They are definitely one of the baddest cobras. I’m glad you like him. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks man! This isn’t a joy toy figure. Only thing joy toy are a few accessories.
This was a lot of build work. I do agree though, joy toy are cool.

Whoa man! Thank you! It’s weird how these come together at times. Like this one. There wasn’t any ; “ this looks good but this doesn’t”, and trial and error. It just flowed. 6 hours later this was the outcome.

So my way of putting him together was based off his file card.
We got dude , who cobra loves Becuase the low cost and high skill these guys have, who Cobra sends out to just War. They get no food or extra ammo. They have to survive on the battlefield.
Eating what they can and picking up ammo off of dead Joes. Soulless. Robots in a sense.
So I brought that view to life . Baggy clothes, crazy pockets, a worn look. A warfighter demon. But calculated. Beret to give them a squad appearance.
Robot head because they are a little augmented a little human but a soldier toy don’t want to duck with.
Thanks for the kind words my brother.

Awesome job Slice. Love his tablet on his wrist. Love the more haunting skeleton look. You made this guy feared and badass.
Thanks my guy! Like I was telling Ax, the concept behind a range viper is such a cool and unique idea.
Putting him together , watching him gain life while I built him was the most satisfying part.
It’s extremely difficult to:
Take an old figure who people love and don’t want changed.
Break it down through comics,file cards, and start new
Rebuild with realism homage , updates and creativity
Bring your imagination to life.
Find every part and set every piece of gear exactly
As you envisioned.
And finally breathe life into it.
I suppose how I set the bar is my love for Gi joe , and my vision on the direction of the custom I’m making .
I always appreciate you stopping by man. And thank you fortnite kind words.

They are similar molds, if not the same, for the lower legs, and you've covered the thighs with enough goodies to make them difficult to identify. In addition, a lot of JoyToy, MTF and Joe items that I recognize in there, but there are a lot I cannot identify. Once again you've done a spectacular job of making this character/figure your own, so no one will accuse you of copying their design. Kudos on your originality, which keeps me coming back to see what you've done.

Hahaha! You got a few of them! Very nice .
I’m probably the only custom maker who wont put my recipes out.
2 reasons.
1.Hard work goes into my stuff. You don’t get a free pass at trying to recreate it. ( plus I build sheer complexity so if they even try anyone would know instantly where they stole the ideas from)
I see a lot of customizers hardwork who put the build out there and guys simply come in the thread do a parts check for self gain , don’t give respect and are on their merry way. Fuck that.
2. I want you to think when you come to check my customs. Like you do Todd. You go from top to bottom checking it all out. I truly appreciate that . Becuase you not only and going through my work, as you do it, you see the what all goes into my customs.
Thank you for appreciating my work man! Always admire your views and knowledge in customs .
