outfit minus the cobra sigil and of coarse he had the eye patch. he usually always has worn a white shirt that i can remember i think later in the devils due series they put some different pants on him. He also later on had a grungy hair and beard thing going kind of like the modern shipwreck. Check out the marvel comic archive for the "Destro Search and Destroy" story arch, Billy played a big role in that story as did zartan and chuckles. Awesome story!

I am planning on doing a Billy custom very soon. At one point Storm Shadow gave him his cobra ninja uniform to use.
Making a Cobra Boy Scout Billy would be awesome. Be sure to include the bouquet of flowers and pistol though.

What I was going to use for the body isn’t a Joe figure and is shorter so I’m going for a younger Billy.
What’s the Marvel comic archive? I don’t think I have heard of it. I need to find pics of the boy scout uniform, that could work. In the end I just might end up doing fantasy Billy and go with my first idea if a comic style Billy doesn’t go with the base figure. |

I'm kinda surprised no one mentioned this link!
http://www.myuselessknowledge.com/joe/billy.html There's Billy's complete story. Anything you could ever want to know without reading the comics themselves. |

I don't do customs but I substitute other action figures for unmade characters.
Star Wars Episode II "young" Boba Fett makes a serviceable young Billy in COBRA youth uniform. It doesn't look anything like the uniform but it IS blue. I also use the Star Wars McQuarrie Rebel Soldier minus armor wearing the black jacket the Bespin Han Solo from the Princess Leia Collection (way back in the late 1990's) came with as an adult Billy. Billy also appears, as someone said, wearing Storm Shadow's original outfit minus the COBRA symbol, but that's not his typical outfit, which is civilian clothes. |
