In all the years of modern Joes I have never been able to settle on which Trooper to use. They've all had their own problems. I know I'm in the minority, but I do not like the 30th Troopers at all. I finally settled on the Bazooka Trooper for the base. I've always pictured Troopers wearing the lighter blue as in the comics and cartoon. I gave him a 25th O13 harness, a 30th Trooper head and helmet, and new hands. I also had to sand down the diaper crotch and inside the right elbow. The face is a bit messed up so I'll probably have to touch that up at some point.

This looks great. I agree with you about the 30th troopers. I don't like the arms, and the neck tilts too far down/forward for me.
I prefer your take! |

The old school version looks awesome. Nostalgic and a solid rendition. I like it.

Nice one! I liked the bazooka trooper too, I just prefer a darker blue for my Cobras.

How can you not like the poc cobra trooper. He made all the 25th cobra troopers obsolete.
And many colors to choose from Poc/30th dark blue 50th lighter blue dg really light blue dg black trooper - the best one |

The 30th has a mile long list of issues.

While I disagree with the 30th/POC COBRA Troopers being problematic, I respect that you wanted to go with a different "old school" take on the COBRA Troopers. Nice job.
